State and prospects of the differentiation of physical education classes for school students

Abstract

The article provides theoretical and methodological information on the issues of differentiated physical education of general education school students. A set of methods was used: generalization of special literature, information sources, and Internet materials. The aim of the study was a scientific and subject analysis of modern methodology for teaching physical education classes. The study of special literature and practical experience indicated the reasons for its ineffective functioning, namely: the focus of the classroom-lesson system on the average sex-age-related standard and ignoring of individual-typological differences among students; the predominance of informational cognitive and physical education recreational objectives over developmental and recreational ones; the existence of a large number of methods for students differentiation into homogeneous groups, which impede the process of effective differentiation of physical exercises; the absence of rational parameters for different types of physical exercise, which take into account the morphofunctional capabilities of students; lack of a justified system for assessing physical preparedness according to the students’ level of physical health; the absence of an algorithm for programming developmental and health-enhancing physical education classes in accordance with the requirements of the theory and methodology of physical education and the physiological mechanisms of body adaptation during the school year.
