Department of Theory and Methodology of Physical Education

“During my studies at the Faculty of Physical Education and Human Health, specifically in the A4.11 program ‘Secondary Education (Physical Education),’ I really enjoyed the atmosphere, which fostered learning and encouraged communication between students and faculty. My time at my home faculty was the best part of my college years. Competitions, hiking trips, and practical classes—all of this made a significant contribution to my professional development as a physical education teacher. What I remember most is the ease of interaction with the faculty and the department leadership. Thank you to the entire faculty and staff of the department and the school, who gave me a vast theoretical foundation of knowledge! Each of them, throughout my entire time there, became not only a professional mentor to me, but also a good friend!”  

“What could be better than being a TEACHER? By choosing the ‘Physical Education Teacher’ major, I was following my dream. Studying at the Department of Physical Education and Health Fundamentals allowed me to fully experience an atmosphere of friendship and mentorship. When I arrived here, I immediately sensed the potential of this program, as the well-trained faculty deliver high-quality instruction and are committed to helping us become the future of our country. The faculty helped me grow both professionally and personally. It was the department’s faculty, through their dedicated work, who shaped me into a professional in the field of physical education, which inspired me to continue growing. I am very glad that I chose this major back then, because I truly love my job! It’s a profession that offers great opportunities!”

“I enrolled in the A4.11 program, ‘Secondary Education (Physical Education),’ after studying at the Pedagogical College of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University. Studying at the department gave me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of my chosen field, broaden my horizons in the field of education, and try my hand at research. The open and sincere attitude of the faculty toward us allowed us to combine our studies with athletic training. The friendly atmosphere within the group made difficult situations easier to handle and enriched student life with interesting events. A significant advantage of studying at the department is the high level and broad range of new knowledge that students acquire during their studies. This enables them to work in their primary field of specialization when choosing a career later on. My participation in the Chernivtsi Yuriy Fedkovych National University volleyball team and daily training sessions gave me the opportunity to improve my athletic performance and opened doors for further realization of my potential. It was during my time at the university that I joined the Super League team “Galichanka-TNEU-GADZ” (Ternopil). Although I had the opportunity to change educational institutions, I decided without hesitation to continue my studies at my alma mater. I would like to thank the faculty of the department for the theoretical and practical foundation I received.”

“While studying at Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University in the A4.11 program, ‘Secondary Education (Physical Education),’ I gained a comprehensive theoretical foundation and practical skills that I can apply in my future professional career. I love my university for the most vibrant and unforgettable years of my student life: for the support in bringing creative ideas to life, for the most devoted and best friends, for the solid knowledge, and for the opportunity to participate in forums and student self-government. I would like to thank the faculty of the department for the education I received. All the faculty members are very experienced and masters of their craft! They are always ready to help and strive to share their experience with students. Whenever I had questions, the faculty never refused to support me and did everything they could to help. I can confidently say that my years of study were the best of my life.”
