Pedagogical Principles of Control in Physical Education of Students of Special Medical Groups

Abstract

The research objective is to define and ground the parameters of pedagogical principles of control in physical education of students of special medical groups. Materials and methods. To achieve the objectives set, the research relied on the following methods: general scientific methods of theoretical level: analysis and synthesis, conceptualization, systematization and generalization.Results. The results of the scientific research has shown that the control of students’ psychophysical state, as a necessary precondition for organizing physical education in special medical groups, is a factor that specifies the training program. The research has proved that the complex testing integrally evaluates the level of students’ psychophysical state. The latter is a prognostic health indicator and, at the same time, an indicator of the effectiveness of physical education in special medical groups. The research has found that control in this process is considered an organic combination of testing and evaluation, the result of which is a grade. Consequently, control in physical education of students of special medical groups should function as an integrated system aimed at solving the main task of physical education — to ensure the psychophysical preparedness of students with health disabilities for their future professional activities.Conclusions. The research has defined and grounded the parameters of pedagogical principles of control in physical education of students of special medical groups. It has found that the system of controlling students with health disabilities is a testing process presented as a set of standardized measurement methods. The latter is a pedagogical process synthesizing the procedures of testing and evaluation and thus intended to ensure the effectiveness of pedagogical actions in physical education.
