THE DOMAIN, THE COMPETENCES AND THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Abstract

The professional training, in physical education is about acquisitions regarding the cognitive,
practical, emotional, social, moral, esthetic etc dimension. The cognitive dimension represents the support
for the other acquisitions and regards mental processes like perception, representation, memory, reason,
decision and problem solving, which influence the other dimensions of the human personality. In order to
develop his/her human personality, in all its complexity, the human being must be motivated. Motivation as a
„state that energizes the behavior and offers it a direction” (Atkinson & Hilgard, 2005, page 507), constitutes
the desire manifested in a conscious manner that has special influences in professional training. As all of the
nervous processes, motivation is formed based on the knowledge that determines the social, cultural, sportive
etc aspiration. The process of forming the professional competences can be influenced by the motivations
created in the consciousness of the subjects (students, master students, doctoral candidates etc.) following the
knowledge and understanding of the training process. The student enlists in a faculty to acquire competences,
of which he/she can dispose at the moment of starting an activity, whether it is educational, recovery,
instructional, leadership etc. At a national and international level, the professional competences are formed
through the accomplishment of the objectives that can assure training capacities of teaching-learning, of
leading and monitoring, of behavior, evaluative through the disciplines comprised in the specific syllabus of
the curriculum and training levels.
