Formation Of Value-Based Attitude Towards Physical Education In Teenagers

Abstract

Physical education is a special educational process that involves the biological, psychological and social nature of a child. Thus, it is essential to form a value-based attitude towards physical education, especially taking into account individual-typological characteristics of children. The purpose of the study was to form a value-based attitude towards physical education in schoolchildren in the framework of a specially created programme. We used Belov`s temperamental identification questionnaire, Rokeach value survey, ratio level of values and accessibility technique by E.B. Fantalova, and Schwartz value survey. We conducted a test of general physical fitness of schoolchildren (standing long jumps, sit-ups, push-ups (girls); pull-ups (boys); 30-meters dashes, shuttle runs 3х10m, seated forward bends). Statistical processing was performed in Excel 2000 and STATISTICA 8.0. with the use of Students t-test for dependent and independent samples. When calculating arithmetic mean, data was considered credible at р0.05.The study was conducted in the Chelyabinsk school No. 103 (N=50). A programme of value-based attitude formation towards physical education considering individual-typological approach was developed.The identified improvements in physical fitness among the schoolchildren of the pilot group in comparison with the control group in the course of an academic year show the efficiency of the physical fitness programme that considers the individual-typological approach to children with emphasis on the formation of a value-based attitude towards physical education.
