PEDAGOGICAL AWARENESS AS ONE OF THE MAIN FACTORS IN SHAPING THE PROFESSIONAL SKILLS OF FUTURE PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the role of pedagogical consciousness as a key factor in the professional skills formation of future physical education teachers. The authors emphasize that pedagogical consciousness is the basis for future teachers to understand their role in the educational process, as well as for the development of their professional competencies. Pedagogical consciousness is understood as an integral quality of the personality, which includes the awareness of the goals, objectives and methods of pedagogical activity, as well as the ability to reflect and introspect. It is emphasized that the formation of pedagogical consciousness of future physical education teachers should be based on a systemic approach, which involves the integration of theoretical knowledge, practical skills and personal qualities. The authors identify the main components of pedagogical consciousness, such as motivational-value, cognitive, emotional- volitional and activity, which interact with each other and provide effective professional training.Particular attention is paid to the role of innovative teaching methods in the development of pedagogical consciousness, among them are the use of project methods, interactive technologies, case stages and practice-oriented tasks, which allow future teachers to apply theoretical knowledge in practice, developing critical thinking and a creative approach to solving pedagogical tasks. The authors also emphasize the importance of reflection as a tool for self-analysis and self-improvement, which is an integral part of pedagogical consciousness. This article examines the main stages of the pedagogical consciousness formation of future physical education teachers, starting with the motivational stage, at which interest in the profession is formed, and ending with the stage of professional self- determination, when students realize their role in the educational process. The authors draw attention to the fact that each stage should be accompanied by the active involvement of students in practical activities, which allows them to consolidate knowledge and develop skills.Special attention is paid to the role of personal qualities in the formation of pedagogical consciousness. Among them are communication skills, emotional stability, leadership qualities and the ability to self-organize, which are necessary for successful pedagogical activity.The authors emphasize that the development of these qualities should be integrated into the educational process, which allows future physical education teachers to effectively interact with pupils and create a favorable atmosphere for learning.
