Psychological and Pedagogical Determinants of the Students’ Healthy Lifestyle Formation by Means of Health and Fitness Activities

Abstract

The aim: Is to investigate the psychological and pedagogical determinants of the students’ healthy lifestyle formation by means of health and fitness activities. Materials and methods: The study involved 882 students between the ages of 17 and 23. An analysis of the students’ health dynamics during the period of study determined their motivational and value-based attitude to a healthy lifestyle, the level of health competence and the desire of students to implement it in future professional activities, studied the attitude of students to their own health Results: It was found that during two years of study, the health of students had significantly deteriorated. The number of sick students increased to 34.8 % among males and to 31.9 % among females. It was found that only 12.3 % of male students and 10.6 % of female ones had a high level of motivation for a healthy lifestyle. Conclusions: It was determined that students were aware of the importance of a high level of health to ensure the effectiveness of vital activity (more than 50 % of students realized the value of health in the system of life values), but the vast majority did nothing to maintain it. Most students did not have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to use health technologies during studying and leisure.

The Impact of Health-promoting Technologies on University Students’ Physical Development

“…In particular, the speed of motor reactions is determined by the mobility of nervous processes, and the frequency of movements depends on the mobility of the neuromuscular apparatus: the frequency of neuromuscular impulses, the speed of muscle transition from the tension phase to the relaxation phase, the rate of alternation of these phases, the degree of inclusion of "fast" muscle fibres in the process of movement and their synchronous work, they are characterized by hereditary features and are best developed in sensitive periods. In addition, motor skills are the basis of physical development of students, as well as a prerequisite for effective training in physical exercises, as they ensure the coordination and arrangement of various motor actions into a single whole in accordance with the set goal [26][27][28].…”

Formation and Preservation of Students’ Mental Health in the Process of Studying at Pedagogical Universities

“…All of them in one way or another ensure the formation of a valuable attitude of young people to their own health, improvement of physical development and physical fitness, taking into account the requirements of future professional activities, mastering quick methods of psychological support, awareness of the importance of maintaining the mental health of all participants in the educational process. For teachers and students who aspire to become teachers, the priority task is to lead a healthy lifestyle and provide an example of health preservation for high schoolers [4,5]. Therefore, it is important to form health preservation competence of the future teacher as a system, as well as its integral component i. e. the competence of individual health preservation of the teacher.…”

Впровадження Освітніх Практик Здоровʼязбереження При Підготовці Stem-Фахівців

“…STEM-освіта може допомогти учням отримати практичні навички, які можуть бути корисними у роботі в майбутньому, а також збільшити їх шанси на успішне працевлаштування в галузях, пов'язаних з наукою, технологами, інженерією та математикою. Для ефективного викладання STEM-освіти необхідно використовувати інноваційні методики та забезпечити доступ до сучасних технологій та інструментів В Україні введення STEM-освіти, у відповідності до згаданої Концепції, передбачає застосування наступних принципів: постійне оновлення змісту, особистісний підхід, наступність, диференціація освітнього матеріалу, патріотизм і громадська спрямованість, інтеграція, продуктивна мотивація, розвивальне та проблемне навчання [11]. Реалізація нового перспективного напряму передбачає, що задіяними будуть наступні види освіти: формальну, неформальну, інформальну, як на онлайн-платформах так і у STEM-лабораторіях.…”
