A MODEL OF DEVELOPING A HEALTH-PRESERVING CULTURE AMONG FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS DURING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

The article substantiates the relevance of forming a health-preserving culture (HPC) in future primary school teachers as an integrative personal and professional quality necessary for fulfilling the tasks of maintaining and strengthening students’ health. Based on the analysis of domestic and international research, the study identifies the fragmentary nature of existing approaches, which are predominantly focused on cognitive or activity-based aspects of teacher training. The author’s model of HPC formation is presented, comprising four interconnected blocks: target, theoretical-methodological, content-procedural, and evaluative-resultative blocks, which ensure the development of motivational-value, cognitive, activity-related, and reflexive components. The methodological foundation of the model integrates cultural, axiological, competence- and product-oriented, personality-activity, and systemic approaches. The article also specifies organisational and pedagogical conditions that contribute to the implementation of the model: a value-enriched educational environment, practice-oriented training, methodological support, development of reflection, and a monitoring system. The implementation of the model ensures the formation of HPC in future primary school teachers and can be integrated into the system of lifelong teacher education.
