FORMING AXIOLOGICAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AMONG JUNIOR SCHOOLCHILDREN 

The current stage of the development of society requires the consolidation of consciousness around the idea of building a humanistic-oriented, democratic state. The issues of modernization of education on the principles of democratization and humanization, the creation of conditions for the full development of the intellectual and professional qualities of a person and the formation of a high level of health are of a great importance nowadays. The instilling of the responsible attitude in an individual towards both his/her own health and the health of other people is considered to be one of the priorities of the educational system in Ukraine. The formation of health culture, skills of healthy lifestyle, axiological attitude towards one’s own health must be started in the pre-school age. In Ukraine a great number of children have health problems and poor physical fitness, which is associated with a large academic load of primary school students, violation of the sleep-wake schedule, decrease of motor activity of children. The issue of health preservation is a subject of researches of many scientists, who consider various aspects of this problem: promoting a healthy lifestyle, physical education, health, culture, healthy lifestyle of primary school students, the preservation and strengthening of health of pupils in a family. A teacher is responsible for the implementation of this task: the main attention should be focused on the preparation of a new generation of teachers, the improvement of their general culture, and professional qualifications. Considering the above mentioned, the higher education is aimed at preparing a future physical education teacher for conscientious performance of health promotion and preventive work with primary pupils, who can not only teach and educate students, but also form their health culture and axiological attitude towards their health. Unfortunately, higher education not only fails to fulfill the task of preparing future teachers for health-educational activities, but also the problem of preserving the health of students is becoming more and more important. It is necessary to make primary school students maintain strict personal hygiene and improve these skills.

FORMING STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION TO SELF-GUIDED PHYSICAL TRAINING 

The article deals with the process of forming motivation in students to self-guided physical training, which is a powerful incentive of bringing young people to a healthy lifestyle which forms the health culture. To generate physical training motivation and keep a healthy lifestyle there is a direction in the system of higher education aimed at enhancing motivational interests of students. Motivation is considered as a system of motives, which determines the specific forms of activity or behavior. It is a key component of the successful activities, including physical training. Self-guided physical training allows supplying the lack of students’ motor activities, and restoring a level of physical and mental capacity. The selfguided recreational activities by means of artistic gymnastics are extremely important in the process of improving the physical health of students. It is one of the basic forms of training, because it forms independence as the personality trait and prepares an individual for constant self-improvement. Proper organization of self-guided physical training improves students’ motor activity, has a positive effect on their health and physical development and fitness, and as a result, instills the need for systematic physical training. In various forms of the educational process self-guided training is manifested in different ways: from a simple reproduction of the assignment to independent creative work. The technique of forming sports motivation in students through the example of artistic gymnastics has been presented in the article. It is considered as a system of power exercises aimed at developing strength, forming a good shape and promoting health. It helps to recover from many physical disorders: stoop, hollow breast, bad posture, underdeveloped muscles, etc. Artistic gymnastics is suitable for many people and it should be regarded as a developing direction of physical education as a self-guided physical work for students of higher educational institutions.

DEPENDENCE OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT ON PHYSICAL FITNESS OF YOUNG WEIGHTLIFTERS IN THE PREPARATORY TRAINING PERIOD OF THE ANNUAL MACROCYCLE 

Intensive trainings with a barbell contribute to the manifestation of maximum effort due to the strengthening of health and active muscle mass. Training of 14-15-year-old weightlifters is of great importance nowadays, because the most talented sportsmen go in for sports of records. The review of the scientific and methodical literature shows that experts have been studying the performance of physical development and physical fitness of young weightlifters, but there are still not enough details of the comparison of their results. The article is aimed at studying the level of physical development and physical fitness of 14-15-year-old weightlifters of different weight categories. 36 athletes who took part in the experiment were divided into several groups depending on their weight categories: І – up to 38-44 kg, ІІ – 45-55 kg, ІІІ – 56-65 kg. As a result it has been found that the difference between strength of the left and right hands of all groups of weight categories was 6,4% (p<0,05); the indicators of backbone dynamometry enlarge with the increasing of weight category – by 42,4% (p<0,05) and 11,2% (p<0,05). Besides, the dependence of physical development in physical fitness of junior weightlifters of different weight categories has been determined. There has been analyzed the performance of physical development and physical fitness of young weightlifters of different weight categories and it has been concluded that the largest relation between these indicators is r – 0,71 and r – 0,73. The direct correlation relationship between the indicators of general and special physical training has been established. The high correlation relationship has been observed in 15-year-old weightlifters between the indicators of standing long jumps and chest circumference – 0, 71; between the indicators of standing long jumps and straight leg bounces – 0, 73. The further researches involve other issues of training young weightlifters of different age categories.

INDIVIDUAL EDUCATIONAL TRAJECTORIES AS MEANS OF ENHANCEMENT OF INFORMATION CULTURE OF FUTURE TEACHERS 

Relevance of the research is caused by rampant development of information technologies and the need for training future specialists to use them, for providing future specialists with necessary skills and abilities for effective work in information society. In this regard, the great value gets the research of personal information culture. High level of the above mentioned culture provides specialists’ ability to find and process necessary information, to master new information technologies and to improve their professional skills. Thus, the formation of future specialist’s information culture in the course of training is the most important problem of modern education. The purpose of the research is to justify theoretically the use of individual educational trajectories as means of improving the information culture of future teachers. Information culture of a specialist is considered as an integral personal formation that includes knowledge and skills of using modern information technologies. There are three main approaches to defining the nature of the concept of an “individual educational trajectory”: personal, personal and procedural, programme. The interrelation of the concepts of “individual educational trajectory”, “individual educational route”, and “individual educational programme” is also considered. In this research we consider the concepts of “individual educational trajectory” and “individual educational route” identical, highlighting however the concept of “individual educational programme”. We consider an individual educational trajectory (route) as a type of individualization and differentiation of training which is shown in students’ choice of contents, the purposes, methods and tutorials according to their interests, abilities and motivations, which is implemented in cooperation with a teacher. An individual educational program is considered as a curriculum developed with the account of personal characteristics of a student which is a basis of an individual educational route. As part of the current research, the level of information culture of future teachers has been determined. Due to its low level, a three-stage system of enhancing the above mentioned culture at the foreign language lessons with the use of individual educational trajectories has been offered. The first stage involves the use of individual trajectories of an adaptive type and reproductive tasks. At the second stage the developing of individual trajectories and tasks of productive type are used. The third stage is based on the creative individual trajectories and creative tasks. As a result, the students should have formed abilities and skills of dealing with information technologies and their creative use.
