CRITERION OF QUALITY OF LIFE RELATED TO HEALTH: THE NEED TO DEVELOP AS A CATEGORY OF PEDAGOGICAL SCIENCE
In the conditions of systemic crisis in our country there is a decline in almost all spheres of life: culture, health, education, economy, etc. Today, programs are adopted at all levels to get the country out of crisis. This process is long. There are some changes for the better. However, there remain serious problems with the health of the population. It is the main criterion in such indicators of the level of development of the country as the quality of life and standard of living. Until the level of this criterion reaches the required values, the country's economy will not be able to develop sustainably. The development of mechanisms for research and monitoring of the quality of public health is carried out in many branches of scientific knowledge: in statistics, in health care, in sociology, etc.within the framework of pedagogical Sciences, this criterion is studied in the courses of programs on life safety. Our study showed that in the methodological developments used in the study of quality of life, the criterion related to health is not fully studied, not in all the necessary aspects. Probably, this is the reason for the low level of formation of graduates of these areas of readiness of the future teacher to health-creating activities. There is a need to develop a criterion of quality of life associated with health as a category of pedagogical science, on the basis of which it will be possible to adjust the existing methods of its study.
