Assessment of knowledge in the subject area of “physical education” in schoolchildren in grades 1-9 with mild mental retardation

the introduction of the Federal State Educational Standard for the education of students with mental retardation (intellectual disabilities) has dictated new requirements for the assessment of the academic achievements of schoolchildren in this nosological group. At the same time, one of the important scientific and methodological problems is the correct assessment of the formation of knowledge in the subject area of “physical education”. In this regard, research aimed at establishing the patterns of knowledge formation is relevant and timely. The study involved 154 students from special (correctional) schools and boarding schools in the Amur Region. Based on the results obtained, it was established that knowledge formation is most successful in primary school (grades 1 and 2), followed by a wave-like decline in indicators characterizing knowledge formation, which reaches its lowest values by grade 9. During school education, the most favorable periods for knowledge formation are in grades 2 and 5.
