DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF BLENDED LEARNING IN THE ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE “PHYSICAL CULTURE”

The appeal to the problem of using digital educational resources in the academic discipline «Physical Culture» is associated with the need, in connection with the epidemiological situation in the world, to transfer the educational process to the online and blended learning format. Of course, the translation process began much earlier, thanks to the project “Modern Digital Educational Environment” [1], which was implemented from 2013–2020 as part of the state program “Development of Education”. Despite this, specialists in physical culture and sports of non-physical culture universities insisted that “physical culture” has a purely applied nature and cannot be carried out in a blended learning and, moreover, in an online format. At the same time, each of us understands that to engage means to act. There is no action without motivation, positive emotions and attitude. All this forms a readiness for action. Readiness is not formed without a cognitive component and an operational – activity component, that is, without a cognitive component. Consolidation of the acquired knowledge in practice, which is associated not only with motor activity, but also with other components of physical improvement. Drawing a conclusion from the above, we can say that the theoretical block of the discipline “Physical Culture” is important and its implementation is possible in an online and blended learning format. The problem of introducing digital educational resources into the process of mastering the discipline “Physical Culture” is considered. The analysis of Internet sites, applications and programs most often used by specialists in the educational process is presented. The relevance of the use of mixed learning in the development of the discipline “Physical Culture” has been revealed. A survey of physical education teachers was carried out, during which the negative and positive effects of the use of Internet technologies in the classroom of both practical and theoretical blocks of the discipline were determined. Recommendations are given to improve the effectiveness of studying the discipline in a mixed and remote format. Conclusion: when studying the discipline “Physical Culture”, the possibilities of using various digital educational resources are limitless; because they allow you to master the discipline in a mixed and remote format, design individual educational routes, independently increase the level of cognitive activity and readiness for physical self-improvement. At the same time, we believe that the best option would be to create a systemically organized virtual educational health-saving platform that will allow students to effectively build their own health-saving educational space. It should be a world where you can find everything about physical improvement and even more: materials of lectures and seminars in free permanent access, online courses, webinars, training simulators and online constructors, testing applications, a virtual library, useful articles, video classes, various applications, and messengers for feedback.
