THE DECISIVE ROLE OF THE "THEORY AND METHODS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING" SUBJECT IN THE IMPORVEMENT OF PREPARATION OF THE PHYSICAL TRAINING TEACHER
In the paper, the decisive role of the « Theory and methods of physical training» (TMPT) subject in the course of teacher preparation in the institution of higher education is studied. There is substantiated the necessity of revision of both the contents and structure of this major subject. It is shown that today many problems in the field of TMPT are investigated poorly, or even not formulated: there is no accurate understanding of the methodical approaches to its studying, of the essence of physical training (including the understanding from the philosophic-culturological positions). It is indicated that only after overcoming these contradictions will it be possible to expect increasing the efficiency of preparation of modern physical training cadres.
