The important pre-experimental stage of the research is the difference among the concepts of “professional training”, “professional competence”, “professional preparedness”, “professional (personal) maturity” and “professional skill” in the projection on characteristics of the student's personality, and also the identification of psychological, sociometric and personal data of pupils who will later correct the course of the educational experiment in reference groups. The purpose is to provide theoretical and methodological prove of the current state of pedagogical skills development of future physical education teachers in the process of professional training. The sociological survey, conducted among students and teachers of Mykhailo Kotsyubynskyi Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University for the key question “Which teacher have pedagogical skills?”, made it possible to distinguish several dominants that are expressed by such concepts: knowledge, skills, abilities, experience, extraordinary, approach, personality, development and own example. However, the results of the recording stage of the experiment showed a low level of pedagogical skills development of a future physical education teacher. A number of shortcomings were identified that complicates the pedagogical skills development of a future physical education teacher, including a slight connection between theory and practice; theoretical training of students isn’t interactive; traditional methods of study at HEI; a limited number of manuals and methodological recommendations for highlighting the importance of developing the pedagogical skills of a future physical education teacher and its impact on professional activities; a small number of tasks aimed at developing this personal characteristic. This causes the need to determine and substantiate the pedagogical conditions for the pedagogical skills development of a future physical education teacher, the development of a model.
