Technology for developing the professional competence of physical education teachers in architecture and construction university

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to investigate the possibility of forming the professional competence of physical education teachers in a university of architecture and engineering. At the beginning of the experiment the baseline level of teachers' professional competence was determined in order to form the control and experimental groups among them. In the control group the formation of competence of teachers was carried out by taking professional development courses according to the «standard» program, according to which the participants were given lectures, seminars on various modules of the program, having to complete a course with a final qualifying paper on a selected topic. Teachers in the experimental group were trained according to the professional development programme, taking into account the developed model of competence formation. At the end of the training the previously studied indicators were tested in both groups and the data obtained was then compared. As a result, it was found that the professional competence level of teachers in the experimental group increased significantly compared to this in the control group. Thus, it showed that to be able to form teachers' professional competence «standard» professional development programmes currently implemented by Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering are not enough. For effective formation of competence it is necessary to have a special technology of teachers' training, which is implemented in the developed pedagogical model of formation of teachers' professional competence.
