INTEGRATION OF THE REGIONAL COMPONENT OF ETHNOCULTURAL FOCUS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION INTO THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM: HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE

Abstract

The article examines a problem of introducing an ethnocultural component into physical education at the higher education level, addressing theoretical and methodological issues. It establishes that this approach is the subject of scientific research, but the conceptual pedagogical foundations and technological mechanisms have not been sufficiently studied, structured, and substantiated. Information and methodological training for future professional activity as a teacher at the regional level is necessary, ensuring a practice-oriented focus on the content of higher physical education. In the intellectual and cognitive activities of future teachers, particular emphasis is placed on expanding their knowledge and value system toward science and those involved in it, their own independent work, self-education, and the scientific organization of work.
