Modeling the Process of Using Innovative Pedagogical Technologies in Preparing Students’ Professional and Ethical Readiness

The paper is about training the professional and ethical readiness of the students majoring in physical education by means of advanced pedagogical technologies. During the last few years, professional training of future physical education teachers has been concerned not only with formation of physical, methodological and pedagogical skills but also ethical knowledge, professional responsibility and moral capacity to make necessary decisions. Simultaneously, rapid inclusion of digital and cutting-edge educational technologies in HE has had a profound effect on pedagogy within the PE sector. However, current literature on technology-enhanced learning emphasizes technological competency, instructional effectiveness or employability in isolation and pays limited attention to a systematic connection with ethical readiness. The current study aims to fill this gap by engaging in a systematic professional analysis of modern empirical work on innovative pedagogical media in PETE. Recent systematic reviews, quantitative modeling studies on technology influence and process-oriented pedagogical research are reviewed in order to identify the dominant technological tools, educational methodologies and professional outcomes. Given this synthesis, we present a theoretically driven and empirically informed process model. Professional and ethical readiness is regarded as a dynamic, round-up process that includes five interconnected stages: technology selection and integration, instructional competence formation, motivational and affective engagement, professional and ethical reflections, as well as holistic readiness outcomes.
