Formation model of management activity competence of a specialist in physical culture and sport

The theory and practice of sport management in Russia are beingestablished. However, development and acceptance of sport management as a profession occurs with increased speed in spite of manyobstacles: unformed scientific basis of knowledge in sport management, absence of complete independence of sport managers work,absence of a developed codex of moral behavior in sport management, insufficient examination of managers competence in the sphereof physical culture and sport. According to all mentioned above, there is a need for describing the model of forming of activity competenceof a manager in a sport organization that defines the aim of the work. In whole, professional competence of specialists in thesphere of physical culture and sport includes a system of general and special psychological and pedagogical knowledge and abilities,which are necessary for efficient realization of educational activity; economic, management and legal training that allows playing differentsocial roles themselves and preparing students for it; developed integral professional thought and mind that provide for success ofprofessional and pedagogical activity. The competence model of a specialist in the sphere of physical culture and sport contains socialand personality competence; general scientific competence; general professional competence; special competence; social competence;economic and managerial competence. The content of economic and managerial competences is connected with constructive, mobilizing,designing, communicative, and organizing competences; forming them will allow meeting organizing and management challengesconnected with concrete managerial functions. To give this information to students (functions and their specificity), the educationalprocess should be divided into 30% of lectures and 70% of practical classes. Most interesting educational forms of giving material aremaking a joint business-plan of a physical culture and sport organization, analysis of documents of sport organizations, managementgames where students play roles of sport managers and fulfill their duties and functions. Such kinds of activity are directed to acquisitionof practical experience connected with the ability to fulfill general management duties. In the process of studying at university studentslearn the difficulties in management work in the sphere of physical culture and sport. During the study, their managerial competenceis formed and, consequently, their competitiveness on the market of modern physical culture facilities. Thus, we defined the processof forming of competences on the basis of making a model with its concrete content; so we can suppose that these competences willhave high quality and will meet the requirements of modern sport managers.
