Внедрение цифровых технологий в практику физического воспитания студентов в вузе: результаты опроса преподавателей и студентов Марийского государственного университета

Abstract

The organization of physical education at a university differs from the organization of teaching other disciplines; therefore, a special approach to the introduction of digital technologies into the practice of physical education at a university should be used. To develop and critically understand the further digitalization of the process of physical education of university students, it is important to obtain empirical data on what experience of using digital technologies in the practice of physical education at the university teachers and students have accumulated, and what problems they have encountered when used these technologies. The author carried out a comprehensive survey of teachers (n=20) and students (n=50) of the Faculty of Physical Education, Sports and Tourism of Mari State University to study their experience and attitude towards the use of digital technologies in the physical education of university students. The survey results indicate a generally positive attitude of teachers and students towards the introduction of digital technologies into the process of physical education. Most students consider the introduction of digital technologies into the process of physical education useful and relevant. As the main difficulties associated with the process of physical education digitalization, the students specified the following: 1) the majority of them lack experience in using digital technologies specifically in the field of physical education; 2) difficulties of self-organization; 3) increasing the volume of intellectual workloads. The majority of lecturers surveyed do not have sufficient experience in using digital technologies in their professional activities; there is a lack of time to master completely the opportunities offered by digital technologies, which is associated with a heavy professional workload.
