The article analyzes the problem of the need to train highly qualified specialists in pedagogical specialties in the field of health care, who are able to act at the level of the requirements of international professional standards for the formation of a healthy lifestyle.
The article highlights that the regular process of health care for future primary school teachers contributes to the assimilation of new knowledge and skills of both future teachers and primary school students, helps to avoid psychological injuries and professional challenges and to comply with the rules that exist in higher education institutions of Ukraine and Canada.
It was determined that a professional future teacher who works in an elementary school and is engaged in health care activities is a subject of professional activity with a high level of professionalism, self-efficacy, has a professional and social status, is constantly aimed at self-development, personal and professional achievements in the formation of a healthy lifestyle of primary school students.
The purpose of the article is to theoretically analyze the Ukrainian and Canadian experience of introducing health care into the system of professional training of future primary school teachers.
In the result of the analysis of scientific literature dedicated to the problem, we can state that in the process of professional training of future primary school teachers both in Ukraine and in Canada, universities follow directions that have a positive effect on the formation of a healthy lifestyle in general and health care in particular. There is a need to create a platform for the active involvement of educators (students of higher pedagogical institutions and teachers) in the formation of a healthy lifestyle during university studies. It has been proven that there are specific components of healthy lifestyle formation of Ukrainian youth studying at higher education institutions. This field of activity is given attention to in Canadian universities that train primary school teachers.
