Priorities of Using Interactive Educational Methods in the Technical Preparation of Volleyball Players at the Stage of Initial Training

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine methodological priorities for the use of interactive educational methods in the technical preparation of volleyball players at the stage of initial training. Materials and methods. The methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodical literature, the method of expert evaluation, methods of mathematical statistics were used. During September-December 2020, 24 coaches and physical culture teachers who conduct volleyball group work in secondary schools were interviewed. Results and discussion. The rating of interactive educational methods for studying individual technical techniques in volleyball has been determined. Experts offer to use different methods for studying and improving the ball serve: discussing the problem in a general circle, acting out the situation, working in small groups, decision tree; for passing the ball: rotating (changeable) threes, working in pairs, microphone and acting out the situation; for receiving the ball: working in pairs, working in small groups, discussing the problem in a general circle and solving problems; offensive strike: evaluative discussion, work in pairs and discussion of the problem in the general circle; for blocking: two-four-all together, work in pairs, rotating (changeable) threes, work in small groups. Experts recommend using eleven separate interactive educational methods, among them: five belong to the subgroup of cooperative learning: work in small groups, rotating (changeable) threes, work in pairs, circle of ideas, two-four-all together; four methods belong to the subgroup of collective-group learning: discussion of the problem in the general circle, decision tree, microphone, problem solving; one – to the subgroup of situational modeling – acting out the situation by roles (role play, imitation) and one – to the subgroup of evaluation of debatable issues – evaluation discussion. Interesting and effective methods and means should prevail at the initial stages of athletes’ preparation. This gives reason to recommend the use of interactive educational methods for working with beginner volleyball players. Conclusion. For the first time, recommendations for the use of interactive educational methods in the preparation of athletes at the stage of initial training in game team sports (on the example of volleyball) were defined and summarized; recommendations for the application of individual methods and their subgroups for solving problems of teaching certain technical actions of volleyball are determined. Based on this, it is possible to make an objective correction of the content of the educational and training process of volleyball players of the first year of study at the stage of initial training in terms of their technical preparation
