MOTIVATING STUDENTS FOR MOTOR ACTIVITY
IN THE FRAMEWORK OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

In recent years, there is a tendency of students’ motor activity decreasing, which negatively affects the indicators of their physical fitness. Due to this, the issue of the formation, preservation and strengthening of the health of students is of special importance and relevance nowadays. The paper aims to identify and justify a set of measures aimed at motivating university students for motor activity and experimentally verify their effectiveness. The experiment involved 60 1st - 2 nd year students of Volodymyr Vynnychenko Central Ukrainian State Pedagogical University divided into control and experimental groups. At the first stage of the experiment, the respondents’ motor activity was assessed, which showed that most of them had a low level. It provided the necessity for introducing measures for motivating students for physical activity. The suggested technique includes the following stages: encouraging students for activity; goal setting and choosing a type of activity; realization of the tasks set; creating comfortable conditions for activity implementation; analysis of the results, making students realize the satisfaction with physical activities. The suggested approach to organizing the educational process in physical education, implemented in the pedagogical experiment, has contributed not only to a more conscious attitude towards physical education classes but also motivated them for motor activity.
