Metaqualities as the basis of the image of the instructor

of the physical culture

In the recent decades the sphere of physical culture and sport underwent significant changes. Its humanization is one of the leading tendencies. In this connection the requirements for the instructor of physical culture and sport, his image, which is the most powerful lever of action on the students in the process of their interaction in the occupations on the physical culture, has changed. The serious attention is paid to this problem in the department of the physical culture of Stavropol state university. For its solution the problematic group was created. It is directed toward the development of the image of the contemporary instructor of physical culture and his formation in the process of education. It includes the dean of department, instructors and the students. At the present moment the model of the image of the instructor of the physical culture is developed where the personal qualities, the professional scopes personify the means of the contemporary instructor of physical culture.

Image verbatim from English is transferred as “means”, moreover by means is understood not only the visual, visual means (form, appearance), which composes the so-called “external image” of a man, but also means of his thinking, actions, personal qualities, which compose “internal image”. We define “the image of the instructor of physical culture” as the system of the personal of instructor, his pedagogical technology, directed toward the practical realization of the humanistic ideas of the modernization of the sphere of physical culture and sport.

Let us examine the system of the personal qualities, which must be located, in our opinion, in the basis of the image of the contemporary instructor of physical culture. We have designated these qualities as the metaprofessional ones.

Among the metaprofessional qualities of personality we separate assertiveness (from Engl.to assert).

Assertiveness - is the pedagogical contact, which rests on the truly humanistic beginnings, where manipulation, cruelty and aggression are denied.

Assertive behavior allows the instructor:

· to speak out clearly and unambiguously;

· to enter orderly;

· to understand himself/herself and others;

· to avoid manipulation with people;

· in this case to act convincingly.

We consider that taking into account specific character, assertiveness is the important component of the professionalism of the instructor of physical culture. At the same time, assertiveness – is also the adequate estimation of situation, own behavior and the way to self-development.

Facilitation (from “to facilitate”) - is this the ability of the instructor to create the favorable conditions for the maximum physical, intellectual, spiritual development of each student.

Flexibility -is a capability for a constant self-development, without which the improvement of the craftsmanship of the instructor of physical culture is impossible. This quality is especially actual in connection with the processes of the modernization of the system of physical culture and sport. These processes will require the revision of the content of the programs realized by the instructors and the formation of new professional positions from the instructors.

It goes without saying, under the contemporary sociocultural conditions one of the most important metaqualities of the instructor of physical culture is tolerance. In many cultures the concept “tolerance” is the unique synonym “of tolerance” (Lat. - tolerantia - patience; Engl. - tolerance, toleration, Ger. - toleranz, [fran]. - tolerance). In the sphere of the physical culture and sport tolerance will be manifested in the humane relation to the students, which, in view of different reasons, cannot carry out the norms accepted, and need support of the instructor and the humane relation to them.

In connection with the humanization of the sphere of physical culture we should note one more important quality of the instructor of physical culture – “feliksologichnost” (from the the Latin of felix - “happy”, “the carrier happiness”, “bringing happiness”). Physical culture has been always directed toward the realization of recreational function and it must bring a feeling of happiness to all participants. Thus, the instructor of physical culture must personify the harmony of soul and body. His activity must be based on the skill to organize physical and sporting, physical and health-improvement activity of students, which facilitates realization by them the happy essence of every moment of life in the process of occupations by physical culture and sport.

Definition “the image of the instructor of physical culture” has been defined by us as the harmonious totality of external and internal personal, individual and professional qualities, directed toward the practical realization of the humanistic ideas of the modernization of the sphere of physical culture and sport.

Thus, the noticed qualities are system-forming in the image of the contemporary instructor of physical culture. They will make it possible to realize innovation technologies.

These professional positions are considered to be the basis of key scopes and assume the skill to organize the training - educational process This skill is based on the ability to accomplish effective interaction in the process of the mastering of innovation technologies in the sphere of physical culture and sport in the context of humanization of formation system.
