The Necessity to revise the curriculum for physical education and sports at the faculty of naval engineering and driving

Abstract

This paper represents the beginning of extensive research to show whether or not the curriculum of the physical education study object at the Faculty of Naval Engineering complies efficiently with the requirements of physical training of specialists for their successful integration in production after graduation.
The educational process of physical education lessons at the Faculty of Naval Engineering also contributes substantially to the preparation of students for their further adaptability to the conditions and features of any professional activity. However, as demonstrated by the data of our research and of others (Filipescu, 1999; Draganescu, 2000; John, 2003), most graduates do not possess the knowledge, the psychomotor and methodological skills for practising physical education at the level that is often needed at work; the students do not possess also any physical skills within their personality traits, and this further reflects negatively on labour productivity, physical and mental health of any skilled worker.
