Background and Study Aim. The aim of the research is to investigate the efficiency of designed complexes of training exercises aimed to improve the coordination abilities of qualified athletes in fencing. Material and Methods. 22 qualified athletes specializing in fencing aged from 15 to 18 took part in the research. The study design included the sequential pedagogical experiment that was realized through the several stages. At the first stage, the preliminary testing of the athletes’ coordination abilities (n=22) was conducted. During the preliminary testing the following tests were applied: jumps to the line; shuttle run (4x9 m.); T-test, straight touch from en-garde position to the target of 10 cm in diameter from close range (10 attempts); straight lunge attack from en-garde position to the target of 10 cm (10 attempts). At the second stage of the pedagogical experiment two complexes of exercises aimed at developing the coordination abilities of the athletes were applied for 3 months. The experimental complexes of exercises were used twice a week. At the third stage, the efficiency of experimental complexes aimed at the developing of coordination abilities of qualified athletes in fencing was checked through a control testing. The Statistica 10 software created by the StatSoft Company was used for statistical processing of data. Results. It was established that during the process of coordination abilities development, the greatest attention should be given to the athletes’ ability to control timing, spatial and physical parameters of moves and moves consistency. To improve the process of developing the coordination abilities of the qualified athletes in fencing two complexes of training exercises were developed. The results of the pedagogical experiment confirmed the statistical differences in the levels of the athletes’ coordination abilities manifestation before and after using experimental training complexes (p<0.05). Conclusions. It has been shown that specially developed training complexes could be used during the training process in order to develop and increase the level of coordination abilities of qualified athletes in fencing. The analysis of experts’ opinion showed that the development of coordination abilities in fencing should be oriented towards the development of athletes’ ability to control timing, spatial and physical parameters of movements.
Introduction Shift of priorities and social values in today's society leads to the need for constant improvement of educational process in higher education institutions. The experts note (Bystrova Yu.V., 2015; Gladush V.A. & Lysenko G.I., 2014; Naul R., Binder D., Ivanenko G., 2019) that the outdated practices prevail in today’s practical activity of higher educational specialized institutions, the ideas of democratization are not sufficiently implemented. The main problems in the development of higher education institutions are student low motivation to acquire knowledge and drop in attendance. This situation necessitates rethinking of the principles, functions and technologies of managing specialist training in Physical Culture and Sports and, thereupon, develops new approaches to the organization of the pedagogical process in a higher education institution. The analysis of special scientific and methodological literature indicates that today the ways of integration of the Olympic education into the school educational process have been extensively revealed (Armor K, Dagkas S., 2012), the educational potential of the Olympic movement has been elucidated (Bulatov M. & Platonov V., 2018), the importance of integrating Olympic education into the specialist training in Physical Culture and Sports (Radchenko LO, 2016), the activity peculiarities of the Olympic Studies Centers operating as part of the specialized higher education institutions of Ukraine (Zagitova & Radchenko, 2019) have been disclosed, whereas the problem of improving the educational process by integrating Olympic education into the educational process of higher education institutions remains a pressing scientific matter. Today’s educational requirements include the training of highly qualified specialists who are able to integrate the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired at a higher educational institution into an integral system effectively used in their professional activities. In order to successfully realize personal educational potential of future specialists in Physical Culture and Sports, the development conditions of the qualities such as criticism and non-standard thinking, the ability to produce new ideas and work in a team, etc., must be created. Such tasks are facilitated by the use of interactive learning technologies in the educational process. The working hypothesis is that the use of interactive learning technologies in the study of Olympic education related issues will improve the efficiency of student educational process in higher education institutions preparing future specialists in Physical Culture and Sports. Aim of the Study: to provide the rationale for the use of interactive learning technologies while implementing the Olympic education into the student educational process. Material and methods. Research participants: 12 experts – members of the Olympic Academy of Ukraine, having more than 15 years of pedagogic experience at higher educational institutions, holding managerial positions at sphere-specific educational establishments. 69 students from 8 study groups of the 4th year at the National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport, who major in 0.17 ‘Physical Education and Sport’. Organization of research. The first step was to determine experts’ opinion on the necessity to introduce Olympic education in the student training process. The next step of the study was to determine the educational process efficiency according to I.S. Todorova (Todorova I.S& Pavlenko V.I. 2011). This method employs that the respondents need to answer 20 questions that allow to determine the educational activity efficiency ratio, namely: total educational activity efficiency, motivational subsystem efficiency, operational subsystem efficiency, information subsystem efficiency, and regulatory subsystem efficiency. The level of educational activity efficiency is determined by the quality points earned after calculation. The study was conducted in two cohorts: the 1st cohort is students of the Coach Faculty, and the 2nd cohort is students of the Sport and Management Faculty. Two surveys were undertaken. The first survey was conducted before studying the Olympic Sports. The second one took place in the end of the educational course ‘Olympic Sports’. In this paper, such methods as the analysis of literary sources, synthesis and generalization were used to define interactive learning technologies, the use of which helps to enhance the integration of aspects of the Olympic education into the overall educational process. The application of those methods allowed to develop the content and guidelines for the use of the above-mentioned technologies. Statistical analysis. Statistical processing of the data was performed using the Excel 2010 spreadsheet editor (Microsoft, USA, 2010), the average was used. Results: the expediency of Olympic education implementation in the student educational process was studied; the interactive learning technologies that will facilitate the educational process efficiency among the Physical Culture and Sports future specialists were elucidated; the efficiency of the interactive learning technologies in the Olympic education implementation was disclosed. Conclusions: the interactive learning technologies that will felicitate the creation of a highly-qualified specialist in Physical Culture and Sports, namely: interactive cooperative learning technologies (pairwork, trio rotation, ‘Carousel’, ‘Aquarium’); group learning technologies (‘Brainstorming’, "Decision Tree’, ‘World Café’); situational modeling technologies (‘Six Hats Method’, business games); argument technologies (‘The PRESSING Method,’ ‘What? Where? When? How?’ debates, etc.); and methodological materials for the students of higher educational institutions of Ukraine were produced, based upon this technology data. The use of interactive learning technologies when integrating Olympic education permits to increase the educational process efficiency and helps to improve student motivation to acquire knowledge.
Introduction. Maturity of personality, their inner world plays a substantial role in health development. For a reason, following the definition by the World Health Organization spirituality is one of human health components. Still, the level of personal maturity of an adult does not always comply with their age and can be lower. Aim is to determine the levels of personal maturity (internal development) of the humanitarian university students and to identify the peculiarities of their distribution depending on gender, duration of studying, specialty, confession of faith, and attitude to religion. Material and methods. 207 students of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, average age of the surveyed 19.46 ± 2.12. There were 105 males (50.7%), and 102 females (49.3%). For determination of the levels of personal maturity the questionnaire by Jose Stevens was implemented. There were 5 levels specificated: «baby», «junior», «teen», «young man/woman», and «adult». Results. Among the humanitarian university students of the specialties «physical therapy, ergotherapy» and «physical education and sports», in 62.8% (130/207) cases high levels of personal maturity were identified, in 32.4% (67/207) cases there were low levels. Among one fifth of the students (19.8%; 41/207) the combinations of several levels of personal maturity were identified. It was indicative of the youth’s failure to having an integral idea of their inner world and spirituality. The female students were more internally developed than the male ones, which was indicative of statistically substantial predominance of high levels of personal maturity among them — 66.7%; 68/102 (among the males — 48.6%; 51/105). Ideas of personal maturity among the senior students (the 4th and 5th years of studies) were more accomplished than the ones of the junior students (the 1st and 2nd years of studies). Following religious traditions both by the holders of religious beliefs and not, led to development of higher levels of personal maturity compared to those students not following religious traditions. Conclusions. One third of the humanitarian university students have low level of personal maturity (internal development). According to the level of personal maturity, females prevail over males. The students following religious traditions (the holders of religious beliefs and not) are more internally developed than those not following such traditions.
Introduction. Modern taekwondo is a relatively young sport, occupies a special place in martial arts as an Olympic sport.
