Abstract

The relevance of the research subject is defined by the special attention currently paid by employers to the professional competence

of teachers. Whereas the professional standard for Teachers describes all requirements to personality of professional teacher’s

competence, which motivates a teacher for self-improvement to become competitive in the labor market. The goal of the article is to

develop a concept of “Creative vector certification of a Physical training teacher from the perspective of the professional standard

requirements”. The leading research method of the study of the subject matter is the systematic approach applied in the procedure of

professional certification of Physical training teachers in conditions of education upgrading. Findings of the research are in defining the

main requirements of the professional standard for Teachers in relation to Physical training teachers, as well as in development of

certification technology for Physical training teachers to ensure achievement by a teacher of high meta-subject, subject and personal

results by means of using the author’s concept. The article materials can be helpful for teachers of various education levels, as well as

for supplementary education teachers, coaches, school-counselors in the field of physical education.

implementation - 1.8%.

Introduction¹

The paradigm of anthropic education of a professional in

physical education, possessing broad-contextual thinking

consists in grounding the ways of implementing humanistic

values and ideals in the system of education. There is a

necessity and significance of preserving the cultural-creative

character of the education system of the higher educational

institution and ensuring enrichment of the subjective position

of a professional, both inside the department of physical

education and in the professional life [1]. In this respect the

subject of pedagogical activity in the sphere of physical

education shall have regulatory support of his/her creative

initiatives, whereas now level generalized, not personalized

criteria prevail in qualification requirements for the

professional [2]. Representatives of employers also took part in

an introductory study of potential subjects of creative

certification conducted by the authors. The following were

expressed as the basic essential positions of the attitude to the

creative certification of teachers:

She only adds additional responsibilities to an already busy

teacher and can contribute to early professional burnout - 1.8%

it does not bring results comparable to time and other resource

costs - 1.6%.

It can increase the level of anxiety of the teacher, as the

criteria for certification vary within an extremely wide range -

.5%.

It contradicts the requirements to federal state standart for

general education - 1.0%.

) "It is a possible procedure, because ..." - it may be interesting

for individual teachers, especially at the time of changing the

workplace - 12%

of a teacher - 38%.

It can become the basis for the formation of effective teacher

contracts - 21%.

It duplicates the certification of the teacher, and its

Based on a generalized analysis of the survey results, we can

conclude that the usefulness of such a procedure is seen by

teachers and employers. We deliberately indicated detailed

objections to the introduction of this procedure in the modern

educational space in the field of physical education and sports,

so that consideration of the technology of this process would

remove the identified potential barriers.

a certification type is confirmed by the research results of

Russian and foreign scientists [15]. The scientists confirm in

their studies the necessity and the possibility of insights to the

mechanisms of professional activity, development and

transformation of individual consciousness of a professional

and extended reproduction of his professional mentality [16-

21]. Thus, the problem under research was development of a

concept “Creative vector certification of a Physical training

teacher from the perspective of the professional standard

requirements”. The object of the study are school teachers,

supplementary education teachers. The subject of the study is

the process of developing creative certification of school

teachers and supplementary education teachers. The goal of the

research is to develop creative certification of teachers for

achievement of high meta-subject, subject and personal results

according to FSES GE (Federal State Education standards of

General education) by using the author’s concept. The

hypothesis of the research was an assumption that the concept

3 Results

The problem of developing a concept “Creative vector

certification of a Physical training teacher from the perspective

of professional standard requirements”. Based on the necessity

presented, the authors developed a concept of “Creative vector

certification of a Physical training teacher from the perspective

of professional standard requirements”. The concept was

created on the principles of humanistic paradigm of education

to address the situation related to qualification assessment of

Physical training teachers, which imposes not personalized

requirements to teachers and has prevailing degree

characteristics, and not qualitative characteristics of evaluating

the success of teachers’ activities on their way of becoming a

professional teacher. At the same time, the semantic

arrangement of activity in assessment procedures gives way to

instrumental, often formal confirmation of the teacher's activity

success according to the average requirements and indicators

[22]. In this case the interests of the education management

subjects, the subjects of pedagogical activity in the sphere of

physical training and sports, as well as the tasks of making

comfortable relations between them are not taken into account

[23]. Moreover, the fact that the requirements of the federal

state standard for higher education are used as a basis for

creation of qualification assessment parameters for mature

professionals, raises doubts [24]. The teachers left higher

education institutions long time ago, their professional

functions differ much, their professional experience has

specific individual peculiarities, their methods and a set of

personal qualities are unique.

Certification – a form of compliance assessment performed

by certification authorities to certify that a professional

complies with the requirements of technical regulations,

standards, rules or contract terms. The procedure of getting a

certificate is also called certification [4]. Bibliography survey

on the problem of developing a concept “Creative vector

certification of a Physical training teacher from the perspective

of professional standard requirements”.

A quantitative,

comprehensive, not individualized approach to analysis of

assessing the success of teachers’ and students’ activity was

criticized in the ‘30s by prominent teachers. Among them were

[5, 6]: it’s enough to remember his polemics with the official

pedagogy on the role of labor in personality education, and

V.A. Sukhomlinsky [7], whose unique work results as a head

of school were first evaluated as false by representatives of

administrative authorities. The authorities later acknowledged

their mistakes in the process [8]. Thus, Order №123 dd

4.09.1939 of People’s Commissar of education of RSFSR

assigned to the responsibilities of the School head regular study

of teachers’ work, and stated: “This work (teacher’s activity

evaluation) became a comprehensive, inefficient, fiscal system

of intraschool control due to the head’s inability” [9].

In the process of qualification assessment procedures

arranged in accordance with the principles of compliance of

teacher’s activity results with the educational standard, the

results of teacher’s performance of a huge number of

generalized professional functions are assessed according to

average indicators – “all about everything” [10]. At the same

time the analysis excludes procedural part of teacher’s

performance, creative tendencies and abilities [11, 12].

That’s why for creative certification of a teacher it is more

reasonable to use as a basis for formation of requirements to its

result evidence – definitions of labor activities according to the

professional standards for Teachers, School counselor, Sports

coach. The concept considers basic definitions of labor

activities according to the professional standard for Teachers.

It is commonly known that a talent, as well as a pedagogical

talent, has a focus and cannot be equally expressed in different

spheres of activity of a Physical training teacher and a Sports

coach [13]. That’s why we propose a system of creative

certification of teachers, by analogy to the existing system for

representatives of creative professions, health workers, beauty

professionals etc. [14]. The justification of implementing such

As the table shows, the two procedures don’t duplicate each

other, on the contrary, they harmonize the teacher’s activity

professional path, and to choose the appropriate practice base

for the desired function.

2. Internship in the practice mode in the chosen center

with completion of detailed tasks on teacher’s functions at the

work place. Clinical practice bases are also related to such type

of centers.

2]. That’s why for creative certification of teachers we defined

contemporary directions of professional activity of teachers and

sports coaches, and also specified the content of labor activities

constituting this direction [25]. The need in such a procedure

and its task both for a teacher and an employer were studied

during the research work. Their opinions are correlated and are

shown in table 2 in the form of rating by the level of

significance growth of components of such a procedure.

As the table shows, certification, like any successful

activity, shall provide for three consequently implemented

components. The first component, knowledgeable, provides the

required information to a certification applicant on the

nomination sought and the ways to transfer this information to

practice activities. As a rule, such activity is performed by

postgraduate courses and other supplementary education

courses. At this stage of certification the given knowledge is

general, ensuring inclusion of the subject into the problematic

field of the activity object. The result of such education

becomes completion of tasks in a class, in the form of texts or

creative tasks. The expression of individual tendencies and

abilities of the applicant to the certified sphere is quite limited

on this stage.

The second component – activity. It is a pity when after

receipt of the required information a teacher is included into the

new professional pedagogical activity only hypothetically, in a

case-mode, in a form of a business or organizational game. At

the same time it not necessarily happens that a teacher becomes

ready to implement the knowledge received into the daily

practice. That is why the authors of the study developed a

system of internship centers for students and professionals in

the sphere of physical training and sports.

The indicated directions are implemented within

Bachelor’s degree programs. Internship centers within Master’s

degree programs, as a rule, perform the function of a research

base of a professional personally-significant problem of a

Master’s degree student, who chose this Master’s degree profile

to find a solution of such a problem. In the system of continuing

professional education internship centers perform the functions

of focused controllable inclusion of knowledge on a certain

professional function into the process of practice activity. In

this case the teacher-mentor tracks procedural characteristics of

the activity related to acmeological striving of the teacher-

intern for improvement of professional skills, and to certain

skills, which the intern shows in performing of labor functions

in accordance with the technological chart of the certified

nomination [26, 27]. As a result of the internship the teacher-

mentor gives an expert conclusion to the teacher-intern on the

shown labor skills and activities.

The third stage – approbation, starts after receipt of the

expert conclusion and lasts within a certain time required for

receipt of a positive result in the main activity of the certified

nomination:



Period of preparation and implementation of a social

project in the sphere of physical training.

Period of developing and arranging activity of a school

educative technology and confirming its effectiveness etc.

At the same time, the time period shall be defined

depending on the nomination based on the recommendation of

the teacher-mentor. On this stage objective activity results are

evaluated with presentation of required documents, reports etc.

In the educational process of a higher education institution

the internship centers are implemented in two directions:

Express inclusion of students into performance of

certain labor functions to get the idea of how diversified the

teacher’ functions are and to make a conscious choice of a

The fourth stage – resultative. On this stage the committee

consisting of representatives of the educational institution from

the Department of education of a corresponding level, teacher-

master in the sphere and representatives of continuing

professional education system, gives a conclusion on the issue

of a corresponding certificate with indication of its expiry date.

The conclusion is based on the approbation results, the

certificate received after information preparation, as well as on

the internship practice for the nomination. Such certificates can

be useful for a teacher both for filling the portfolio, and its

presentation to new subjects of educational activity, and also as

a basis for reconsideration of the contract terms. The indicated

certification components are implemented during passing of the

following process chart by the intern:

due to the teacher’s certification;

In order to develop the content of creative certificates of

advanced course taking into account the quickly changing

conditions of educational activity, several groups of the mostly

significant labor functions of a contemporary teacher were

identified. The functions are presented as a set of labor

activities according to the labor standard “Teacher” in precise

compliance with the labor market needs. We also indicated the

competences which ensure the successful fulfillment of these

functional liabilities. Taking into account that the

contemporary labor function has several implementation

variants in different educational organizations, in different

pedagogical conditions and processes, each function has been

presented by several nominations.
