    Промените во сите сегменти на општественото живеење во изминатите години резултираа со бројни промени во сегментот на образованието. Денешното современо општество е општество базирано на знаења. Оттука, стекнувањето на знаењата во процесот на иницијалното образование, различните форми на формално и неформално образование и афирмација на концептот на доживотно учење се едни од основните определби во сите образовни реформи. Сите тие актуелизираат улогата на наставникот како носител на воспитно – образовниот процес и севкупниот воспитно – образовен систем, односно прашањето за компетенциите на наставникот на „новото време“. Во трудот се презентирани основните професионални компетенции на наставниците, анализирани од аспект на наставникот по ФЗО

The survey was conducted applying 33 motor test used for estimation of nine motor abilities (coordination, speed, frequency of movement, explosive, repetitive and static strength, balance, flexibility and preciseness). The structure of motor space was determined using factor analysis – promax procedure. According to the results obtained in the research and applied factor analysis, the motor space of seven year old children (second grade pupils) was defined with following ten latent dimensions: preciseness with throwing objects with hand, speed with change of direction or agility, static strength, factor for precise and explosive movements, coordinated fast movements with legs and trunk, repetitive strength, frequency of movement with legs, balance and two undefined factors (F9 and F10). Analyses of PE curriculum for second grade was focused on thematic union, PE contents, general goals as well as motor abilities need for realization of suggested contents. Results for determined structure of motor space of seven year old children was used as a foundation for determination of compatibility between children's real abilities and current PE curriculum.

    COVID 19 changed our reality and affected all aspects of our life. Education was no exception. The process of education at all levels was interrupted and later significantly changed by transferring to distance learning and online teaching. At some points, universities were already involved in some segments of use of technology in their everyday work before the pandemic. Yet, some aspects, like practical teaching and students’ practice, were significantly changed. Such significant changes happened at Teaching faculties where future teachers for pre–school education and primary school are educated. A special challenge was the adaptation of Methodics of different subjects and specially Methodics of Physical education. This is mainly due to the importance of practical exercises in frames of PE as well as realization of teaching practices and methodical practice in schools that is obligatory for future teachers. This work gives an overview of the main approaches that were applied when it comes to online teaching of Methodics of PE. The presentation involves several examples of good practice, approaches that were applied and the manners how they were implemented in the program.
