Abstract

Summary. The article presents an analysis of the problem of training future physical education teachers to organize physical education and mass work in the conditions of digitalization of education. Physical education is considered an important component of the educational process, as it contributes to the comprehensive development of the personality, health promotion, and the formation of healthy lifestyle skills.

The article summarizes various approaches to the problem of training physical education teachers in higher education institutions, such as the issue of updating the content, forms, and methods of professional training of physical education teachers; features of the use of pedagogical technologies in the professional training of future physical education teachers; the need for future physical education teachers to master professional knowledge; and training physical education teachers to use information technologies in teaching and coaching activities. An important aspect of the research presented in the article is the integration of digital technologies into physical education through the use of mobile applications for tracking physical activity (Google Fit, Strava), conducting online classes, or interactive lessons on theoretical physical training.

The integration of digital technologies into physical education also involves the gamification of physical education, the introduction of sports challenges, tournaments, and team competitions using digital technologies, and the use of VR/AR tools for teaching movement techniques. It is talked about how to bring higher education up to date in the area of training physical education teachers. This is happening right now with the goal of shifting the focus from sports and physical education to personal growth and making people better, which is in line with the humanistic nature of physical education and mass reality.

The article proves that such an approach determines the new content of the professional activity of a physical education teacher based on the formation of his professional culture.
