The use of health-animation technologies in the training of future physical education teachers for organizing recreational activities for schoolchildren

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of the study was to theoretically substantiate and experimentally verify the effectiveness of using health-animation technologies in the professional training of future physical education teachers for organizing recreational activities for schoolchildren. A set of methods was applied in the study: theoretical analysis of scientific literature, student surveys on motivation and readiness to organize recreational activities, pedagogical observation of students’ practical activities, pedagogical experiment using developed animation-health programs, testing the level of formation of professional competencies, as well as statistical processing of the results of the experimental and control groups to compare the effectiveness of traditional and innovative approaches in the training of future physical education teachers. Experimental verification showed that the application of health-animation technologies contributes to the improvement of students’ professional training, the formation of practical skills in planning and conducting recreational activities for schoolchildren, the development of communication and organizational skills, as well as an increase in motivation for active professional activity. Students in the experimental group demonstrated a significantly higher level of competence in creating health programs using animation-based activities and the ability to adapt lessons to the individual needs of students compared to the control group, where traditional approaches were used. The use of health-animation technologies in the professional training of future physical education teachers is an effective tool for developing professional competencies, enhancing motivation, and improving practical skills in organizing recreational and leisure activities for schoolchildren. The developed methodological approaches can be integrated into higher education curricula, enabling the creation of a modern educational and health-promoting environment and contributing to the formation of a culture of healthy lifestyles among students.
