The Formation оf theoretical knowledge of students in the discipline of "Physical Education" in the process of professional and applied physical training
Abstract
Relevance. The analysis of literature testifies about the authors' opinion on the direct relationship between physical health indicators and indicators of theoretical knowledge of physical education. The authors emphasize that students prefer to perform tasks from other disciplines which, in their opinion, are more important and significant for obtaining profession al education than physical education. The research task is to systematize the results of practical experience regarding the ways of providing theoretical information on physical culture in the practice of physical education of students and to determine the level of theoretical knowledge of students of the "Musical Art" specialty. Research Results. Nowadays, students' youth do not see the need to acquire knowledge of physical education. There arises a problem of finding innovative ways of providing theoretical information on physical culture and raising the level of theoretical knowledge of students in thisfield. There was conducted the estimation of theoretical knowledge of students of the "Musical Art" specialty and used a questionnaire of 24 questions that contained 4 answers. The students of the 1st and 2nd years (boys and girls) were devided into groups according to the levels of theoretical knowledge: low, medium and adequate. Conclusions. The conducted analysis of the literature and the data of the recording experiment became a prerequisite for the development of the information and methodological project "Symphony of Health", that will create real opportunities to enhance the theoretical training of students through the use of innovative and interactive means of providing theoretical information and the control of knowledge assessment. Prospects for further research will be related to the implementation of the informational and methodological project "Symphony of Health" in the process of physical education of students of the "Musical Art" specialty. The applied interactive teaching methods will be aimed at forming theoretical knowledge, increasing the motivation to cognitive activity and physical education lessons.
