Factors influencing the digital divide in the field of physical education and sports in the context of comparing large cities and remote sparsely populated areas

The article updates the problem of digital inequality in the field of physical culture and sports between large cities and remote sparsely populated areas. According to the authors, in order to eliminate the digital divide, when strategically planning activities and setting deadlines for the introduction of digital technologies, it is necessary to take into account such factors as the presence of high–speed Internet, or its absence or slow speed in a populated area, geographical, natural and climatic features of a particular area, the process of urbanization in suggesting areas for the introduction of digital technologies, socio–demographic characteristics of local citizens, competition in the market of sports, recreational, sports, entertainment and fitness services, economic and political situation in the region, level of digital competencies among specialists in physical culture and sports. Taking these factors into account in strategic planning will eliminate the digital divide between large cities and remote, inaccessible areas, which will contribute to achieving the global goal of increasing the proportion of Russians systematically involved in physical education and sports to 70% by 2030

Is Video-Conferencing Helpful for Physical Education Classes in the New Normal? A PLS-SEM Analysis Adopting the Technology Acceptance Model

Research shows that videoconferencing tools can be used for delivering high-quality instruction in real-time to a large number of students simultaneously during and even in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, there is a lack of data on how favourable it is among students, particularly in the Philippine setting, in the field of Physical Education (PE). In this regard, this study aimed at inspecting exogenous factors linked to students’ acceptance of a video-conferencing platform in learning knowledge- and skill-based concepts in Physical Education through the adaptation of the Technology Acceptance Model. After performing the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling from a purposively selected sample of 250 teacher education students, the results showed that perceived ease of use (PEOU) positively affected perceived usefulness (PU). It was also found that PEOU and PU impacted behavioural intention. Lastly, behavioural intention (BI) positively leverages actual use of the Zoom platform. It can be inferred that students can benefit greatly from using the video-conferencing platform to learn various PE concepts. Moreover, another surprising discovery was that students could use the platform to efficiently learn, thus capitalising on the university’s educational system, even in the New Normal.

Comprehensive functional testing based on physical load with changing power in a closed cycle for students

A large number of studies are devoted to the study of the functional capabilities of pupils and students. The majority of scientists and practitioners evaluate the level of functional capabilities with the help of various test tasks on physical fitness, also use various functional tests and functional testing with the help of dosed physical loads, in isolated cases with the help of maximum loads. In the light of the published data, there is a noticeable controversy of opinions in determining the level of functional capabilities due to certain inaccuracies in obtaining results and inaccuracies in the approaches to finding relevant indicators, which do not take into account the age-related changes occurring in the body of pupils and students. In our opinion, the most accurate, operative and informative is functional testing, in which the power of the physical load changes in a closed cycle. This technique allows to detect not only the indicators of physical performance and the reaction of the cardiovascular system, but also allows to establish the regulatory and energy components of the systemic reaction of the human body. The implementation of such monitoring technology and information program, which provides an automated assessment of the functional capabilities of the human body, and is accurate, informative and physiologically justified, is relevant in our time. In order to optimize the educational and educational process of physical education and obtain more complete information about the level of functional capabilities of students of higher educational institutions, it is advisable to use complex monitoring taking into account the appropriate functional testing and separate tests of physical fitness, which will help specialists in the field of physical education to obtain a more accurate and versatile information about students' functional capabilities, assess their state of health, implement individual and differential approaches in the educational process of physical education based on the received data, make corrections to the educational process in educational institutions.

Adaptation of the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire for Physical Education (AEQ- PE) to the Turkish Language

Emotions affect students' cognitive development and performance, their personality and character, and their psychological and physical health. As a type of emotion, achievement emotions are among the most common and functionally important emotions in modern education and modern society. Lack of studies relevant to achievement emotions in the field of physical education in our country made this study necessary to be conducted. Therefore, the study aimed to adapt the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire for Physical Education (AEQ-PE) developed by Fierro-Suero et al. (2020) into Turkish. Data were collected from 369 secondary school students. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), item-total correlation, Cronbach's Alpha, Spearman Brown, test-retest (n= 90) and measurement invariance analyses were conducted to measure the validity and reliability of the scale. As a result of CFA, goodness-of-fit and factor loading values were found to be at acceptable and good levels. Cronbach's Alpha values of the sub-factors of the scale ranged between .620 and .815. The Spearman Brown coefficient was .767 and the test-retest result was .91. The measurement invariance analysis showed that there was no difference between the male and female students. In addition, the scale dimensions under positive and negative emotions were confirmed by second-order factor analysis. As a result of the analyses, the scale was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool for the studies which will be conducted on Turkish population.

LEARNING ATTITUDE, ACADEMIC INTEREST AND SELF-EFFICACY TOWARDS PHYSICS SUBJECT OF GRADE 12 SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS STUDENTS

The search for the best ways to improve student learning attitude and academic interest in physics to understand its complexity was done even before the adaptation of blended learning. With this, students self-efficacy in learning this subject matter becomes an interesting variable to explore, given that there is a change in the instruction delivery. The general purpose of this study is to determine which indicators of learning attitude and academic interest significantly influence the self-efficacy of students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand. It also explores the significant link between learning attitude and academic interest to self-efficacy in Physics that will have an impact on students learning towards the subject. The researchers utilized a non-experimental particularly a descriptive correlational design in quantitative research using statistical tools such as mean, Pearson product moment correlation of coefficient, and linear regression. To answer the main objective of this study, a modified survey questionnaire was provided to the 100 invited respondents having a Likert 5-point scale. It was found out that negative attitudes under learning attitude and perceived ease of use with learners involvement for academic interest significantly influenced students self-efficacy in learning Physics. It further shows that academic interest is highly correlated with learning self-efficacy in this subject matter. Learning attitude is sometimes evident among the respondents while academic interest and self-efficacy showed often observable. From these results, teachers should design effective learning strategies and continue motivating their students to engage in class discussion, as they express that they can get good results in learning Physics. Students should also develop a liking for this subject matter to learn actively without having any second thoughts even though it is challenging for them. Lastly, the findings of this study have significant implications for future research in the field of Physics education. Building upon the findings, future researchers can explore other factors that influence students behavior and identify additional variables that contribute to the learning process. By doing so, future studies can be strengthened, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the topic. KEYWORDS: Learning attitudes, academic interest, self-efficacy, learning Physics, and learners’ involvement

Psychological basis for the creation of adaptive speech situations in a foreign language class in the higher educational institutions of physical culture and sport

The problem of creating adaptive speech situations when teaching oral foreign speech is a very important part of teaching foreign languages in general. Failures can be explained by the fact that, firstly, the complete non-compliance with the conditions of the educational process, the conditions that are necessary for the emergence of an adaptive act of speaking in a foreign language, and secondly, by the fact that the data of related sciences, including psychology, are still not sufficiently used to solve this issue in higher fields of physical culture and sports. It is proposed to solve this kind of problem based on the following provisions. A natural or adaptive speech situation is a situation in which a student of higher education in the field of physical culture and sport performs certain acts of speech activity. In this article, we will try to find a place for speech activity in the sports structure of behavior and after that, we will describe the conditions of the educational process in which adaptive acts of speaking in a foreign language can take place. It should be an equivalent to describing the conditions for the formation of adaptive speech situations. The term "sports behavior" in sports psychology does not have a clear meaning. It can be understood as any specific activity of an athlete (training, game, training process, competition) and individual actions of a sports individual (for example: training, sports adaptation, educational process), as well as individual operations that are part of these actions. At the same time, the purposefulness of acts of "sporting behavior" is determined, on the one hand, by the subject needs, and on the other, by the conditions that can satisfy these needs. The purpose of behavior acts is to satisfy this need of the subject. Let us add that the subject, as a rule, possesses a certain action more or less automatically, that is, it is given to him as a kind of ready-to-function unity. All these facts contribute to the psychological basis of the formation of adaptive speech situations in foreign language classes in the higher fields of physical education and sports.

The Principle of Constructive Alternativeism and Physical Education. Introduction and purpose of the study

Nowadays, there is an active rethinking of the prospects for the development of physical education in educational institutions. This is manifested, in particular, in the aggravation of discussions about the expediency of using in our time such models of physical education as health-improving and adaptive, socially-oriented, personality-oriented, sports and recteative, which, as you know, differ in their goals and means of achieving them. In the course of these discussions, the proponents of some points of view reject the expediency of paying attention to the other approaches and offer their point of view as the "ultimate truth". In this work, an attempt is made to analyze the experience of getting out of similar situations in modern psychology and apply it to the field of physical education. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the expediency of using the principle of constructive alternativeism in physical education. Material and methods. In the process of research, the method of analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literature was used. Results. The starting point of the study was the idea that approaches to the analysis of models of physical education should be carried out in the practical and theoretical planes. From a practical point of view, it is important to understand to what extent this or that model responds to the current demand of society, the complexity of organizational measures that are necessary for its implementation, the material base, etc. From the point of view of theory, the only thing that matters is to what extent our understanding of physical education as a phenomenon has been deepened and expanded. Conclusions. In the current conditions of martial law in Ukraine, the most expedient is the transition to a socially-oriented model of physical education. In the theory of physical education, it is advisable to focus on the principle of constructive alternativeism.
