Stating the problem. It is beyond any doubt that the
formation of a healthy way of life among the pupils and students remains one of
the strategic directions of the Ukrainian society development. Quite a new
subject “The essentials of health protection” integrates knowledge of
valeolohiya (valeology) as well as vital activities security and has for its
purpose to teach pupils to live a healthy way of life on the basis of vital
habits. On the one hand, the teacher of the essentials of health protection is
a carrier of the basic knowledge dealing with health, a healthy way of life
but, on the other hand, he remains the subject of the educational-educative
process aimed at the safeguarding of pupils’ health. Modern life requires from
the future teachers of essentials of health protection more and more integrated
psychological-pedagogical alongside with medical and biological knowledge for
the tangible organization of curative and enlightening activity.
The
introduction of innovative technologies means, first of all, the increasing of
educational and educative efficiency of studies and as a result of it the
further and more tangible increase of the realization level of the principles
of consciousness, activity and quality of knowledge, skills and habits obtained
and developed by the teachers of the essentials of health protection during
their studies at the higher educational establishment. The consideration of the
problem of health as the task of prior significance in social development
stipulates actuality of pedagogical treatment of this problem, determining the
necessity of carrying out the appropriate scientific research and elaborating
tactical and organizational methods concerning the professional training of the
future teachers of essentials of health protection which will conduce to the
safeguarding of pupils’ health. The use of information technologies during
training of the future teachers of essentials of health protection in the
context of professional training turns out for us to be quite sufficient and
necessary motive for scientific research.
The analysis of the latest investigations
and published works. Making
ready the future essentials of health protection for the use of information
technologies (IT) in the process of professional activity makes a system which
is at the same time part and parcel of the entire system of pedagogical
education of a final-year student of the higher pedagogical educational
establishment. On the one hand, such preparation is based upon the achievements
of the Ukrainian educational strategy, innovative right methods of approach
towards its restructuring and reforming with the preservation of the country’s
traditions and, on the other hand, it takes into consideration quite novel
policy of Ukraine in the sphere of education, directed at the integration into the world’s extension
and area, forms the foundations for self-development and self-improvement of
the teachers-to-be in using IT. The analysis of scientific methodical sources
has proved that the problem of professional training of the teacher-to-be used
to be and is nowadays extremely actual and new and novel aspects of the training
of the teachers-to-be for their teaching practice at a secondary school are
being revealed in the researchers’ works. The research papers dealing with
human health protection, complex of ideas and scientific statements specified
by a health-providing paradigm, by a conception of a healthy way of life, the
works concerning the problem of general pedagogical training teachers at the
higher educational establishments have found the reflection in the works of
such scientists as M.Amosov, H. Opanasenko, E. Vayner, V.Horashchuk, S.
Omel’chenko, N. Slobodyanyk, L. Sushchenko and others.
The works of the above mentioned authors have contributed
to the experience accumulation and systematizing together with the increasing
of quality of the educational process. It should be mentioned, however, that up
to now the problem of professional training of the future teachers of
essentials of health protection has not been paid much and adequate attention
to in authoritative and reliable scientific works.
The wording of the aims of the article. The society at the present stage of its
development is characterized by a further increase of the role of information
and communication in all spheres of human life activity. Coming into being of
quite new means of communication has considerably expanded and simplified the
process of communication between people irrespective of their age, nationality,
place of living, cultural and world outlook peculiarities. Therefore one of the
main tasks of any educator in the conditions of information society is the use
of contemporary means of information technologies. In information society in
proportion with the emission of IT, in particular, the capacity of global
computer network Internet, coming into existence of virtual reality, impetuous
and rapid development of the artificial intellect technologies there emerges
the sore need of using the innovative
means which to a full extent can perform the function of an assistant and a
mediator in reaching educational
goals and among them those connected
with establishing of certain relations and accomplishing pedagogical
communication [1]. Information technologies in the process of training the
future teachers of essentials of health protection may be used as: means of
teaching, means of perfecting thethe process of teaching; an instrument of
environment perception; self-cognition, means of personality development;
information-methodical supply of materials and an educational-educative process
management; means of communication; means of automation of the control
processes and correction of educational activities results, testing and psycho
diagnostics; means of intellectual leisure organization.
At present the
society understands that mastering IT is one of the basic elements of modern
education. The implementation of up-to-date information technologies provides
the further improvement of educational-educative process, accessibility and
efficacy of education, the preparing of the younger generation to vital
activities in information society promotes the solution of the problem
concerning their qualitative influence upon the content, methods and
organizational forms of learning and teaching which, in their own turn, create
the conditions for the process of renewal in the field of training the future
teachers of essentials of health protection [5]. The formed in the society
urgencies concerning professional demands towards the teacher capable to
organize health-safeguarding education have caused an appropriate social order
to the system of professional pedagogical education.
The circumstances
which are being formed nowadays at a given stage of the Ukrainian society
development and information education give us substantial reasons to formulate
the following demands towards the future teachers of the essentials of health
protection:
- the teacher of the essentials of health protection must possess and master
the essential knowledge about IT (peculiarities of its function);
- the teacher of the essentials of health protection must possess and master
the knowledge dealing with the technical and instructional means of IT in
his/her professional activity, in particular while instructing the pupils the
essentials of a healthy way of life;
- the teacher of the essentials of health protection must know how to use the
means of IT in the process of educational procedure of valeological direction
organization;
- the teacher of the essentials of health protection must know how to form
the pupils knowhow to use the means of IT necessary for the effective learning
of essentials of a healthy way of life. With this purpose the teacher of the
essentials of health protection must possess the due level of information
competence which envisages, according to educational tasks, rather an adequate and systemic use of It in
the teaching process, the use of the available electronic
educational-methodical complex as well as the development of one’s own instructional resources dealing
with the essentials of health protection;
- the teacher of the essentials of health protection must know how to use IT
for accomplishment of scientific activity, heightening of one’s own pedagogical
skill, the further development of health safeguarding technologies having to do
with the realization of the principle of
continuing professional education.
At the contemporary
stage of society development the information acquires the features of a
strategic product. That is why nowadays there is not any doubt in the fact that
the paradigm of pedagogical science itself is gradually changing in the
condition of constant influence of informativeness of education and the
structure and content of education is constantly being corrected. Taking into
consideration the above mentioned statements and while analyzing the literary
sources [2; 4] we do consider that the
teacher-to-be must possess a certain succession of information skills (Drawing
1).
The formation of
skills dealing with the use of IT in professional activities is rather a
durable process which emerges a significant component of the professional
pedagogical training of the future teachers of essentials of health
protection. This process takes place
under the influence of purposeful activity, personal energetic activity of a
specialist-to-be and some specific conditions. Therefore the teacher of the
essentials of health protection must master the methods of analysis and
selection of the necessary and effective educational information for its
further use by pupils.
The teacher of the
essentials of health protection must be able to comprehend the level of his/her own professional
activity, one’s own special, methodical and communicative abilities, potential,
the capacity to notice the drawbacks in his/her work, to have the desire for
self-perfection. He/she must know how to use rational ways of scientific
research, analysis, adequate selection, to take into consideration the didactic
principles, regularities, means, forms of the educational process organization.

Drawing 1. Structure of information skills of the teacher of essentials
of health protection who uses information technologies in professional
activities
Using of scientific, extracurricular sources,
self-training, the development of some habits of self-criticism, self-control,
mastering of speech habits also belong to the skills of the teacher of the
essentials of health protection. The professionalism of the teacher who reached
the high level of understanding of social problems is based upon the knowledge,
norms and values, abilities acquired thanks to incessant self-determination,
self-perfection and self-realization.
The effective
training of the future teachers of the essentials of health protection is
provided by the realization of the principles of systematic work, scientism,
integration quality, extension of functions of information technologies in
professional activities of the teacher of the essentials of health protection,
complication of his/her professional functions and as a result of it the
specialists form professional competence, they develop their creative
potential, creativity, readiness to use IT in their professional activities.
Thus, the contradictions between: the content of general education, on the one
hand, and the changing of needs of brunches of economy in social sphere in the
development of science-containing and information technologies, on the other
hand; the level of general and professional education and the opportunity of
job placement of young people in the society with the developing market
structure; a free choice of the education forms and safeguarding of state
guarantees of accessibility and equal opportunities of getting the full value
education are becoming more evident in new social and economic conditions
characterized by unstable development of the country and coming into being
quite new orientation points and landmarks
among the young people [6, p.8].
Summing up. In contemporary conditions of the society development
the informativeness of professional and pedagogical training of the future
teacher of the essentials of health protection has to provide the sufficient
level of his/her information culture; to increase the efficacy of
educational-educative process on the basis of introducing new information
technologies of education; to perfect the management of the future specialists
training. Only the information-competent teacher who has acquired the thorough
and substantial training dealing with the use of IT in the future professional
activities while studying at the higher educational establishment can realize
these tasks.
