Indirect education found and is still finding its source in various media for a long time. Technological advancement results in the educators having an increased ability to use new tools in education. The goal remains the same but the social conditions impose a new identity – the subject teacher evolves into a media one. In the school system, necessary corrections have been introduced to the most important documents and the curricula, but there is still a lack of knowledge on what media education looks like in practice in specific national realities. The review article shows how goals determined by the curricula are already realized through new media in Poland and for which goals the didactic activities should be expanded. In the thematic block concerning physical activity, there is an entry: “The contents of this area have been enriched with modern forms of movement, physical activities from other European countries and use of modern technologies to monitor and plan physical activity” (MEN, 2017: 191). When organizing activities in the classroom area and with the right equipment, conducting lessons with the use of the media is not a problematic task. But are the PE teachers in a similarly comfortable position? It turns out that the development of information technology is conducive to the achievement of the objectives of this subject as well. The literature review and the solutions used so far in the school system are the basis for the thesis of a correlation between the ways in which modern media are used and the formation of the students’ attitudes towards physical culture.
The purpose of the study was to answer 4 research questions: 1. What is the state of health behaviours among female U3A (University of the Third Age) students? 2. What is the sense of coherence among the students of U3As? 3. What is the meaning of the conducted research for health promotion? The study was conducted by means of a diagnostic survey. For the assessment of selected indicators, Juczyński’s Inventory of Health Behaviours and Antonovsky’s Life Orientation Questionnaire were used. The study included 104 female students of universities with varying organisational and legal forms. In each of the 3 U3As, a similar state of health behaviour is maintained, interpreted as average. It has been shown that respondents exhibit a mean sense of coherence. Elderly people received the highest scores in the comprehensibility component, whereas the lowest in the 3 groups tested regarding the meaningfulness component. In research, it has been shown that there is a correlation between the sense of coherence and the pro-health behaviours of the female students.
