title: [The competence of physical education teachers in the health education program].
abstract: The Minister of National Education introduces relevant changes into the content and aims of health education in virtue of the resolution of 23 December 2008 that relates to the essential curricula of pre-school and general education in particular types of schools. Special responsibility for the realization of the health education programme in schools rests, according to the content of the above mentioned document, with the teachers of physical education. Placing physical education teachers in the role of the leading executor of the health education aims in schools induces a reflection on the degree of the teachers'preparation to fulfill such a role. In order to carry out such evaluation it is essential to determine more accurately the scope of competences, which are requisite of an efficient realization of health education in conditions appropriate to school physical education. In the study we work on the characteristics of the subject competences and of the pedagogical competences of the physical education teacher, which are indispensable in the effective realization of the health education programme. As far as the first competences we focus on the knowledge and didactic and organizational skills which a physical education teacher should possess, and as far as the second competences we discuss five categories of competences: moral, praxiological, communicational, creative and informative.
