Aim of the research: to explore the possibility of building professional competence of physical culture educa- tors in higher education institutions.Methods and organization of the research: theoretical modeling, interpretation, survey and diagnostic meth- ods, expert assessment, observation, pedagogical experiment, mathematical processing of research outcomes. The study involved 30 teachers of the Department of physical education and sports and coaching staff in Ka- zan State University of architecture and civil engineering. At first, we selected the tools and methodology of the study. Secondly, we designed a competency development model for physical culture educators in higher education institutions. The third step included experimental research on building professional competence of educators with consideration of the developed model.Research results: At the beginning of the experiment, we identified the professional competence baseline for the educators in the control and experimental groups. Building competence of teachers in the control group was carried out by means of advanced training courses on the «standard» program. The program included lec- tures and seminars on various program modules. The course was terminated with a final certification project on the selected topic. Teachers in the experimental group participated in the professional development pro- gram based on the competency development model. At the end of training, we re-identified previously studied indicators and compared the data. The results of the study revealed that the level of professional competence of teachers in the experimental group had considerably increased relative to the control group.Conclusion. The results of the study demonstrated that «standard» professional development programs avail- able in higher education institutions are not enough for effective teaching competence enhancement. It is essential to have a special training technology, which is implemented in the developed educational model of teaching competence enhancement.
