Conceptual content of the “healthy lifestyle” notion in the programs and activities for the formation of healthy lifestyle, carried out by teachers of preschool education in rural areas

The purpose of the study is to study the content of rural teachers ’ ideas PE a healthy lifestyle, which they broadcast in their work with children. The content analysis method is used to study 50 programs for the formation of a healthy lifestyle, which are being implemented in rural PE. The study showed that theoretical concepts more fully describe the “healthy lifestyle” notion, special attention is paid to the principles of its formation. Practical concepts are concentrated around human physiology, physical activity, sports, hygiene, and tempering. Axiological concepts receive a weak justification. The “healthy lifestyle” notion is revealed by rural teachers exclusively through the enumeration of its components. The unreliability of valeological information in the studied documents makes us doubt the competence of their authors. The nonfunctionality of the existing model of a healthy lifestyle requires additional research in the field ofvaleology, addressing the issue of the role of the worldview in this area, and strengthening the valeological and cultural aspects of teacher training. There is a need to strengthen the educational component aimed at forming ideas about the specifics of the lifestyle, culture and value system of rural and urbanresidents
