Introduction. The modern professional field of adaptive physical culture (APC) has a great need for the use of digital technologies for physical rehabilitation and social adaptation of people with health impairments (HI). The relevance of digital transformation of the APC field is due to the possibilities of using remote technologies to provide remote access to a wide range of rehabilitation tools, regardless of location. In addition, there are various software applications and electronic devices that help improve the diagnosis of the functional state of people with OCD and more.
A study of the current practice of using digital tools in the field of physical education allows us to identify specific aspects of their application in this area, which are related to their functionality, focus on specific professional tasks, and orientation towards the special needs of users, including those with health issues [1]. The specific nature of the use of digital tools in physical education determines the structure and content of the related competencies of specialists, as well as the guidelines for their development by students during their university training.
The above-mentioned justifications are strong arguments for the need to develop and implement modern educational models in the process of training personnel in the field of AFC, which are aimed at developing students' knowledge, skills, and abilities to use digital tools in their future profession.
The purpose of this research is to justify the methodological approaches to building a model for developing digital competence in future specialists in the field of AFC.
Research methodology and organization. The research methodology was based on a systematic, integrative, informational, communicative, and competence-based approach to the formation of digital competence in the process of professional training in AFC.
Research results and their discussion. According to the systemic approach, all elements of the process of teaching students digital competencies should be interconnected and ensure its integrity, flexibility, and adaptability in accordance with the changing needs of the AFC for digital skills of specialists. Based on the information approach, didactic tools are selected to promote the continuous development of students' cognitive skills and the continuous updating of their knowledge about digital technologies, information literacy, critical thinking, information culture, and research and communication skills. The competence-based approach allows for the correlation of digital competence with the professional functions performed using digital technologies. This approach uses tools, methods, and forms of training that simulate various professional situations in order to effectively develop the digital skills of future specialists. In the paradigm of the integrative approach, the learning process is implemented in an interdisciplinary manner, promoting the comprehensive development of digital technologies in various subject areas of AFC. The communicative approach in the formation of digital competence of future specialists gives interactivity to the learning process through the use of active learning methods, establishing effective interaction between teachers and students.
Conclusion. The revealed methodological approaches serve as the basis for designing a structural and substantive model of the formation of digital competence of future specialists in AFC, integrating clear learning objectives, interconnected content, effective methods and forms of organizing the learning process, as well as tools for assessing the level of achievement.
