Systems analysis of the structure and functions of sports teams in the context of pedagogical research

materials and methods: the work uses materials from the theoretical analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literature on the problems of sports psychology, physical education pedagogy and small group theory. To systematize theoretical approaches to the analysis of the structure of a sports team, the methods of comparative analysis, generalization of scientific data, structural and functional modeling and classification were used. The research is based on the concepts of sociometric, functional-role, systemic-structural and cultural-value approaches to the study of team structure. Results. It is shown that existing approaches to the analysis of the structure of a sports team are fragmentary and require integration for a comprehensive understanding of team functioning. An integrated model of a sports team structure has been developed, including four interconnected components: organizational-functional, socio-psychological, value-cultural, and activity-targeted. The functions of a sports team have been systematized into three groups: general (instrumental, expressive, socializing, referential, regulatory), specific (competitive, training, strategic, adaptive, mobilizing), and pedagogical (educational, developmental, educational, formative). It has been established that the efficiency of performing team functions is determined by the degree of development and consistency of all structural components. The efficiency indicators have been identified for each component: clarity of role distribution and management efficiency for the organizational-functional component; level of cohesion and quality of relationships for the socio-psychological component; unity of values and stability of traditions for the value-cultural component. clarity of goals, motivational strength and effectiveness for the activity-target component. Conclusion. The proposed integrative model of structural and functional analysis of a sports team allows us to overcome the limitations of existing approaches and provide a comprehensive understanding of team functioning as a socio-pedagogical system. The model takes into account the multi-level nature of the team structure and the diversity of functions performed, which corresponds to modern trends in the study of small groups. The allocation of pedagogical functions reflects the specifics of the educational environment and emphasizes the educational potential of sports activities. The results of the study can be used to diagnose the state of sports teams, plan activities for their development and assess the effectiveness of teamwork in educational organizations.
