Development of creative thinking in the classes of professional future physical education teachers

Abstract

The article is devoted to the actual problem of developing creative thinking in future physical education teachers as a key component of their professional competence. The essence of the concept of ‘creative thinking’ is considered and its importance for successful pedagogical activity in the field of physical education is substantiated. The possibilities of integrating methods and techniques aimed at stimulating students' creative activity into the educational process of professional disciplines are analysed. Specific pedagogical approaches, such as the use of problem situations, group work, game technologies, creative tasks and analysis of innovative practices that contribute to the development of the ability to generate new ideas, find non-standard solutions and individualise the learning process are described. The need to create a favourable learning environment that encourages experimentation and the search for original approaches is emphasised.
