Summary In a theoretical essay authors have conducted an analysis of the papers by one of the most significant theoreticians and practitioners of methodology of physical education in Serbia, full-time professor Milivoje Matić, PhD. Four publications by this author found themselves to be the focus of the analysis: “Physical Education Class” (1978), “Axiological and Methodological Bases of Revalorization of Physical Movement-Exercise” (1982), “Physical Education - Introduction to Expert and Theoretical Improvement” (1990) and “General Theory of Physical Culture” (2005). With the application of theoretical analysis and content analysis of said books, and relying on theoretical conceptions of leading theoreticians and philosophers, authors have interpreted the potential contribution of Milivoje Matić to the theory and practice of physical education, as well as to the general theory of physical culture. “Matić's Methodics of Morals”, modelled on Kant's deontological ethics theory can be considered an original contribution to the theory and practice of physical education. In the area of general theory of physical culture Milivoje Matić has elevated the theory of physical culture to the level of philosophical contemplation by introducing elements of philosophical thinking into theoretical discussions, which is his original contribution to the development of the general theory of physical culture.

Summary A definition of physical culture highlights knowledge OF and FOR physical exercise, which enables transformation of personality from what it is into what it can be. This true in itself – that physical culture employs knowledge to achieve it, hides an array of its possibilities. This knowledge can certainly be of various levels and courses and based on different systems of values. And when knowledge is based on different systems of values, then the transformation of personality – from the real into the possible level can develop in one or the other direction that is, in a positive or a negative direction. At a time when money is a measure of everything, one can readily choose the wrong side in which, according to neoliberalism – everything is allowed. There is no place for orthodox Christian ethics in such environment. This is why we wish to remind you that a lack of orthodox Christian ethics in the science and the profession emerging from the science and supported by global ideas which like a tsunami tear down foundations of civilizational values can lead to worrysome collapse of these basic values. Man would lose most from this collapse. Indeed, our profession is focused on man and his bodily movements – exercise. Therefore, theory and practice of physical culture must be supported by orthodox Christian ethics. In theory, it can be found in theo-anthropocentrism whereas it is an open book in the practice of physical education, sports and recreation; the situation is different. It is because of this diversity that we will look at different approaches both in theory and practice of physical culture.

The article reveals the content of education of independence of cadets and students in the process of physical education and focuses on the relevance of the problem in modern pedagogical theory and practice. The essence and content of the concept of «independence» in psychological and pedagogical literature is analyzed and an attempt is made to define independence as a moral and volitional quality of a person, which is characterized by a set of knowledge, skills and abilities and a person’s attitude to activity and its results; the ability to achieve goals, act consciously, show initiative and creativity. The article indicates that in solving the problems of upbringing the independence of cadet-student youth in the process of physical education, the following methods were effective: competition, personal example, solving problem situations, dialogue, persuasion, creating situations of success and others. In addition, effective educational conditions for the studied phenomenon have been determined: compliance of the content of physical culture lessons with the goal and the established tasks; readiness of cadets and students to perform independent tasks related to future professional activities; the ability of students to show the best individual and personal qualities aimed at achieving the goal. We believe that the education of the independence of cadet students in higher education institutions should be aimed at forming motives to engage in physical culture, improving professional and applied skills, physical development and physical fitness. Due to the analysis of scientific literature, generalization of own experience and the carried-out experiment it is established that efficiency of education of independence of cadet-student youth in the course of employment by physical culture depends on the decision of the corresponding educational problems and use by teachers of the corresponding maintenance. Key words: education of independence, cadets and students, physical education, independence.
