Abstract
The article describes the criteria, indicators and levels of formation of the natural science competence of future specialists in physical therapy and ergotherapy in the process of professional training in a modern higher education institution. A number of criteria have been proposed, including: personal and motivational, cognitive, integration and content, information and communication, operational and activity, health-preserving and professional and reflective. For each criterion, a number of indicators and levels (elementary, basic, sufficient and creative) of the formation of future specialists' natural science competence are identified. The personal and motivational criterion assesses the formation of motives for studying natural science disciplines, attitudes towards them, and the presence of a motivational attitude towards professional rehabilitation activities. The integration and content criterion is aimed at assessing the degree of mastery of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge in the field of natural science disciplines, as well as the formation of integrated knowledge about the nature and content of professional natural science activities of a future specialist in physical therapy and occupational therapy. The operational-activity criterion is characterised by such indicators as the formation of skills and abilities to perform professional tasks using natural science knowledge and the ability to self-education. The information and communication criterion involves mastering the methods of obtaining information in accordance with hypotheses, developing the ability to develop and use modern hardware and software in the process of performing professional functions, creating arrays of empirical data, processing various information sources, as well as the ability to work with respondents and cooperate with colleagues in the course of professional activities. The health-preserving criterion is used to assess the orientation of the future specialist's professional activity towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle, preserving and restoring the health of others, the level of the student's knowledge of health-preserving technologies and the formation of a health-preserving professional environment. The professional reflexive criterion allows to assess the ability of future specialists to understand and determine the level and effectiveness of their own natural science training, the ability to self-regulation, self-development and self-improvement, the ability to consciously control the results of their activities, determine the level of their own development and the dynamics of personal growth
