Model of professional competence formation in the recreational activity of future specialistsin physical culture

Transformationin higher education must relate to the structure, principles, organization, content, forms and methods of the educational process.Education at the University should include not only the transfer of general professional knowledge, but also the formation of specificprofessional skills that are essential for future specialists in their future professional activities. To resolve this problem, we developed amodel of the formation of professional competence in recreational activities of future specialists (bachelors) in physical education. Thestructural model is represented by three integrated blocks: motivation-targeted, content-organizational and evaluative-productive. Thedesigning model was based on the systematic analysis of the structure, content and process of operation of sports and recreational activitiesfor future professionals (bachelors) in physical culture. The practical value of such a model seems to us as a reflection of the adequacyand completeness of the basic requirements of a modern specialist in physical culture in the part of his/her recreational competence.The essential characteristic of any activity is its purpose. In this case it is the formation of professional competence in the field ofrecreational activities. Achieving this goal is the subject to all the components of the model. Competence approach to training professionalsin higher education seems to considerably facilitate the professional and social adaptation of graduates to the labour market. Forthe successful functioning of the model the key conditions were defined: organizational, psychological, pedagogical and methodical.The criteria and indicators of formation of professional competence in the field of recreational activities identified the following components:motivational, evaluative, cognitive, operational-actional, personality; and potential levels of their development: low, acceptable,medium and high. The model presented here is considered as an efficient tool organizing the process of formation of professional competencein the field of recreational activities for future professionals (bachelors) in physical culture. The model is open, constantlyevolving and if necessary can be extended with new components.
