The paper presents the definition of quality of life and its relationship with sustainable development. The paper analyses and compares the indicators of quality of life in Lithuania with other countries. A quality of life is an explicit or implicit policy goal. Various measurements and indicators to evaluate a quality of life were proposed during the recent years however there are no widely accepted objective indicators of quality of life able to compare countries. Sustainable development concept proposes new approach to measure quality of life. Therefore the aim of sustainable development is to increase quality of life. Quality of life can be addressed in terms of people health, the state of economy, employment, infrastructure development, crime and environment. All these indicators are interrelated as economic development creates preconditions to maintain public health, develop social and technical infrastructure, to increase employment, to ensure quality of environment, to tackle with crime etc. From the other point of view healthy and satisfied with the quality of life nation have positive impact on stable economic growth.

Defining quality of life is a difficult task as it is a subjective and personal experience. However, for the elderly, this definition is necessary for making complicated healthcare-related decisions. Commonly these decisions compare independence against safety or longevity against comfort. These choices are often not made in isolation, but with the help of a healthcare team. When the patient’s concept of quality of life is miscommunicated, there is a risk of harm to the patient whose best interests are not well understood. In order to bridge this gap in understanding and unite seniors with their caretakers as a cohesive team, we need to establish a definition of quality of life. In this paper, my personal experiences with the elderly will be analysed along with five essays on the topic of ageing. These sources provide clear evidence that quality of life for seniors is majorly determined by the ability to preserve one’s lifelong identity. When making difficult decisions in geriatric healthcare, this greater understanding of the determinants of life quality will allow treatments to best serve the elderly. Defining quality of life allows healthcare providers to shift the focus from minimising disability toward maximising ability. I believe this shift would provide seniors with better health outcomes and properly enhance the quality of their years.

The Subject

The courses «physical education» and «increasing sportsmanship» are an important part of the entire process of preparing future primary school teachers for physical education. It is worth noting that the subject «physical education» should be professionally directed, because it is recommended to transform this course from a purely practical direction into a vocational and pedagogical one, introducing into «physical education» - theoretical, methodological, organizational and pedagogical blocks. The subject «physical education» addresses the tasks of improving the level of physical fitness and improving the quality of vocational and pedagogical training of students. The study of the subject «physical education» provides, in addition to solving the problems of strengthening the health and physical development of students, as well as mastering the technique of certain sports, the methods for teaching individual exercises of the school curriculum, methodological techniques, methods for organizing educational activities and the methodology of the chosen sport. Practical classes on the «theory and methods of physical education» provide for the formation of professional preparedness as a holistic state of certain realities. Examples of the restoration of various forms of out-of-class work in accordance with their functions in the general education system indicate the possibility of ensuring the versatile development of motor qualities of pupils, promoting the preservation and strengthening the mental and physical health of children of all age groups. Considering what has already been said, we propose the formation of professional qualities among students of the faculty for the training of primary school teachers to be held in physical education classes with a sports orientation.

Introduction: One of the approaches to improve life quality in a residential complex is by modifying them properly to an educationalpublic space. An educational public space is consisted of three factors: individual, community and physical space, the importantfactor in these environments are, the proper individual and general education and respecting the natural or artificial surroundings. Basedon the probabilistic approach, an environment can have a direct impact on an individual. An environment can teach us cultural,moral and social values. The purpose of this study is to identify the criteria for designing educating public spaces in a residentialcomplex to improve the environmental quality. Therefore, the qualitative data was collected with the help of library documentsin two categories: Residential Satisfaction Factors and Educational Public Spaces Criteria. Then, both groups were adapted based oncontent validity and a questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. The questionnaires were distributed among the architectureprofessors, according to the Delphi method. SPSS 18 software was used to analyze the quantitative data to prioritize and correlate thecriteria and micro criteria for designing educational public spaces in the residential complex. The results indicate that among all of thecriteria for an educational public space, safety is more important than other criteria, in a residential complex, the top five criteria areas follows: health and safety, aesthetics, social -cultural interactions, and national-local identity. Therefore, it can be concluded that byapplying the micro criteria of the aforementioned criteria in the communal spaces of residential complexes, the quality of residentialenvironment can be improved.
