[Third year University' School of Physical Education in Wroclaw student's opinion about their arrangement to health teacher role].
In 1999 in Poland we witnessed a change in the concept of physical education (from biotechnological to pedagogic). The change like this obliges the teacher to perform various roles (health teacher, recreation teacher, sports teacher and mobile behaviours esthetics teacher). However, in practice, the reform of the education system was not preceded by previous alterations in the students' education--the education of future teachers. The aim of our research was to collect students' opinions with regard to the evaluation of the particular courses (subjects) which are realised in the course of studies taking into account their usefulness for the future role of a health teacher. The research was conducted in May 2005 and it comprised the students of The University School of Physical Education in Wroclaw who graduated from the first degree studies (100 women and 100 men - 81,6% of III year students). In order to gather the material we employed the technique of a survey questionnaire with the use of a tool composed by ourselves. It turned out that the examined students declared that the three year long studies equipped them, in the first place, with the necessary information and skills which are useful for their roles of sports teachers and recreation teachers. Their theoretic preparation for the role of health teachers was assessed as only satisfactory, whereas their practical preparation was assessed as unsatisfactory (insufficient). This proves that without introducing changes in the programme of education of the future teachers it will not be possible to make any real changes of aims and tasks of physical education assumptions in the Polish schools.
