Training of specialists in physical rehabilitation in the context of digitalization of higher education

Abstract

The scientific research highlights the peculiarities of using digital potential in the programs of teaching physical rehabilitation in higher education. It is noted that due to the ongoing military operations in Ukraine, the need for rehabilitation specialists will only grow, therefore the educational system should intensify the training of specialists in the required field of knowledge. It is possible to achieve the required level of training of physical rehabilitation specialists under the condition of operational and integration of innovative training programs that are focused on the active use of digital potential. Rehabilitation is interpreted as a complex process that requires the use of synergistic approaches that form appropriate theoretical and methodological guidelines in educational strategies. The physical rehabilitation cluster combines human-dimensional and technological-organizational components. Digital skills for physical rehabilitation specialists are already established in the competency paradigm of these educational specialties. It is noted that the status of digital skills in educational training in physical rehabilitation is gradually transforming, moving from the soft-skills segment to the fundamental characteristics of professional competencies.
