Formation of sports and recreational competence of future specialists in physical culture and sports

The aim of this study is to provide a form of educational technology sports and recreational competence of future specialists in physical culture and sports. To test the effectiveness of the technology a pedagogical experiment conducted at the Faculty of Physical Education of Tomsk State University. The criteria and indicators of formation of sports and recreational competence of students have the following components: motivational, cognitive, object-professional, analytical and reflective, communicative. To determine the level of formation of sports and recreation competence of students the cumulative score was used. Successful professional activities require modern specialists in physical culture and sports to show excellence, activity, creativity and in-depth knowledge and skills of both the subject-professional and the specific nature associated with the peculiarities of professional activities. The modern university graduate should be able to organize and conduct training with sports and recreational tasks for various population groups. This activity is called recreational in the federal educational standard of higher education. Sports and recreation activities are targets of sports and physical education, but in the educational process of sports higher schools and faculties training to prepare for implementation of this activity is not given due attention to. Underestimating physical recreation as a function of a specialist in physical culture is one side of the problem. The other is the lack of training of teachers for this activity. The purpose of the study is the creation of educational technology aimed at formation of sports and recreational competence of future specialists in physical culture. Formation of sports and recreational competence is assigned to a specific organizational structure, which acts as a manifestation of the levels of competence and has level features. At the heart of each level is the degree of formation of sports and recreational skills in the form of individual development of the student. To analyse the degree of formation of sports and recreational competence, we have developed four levels. The aim of our technology is to develop sports and recreational competence of future professionals. To achieve this goal we have developed a course of Physical Recreation. To test the effectiveness of the developed technological model for the formation of sports and recreational competence we made a pedagogical experiment, with the third year students (the experimental group of 20 persons) and the fifth year students (the control group of 20 persons) of the Faculty of Physical Education of Tomsk State University participating. The preliminary stage was conducted in order to determine the initial level of formation of sports and recreational competence of students in the control and experimental groups to use the experimental educational technology forming sports and recreational competence. At the next stage of the pedagogical experiment we used the developed educational technology in the educational process of the experimental group. The final stage of the pedagogical experiment revealed the changes in the formation of sports and recreational competence in the experimental group of students after having the course of Physical Recreation and assessed the dynamics of these changes in relation to the control group. As a result of the experimental work on the practical implementation of the technology of formation of sports and recreational competence of students of the Faculty of Physical Education it was established that in the experimental group, the values obtained for all components are higher than in the control group. The results of the pedagogical experiment confirm the positive impact of the developed and implemented technology of sports and recreational competence formation of students n the educational training of specialists in physical culture and sports.
