Distinctive features of a study
programme:
1) This study program reveals and helps to implement long-term goals of human education, in which physical, psychological and social development of a person are the main tasks that will help to better understand the purpose of physical education and sports for human relationships, personality and society.
2) An integrated approach to human education allows to combine research areas in which the issues of achievement sports are compatible with the problems of personality development, physical development, readiness for practical activities, social integration, communication and recreation.
3) The subject of e-learning technologies will provide the skills necessary to work in an age of scientific and technological progress, and the knowledge gained will enable you to succeed in an environment that requires collaboration, systemic leadership and resilience in crisis situations.
4) Although Vilnius region is the largest in the country (about 26% of the country's population), it does not have any university higher education institutions that train Physical Education teachers. This program would become exceptional, as there would be an opportunity for physical education teachers to obtain a master's degree in education in Vilnius. This would respond to the needs of the region by contributing to the solution of specific social problems in a multi-ethnic and multicultural region, as future physical education teachers could carry out both formal and non-formal education activities.
5) Close and constructive relations of VMU with Lithuanian and foreign social partners provide students with exceptional opportunities to deepen the competencies necessary for teachers. VMU has signed cooperation agreements not only with Lithuanian formal and non-formal education institutions, but also with non-governmental organizations, sports schools, etc. VMU is a member of international associations (EUA, EAIE, EDEN, AABS, GreenLight, ECOLAS, BSRUN, garagErasmus, etc.). Under bilateral agreements, we cooperate with more than 200 research and study institutions from 42 countries around the world. VMU has more than 330 Erasmus + partners in 50 countries, including physics and health education programs.
6) By merging three universities into a national teacher training center, conditions were created to consolidate scientific and academic staff in Kaunas and Vilnius, applying modern sports infrastructure, laboratory equipment, scientific and methodological resources, to create the best conditions for training masters in Lithuania.
