Objective of study was to analyze expectations (with their content and structure) as to the physical education specialist training quality at SUSPU. The questionnaire survey data with the content analysis of assays made it possible to profile personal and interpersonal expectations as to the physical education specialist training quality. The questionnaire survey was also designed to rate the physical education specialist competency by their importance levels. Subject to the survey were the 1st and 5th year students (n=150) of the SUSPU Physical Education and Sports Department. The personal and interpersonal expectations rating data were indicative of the respondents’ life goals and potential achievements and, hence, providing an insight to the expectations formation mechanisms and the relevant socio-psychological factors of influence on the expectations in the specific life periods. It is the combinations of the individual values and priorities that create the individual ‘subjectivity’ manifested in the personal choice. When the existential-level control mechanisms are not mature enough, the individual evolves under external influences with the individual adaptation to the environment being limited, and this is the reason why the professional expectations building process is so socially sensitive.

Keywords: physical education, quality management, expectations-driven model.
