PEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF METHODICAL SYSTEM OF APPLICATION OF HEALTH-IMPROVING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PROCESS OF STUDENTS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Actuality. The application of principles is a prerequisite for improving the quality of teaching activity. Didactic principles are the basis for studying all disciplines and to a large extent determine their content, form of organization, process and educational methods. Specific principles reflect the specifics of physical culture and recreational activities extend and supplement the didactic principles. One of the main principles of physical education is the principle of health-improving orientation, the content of which is to provide a health-improving effect in the process of training and is of major importance for the students’ physical education today. Tasks of Work. To analyze the state of the problem in question in pedagogical theory and practice. To substantiate theoretically the didactic and special principles of the methodical system of application of health-improving technologies in the process of physical education of students in a special educational department. Results of Research Work. In the process of forming readiness for the use of health-improving technologies in physical culture and recreational activities, the following principles are singled out: harmonious personality development; communication with life; consciousness; subject-subject orientation of the educational relationships; health-improving orientation; individualization; innovation; continuity. The specific principles, that reflect the specifics of the methodical system of applying health-improving technologies in the process of psychological and physiological preparation for future professional activities, are characterized: dominant and motivational guideline; integral spatial and temporal integration; specialization; multidirectional rhythm; feedback. Conclusions. It is determined that there are various approaches to definition the number of educational principles, their content and ways of implementation in practice. In the research work the principles are synthesized in the system of a unified pedagogical process, contributed to the creation of an updated methodical system of health-improving technologies and ensured its successful implementation in the health-preserving educational space of a higher educational establishment.
