Discusses the issue of developing professional skills of future physical education teachers. The following skills have been identified as some of the most important in the modern profession of a physical education teacher: communication skills, methodological skills (the ability to differentiate using various means). physical education, the ability to rationally use lesson time, the ability to develop a lesson structure and adhere to it), the ability to predict possible dangers. Based on a study of existing physical education teachers, methods for determining and a scale for assessing these professional skills have been developed. Particular attention is paid to the substantiation of pedagogical conditions aimed at developing these skills within the framework of professional training. Two pedagogical conditions were identified as the most important: updating the content of professional training of future physical education teachers on the basis of an integration approach and the orientation of teaching practice towards solving complex educational, recreational and educational tasks. A pedagogical experiment was conducted, during which the effectiveness of the implementation of pedagogical conditions in the field of developing professional skills of future physical education teachers was proven. The participants of the pedagogical experiment were junior and senior students of higher educational institutions preparing to become physical education teachers. For all professional skills, there was a positive trend in their improvement. The greatest improvement was achieved in the formation of methodological skills and the ability to predict potential dangers (at the p ≤ 0.01 level). At a level of p ≤ 0.05, an improvement in communication skills was achieved in the experimental group. Reforming higher and secondary education, integration processes, and the introduction of new information technologies into the educational process require trained, highly qualified teachers with a new type of thinking, capable of generating original ideas, making bold and non-standard decisions, and solving complex problems. specialized tasks and practical issues in the field of education.
