A multi-level approach to implementing health promotion in education: european and ukrainian experience

In accordance with legislation and modern approaches to health preservation in institutions from preschool to higher education, the priority is to shape the personality of future teachers by instilling moral values, social activity, responsibility, a healthy lifestyle, the ability to think freely and self-organise in modern educational conditions in participants in the educational process. Therefore, the heads of educational institutions are faced with the problem of creating the necessary conditions for the organisation of a modern innovative digital space, strengthening the sports and health base, creating appropriate conditions for health improvement, for mass sports, and for holding organisational, educational, scientific, sports, health and other events to promote a culture of health preservation and adherence to a healthy lifestyle among teachers. The purpose of the article is to develop components and indicators of the formation of a health-saving culture among future preschool educators, as well as to develop methods for forming a health-saving culture among future preschool educators in an innovative digital space. A multi-level approach to health promotion in education is a key tool for building a healthy society. European experience shows that systematic work at all levels yields positive results. Ukraine has the potential to implement similar models, but needs deeper integration of international practices, state support and active community participation. In order to determine the levels of health-saving culture among future preschool teachers, the results of the monitoring study were summarised and statistical analysis methods were used. The formation of a health-saving culture among future preschool educators consists of the following components: cognitive-informational, motivational-value, activity-creative, and evaluative-reflective. Based on the identified components and indicators, the levels of health-saving culture formation among future preschool teachers are characterised as follows: high level (in-depth knowledge of health, health-saving technologies and digital hygiene, strong motivation for a healthy lifestyle, active use of health-saving technologies and digital tools, high reflectivity); satisfactory level (sufficient knowledge, but selective use of health-saving technologies and digital tools in the process of developing original health-saving programmes, unstable motivation, ability to correct one's activities to preserve and strengthen health, level of self-reflection development); low level (insufficient knowledge, weak motivation, unsystematic use of health-saving methods and digital tools, low reflectivity, lack of guidance on correcting one's activities to preserve and strengthen health, level of self-reflection development). Originality: a methodology for forming a culture of health preservation among future preschool educators has been developed. The formation of a culture of health preservation among higher education students was carried out using the innovative digital space of the university. The statistical significance of positive changes in the formation of a health-saving culture among future preschool teachers after the introduction of the academic discipline ‘Theory and Technology of Valeological Education of Preschool Children’ has been proven.
