CURRENT ISSUES OF MOTIVATION OF FOREIGN STUDENTS TO ENGAGE IN PHYSICAL CULTURE AT THE UNIVERSITY BASED ON THE USE OF A POINT-RATING ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

The growing number of foreign students in Russian universities requires the search and development of new ways to optimize their educational process in educational institutions of our country. An important element of training in Russian universities is the physical education of students, ensuring the preservation of their health and maintaining an optimal functional state and working capacity. Physical education of university students is implemented in training classes on physical culture. The low motivation of foreign students to engage in physical culture requires the use of innovative approaches in the educational process. One of these approaches is the use of a point-rating system for monitoring and evaluating students’ knowledge, skills and abilities. In this regard, the issues of motivation of foreign students to engage in physical culture at the university are updated on the basis of the use of a point-rating assessment system.
