The thesis is devoted to the up to date problem of formation of health - saving competence of students of information and communication specialties not only in the process of physical education, but also in general, when receiving educational services.
The thesis describes the content and structure of the methodology of using health-saving competence in the process of physical education of students of higher education institutions of information and communication specialties, its’ theoretical and methodological approaches, principles, forms, methods and means.
The concept of the system of health-saving competence in the process of physical education of student youth has been developed on the basis of consistency, individual approach, as well as continuity of its application, where general and the special principles have been outlined and characterized.
Conducting our research, we studied the students’ motivation to use physical exercises and various forms of active recreation to promote health, dynamics of biological age, and an increase of mental capacity.
A key feature of the proposed methodology is the implementation of the physical and educational program during physical education classes, training in theoretical disciplines and independent training, the formation of students’ health and safety competence.
Under the methodical system of application of health-saving competence, we see the introduction in the process of physical education of students the forms, means and methods of application of health-improving and cultural technologies, mechanisms of their design in the health-saving educational space of the institution of higher education with the help of modern innovative pedagogical technologies
The pedagogical conditions have been determined, experimentally tested and grouped, in particular: organizational-pedagogical, didactic and psychological-pedagogical. According to the results of correlation analysis, the indicators that most characterize the level of physical fitness and the students’ biological age have been determined.
The model of application of health-preserving competence in the process of physical education of students is scientifically substantiated, developed and experimentally tested, which includes methodological-targeted, substantive-procedural and diagnostically-effective sections and is based on the methodology of systematic, synergetic, activity, personality-oriented, integrative-innovative and competence approaches.
It was improved: existing theoretical and methodological principles of application of the means of health-saving competence in the process of physical education in institutions of higher education; the structure of information significant indicators of professionally applied physical fitness of students of information and communication specialties.
Approaches to the analysis of the existing physical and fitness technologies have been further developed; scientific principles of modern information and communication technologies using during monitoring of the state of health, the level of physical fitness and indicators of the biological age of students both in the process of physical education and during theoretical classes.
The practical significance of the results of the thesis research is the development, experimental verification and implementation in the practice of higher education institutions of a complex of educational and methodological support. The textbook, educational manuals, methodical recommendations that help to increase the efficiency of scientific and pedagogical staff in higher education institutions of Ukraine have been developed.
The theoretically substantiated methodical system of application of the means of health-saving competence in the process of physical education of students has proved its effectiveness in the conditions of pedagogical experiment. The methodology for determining the level of health-saving competence of students who participated in the research has been adapted. The system of criteria and indicators, constructed in relation to theoretically substantiated requirements, is correlated with the structure of the methodological system of application of health-saving competence in the process of physical education of students: motivational-value component – with motivational criterion, cognitive component – with content criterion. The results of the study of the state of formation of health-saving competence of students of higher education institution according to defined criteria are presented.
