Use of situational obstacle course in the educational process with specific learning conditions

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of using a situational obstacle course in the educational process of a higher education institution with specific learning conditions (Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs). In the current conditions of development of socio- political challenges facing Ukrainian society, issues related to increasing the level of readiness of the National Police of Ukraine for professional activities, including the use of physical force and hand-to-hand combat techniques, are being raised to a qualitatively new level. The purpose of the article is to study a new direction of improving the physical training of the National Police of Ukraine, and also to find out its impact on their physical fitness. In order to increase the level of physical fitness, as well as to improve the process of physical training of higher education students of the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs, the authors of the Department of Special Physical Training of the Faculty of Training of Specialists for Criminal Police Units (D.O. Anisimov, V.V. Boguslavskyi and O.A. Zhuravel) developed methodological recommendations for overcoming the situational obstacle course (Certificate of Copyright Registration for the work No. 118015 of April 11, 2023). The study involved second-year cadets of the Dnipropetrovs'k State University of Internal Affairs aged 18 to 21 years (CG - n = 28, EG - n = 28). Methods: system-functional analysis; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. The study found that the use of a situational obstacle course in the educational process of higher education institutions with specific learning conditions can qualitatively affect the preparation of higher education students for practical activities in the ranks of the National Police of Ukraine. In the future, it is promising to study the use of a situational obstacle course among current employees of the National Police of Ukraine.
