The Formation of Professional Readiness of a Future Coach to Perform Psychodiagnostics in Professional Work
The aim of the paper is to study the level of formation of the structural components of a coach’s readiness to conduct psychodiagnostics in training and competitions and to substantiate the methods of its formation in the conditions of a university. The tasks of the study included diagnostics of the initial level of formation of the structural components of a given readiness of a future coach, development and implementation of an additional educational program in the experimental group, and determination of the dynamics of the formation of structural components of the readiness of a future coach for psychodiagnostics. The hypothesis of our research was the assumption that the introduction of a practical component in the process of forming the readiness of future trainers for psychodiagnostics will allow them to reach a higher level of appropriate readiness. The research methods are a questionnaire, a pedagogical experiment using the “Motivation of professional activity” methodology and statistical research methods. The testing data showed changes in the level of formation of the studied structural components that occurred under the influence of the introduction of the additional educational program “Psychodiagnostics in Sports”.
