THE PEDAGOGICAL POTENTIAL OF ACTIVE GAMES IN SHAPING THE PROFESSIONAL CULTURE OF FUTURE PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

The article explores the pedagogical potential of active (movement) games for shaping the professional culture of future physical education teachers. Drawing on a systematic analysis of research literature and regulatory documents, the study describes professional culture as a six-component construct, analyses how the structural features of active games – rules, roles, competition, cooperation and reflection – correspond to these components, and proposes a set of pedagogical conditions and a staged procedure for using active games in pre-service teacher education.
