The Current Relevance of the Research. The article highlights the ways of education and self-education of children and youth who have a tendency to use drugs in the sports and tourism activities. It is pointed out that sport and tourism are one of the few industries possessing a large arsenal of methods and means of influencing the human body, and therefore their proper use will contribute to the proper organization of leisure, the formation of a culture of free time and the observance of a healthy lifestyle, and the refusal to use drugs in particular. Healthy lifestyle is not only an integral part of human physical health, but also one of the most problematic components: whether to follow the principles of a healthy lifestyle or not always depends on more or less conscious choice of a person. The main «enemies» of a healthy lifestyle can be called cultural superstition, some social factors, as well as the use of narcotic drugs. Sport and tourism are intended to weaken and neutralize the effect of this negative manifestation, which each year leads to an increase in mortality and a deterioration of the general health of the younger generation. The purpose of the work is to highlight individual research findings in terms of finding effective ways of education and self-education of children and youth who are involved in sports and tourism and, unfortunately, are prone to drug use. Methods: the study of literary sources, pedagogical observations during sports training and competitions, the method of independent characteristics, the study of documentation of planning and consideration of educational work in the youth sports schools and children's sports clubs at the place of residence, retrospective analysis, questionnaires, and pedagogical experiment as the main method of research, during which experimental groups used methods of psychodiagnostics. Results. For the purpose of pedagogical correction the structure of the technological stages of forming the negative attitude towards the drugs of those young athletes and tourists who have ever used or occasionally use narcotic substances is proposed. The correction technology, which has been tested during 10–12 months by trainers of the youth sports school and heads of tourist sections of Lutsk, includes three stages, each of which has two blocks. Conclusions. In order to prevent drug abuse among children, adolescents and young people engaged in various sports and tourism who are prone to or occasionally take psychoactive substances, it is necessary to broaden the psychological and pedagogical influences such as beliefs, examples, involvement in healthy lifestyles, teaching methods of autosuggestion, self-study, self-monitoring and others, which have a direct relation to the methodology of education and self-education. It is recommended to adhere to the structure of the technological stages of pedagogical correction (preparatory stage, information stage, and correctional stage). Each stage includes two blocks, the preparatory stage includes macro-social and family units, the information stage includes personal and remedial units, and the corrective stage includes behavioral and motivational units.
