Organizational and Pedagogical Physical Activity Support for General Education School Students’ Parents

Abstract

The research quotes data on the nature of pedagogical support for physical and sports activity of 7th grade students by impacting their parents’ behavior in this process. It is suggested that pedagogical support aimed at changing parents’ attitude to their children’s physical and sport activities will help develop self-cognition, self-development, self-education and self-improvement processes in all family members. 82 parents of 7th-grade cohort students participated in the survey. Features of parents’ knowledge of physical and sport activity’s value and role in organizing their children’s lives and parents’ personal role in this process is explored at the initial stage of the experiment. Pedagogical support based on including methods of diagnostics, self-observation and differentiated physical exercise, as well as meeting a number of pedagogical conditions helps change parents’ and general education school students’ attitude to physical and sport activity [5]. Efficiency of pedagogical support is demonstrated, as it impacts the level of experience in parents’ management of their children’s behavior within physical and sports activity. It is established that the majority of parents (70%) noted a positive impact of physical activity on relations between parents and children in achieving the set goals and the tasks of physical development and physical improvement
