PROFESSIONAL CULTURE OF FUTURE PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS 

The development of future teachers’ culture is one of top-priority tasks, which should not be ignored by lecturers of higher education institutions. The paper is aimed at determining the role of future physical education teachers’ professional culture in learning activity in the process of their training; the significance of cultural approach to the improvement of professional physical education and in forming professional behaviour of future physical education teachers under conditions similar to teacher’s work. The concept of teacher’s professional culture is closely connected with pedagogical culture. The study of the characteristics of training and learning activities of future physical education teachers shows contradictions existing between new requirements to training highly-skilled professionals in physical education capable of creative productive work, professional cultural self-fulfillment and real level of preparedness and professional culture of today’s graduates. Professional training of future physical education teachers is often based on narrowly professional and sports training, confining general cultural and personal development of the future specialists. Therefore, improvement of future teachers’ culture should be implemented by means of consistent humanization of the educational process at general cultural, professional and personal levels with the emphasis on its comprehensive mental, intellectual, moral and aesthetic content. Prospects for further research involve the development of an optional course targeted at forming professional culture in future physical education teachers.
