Abstract:

Transfer to distance learning is characterized by a static way of life and by a low level of physical activity. It has a negative influence on students’ health and life quality; and the situation itself, which appeared during the pandemic of COVID-19, causes additional stress and endangers mental health of young people. We present the research results concerning students’ key problems study, connected with educational process organization in “Physical culture and sport” discipline during distance learning in terms of COVID-19 pandemic. The received results help to create effectively distant practical yoga course in terms of “Physical culture and sport” elective discipline using available means and methods. They provide students’ psycho-emotional state improvement. Materials. The article presents the results of studying the key problems of students, connected with educational process in yoga course organization in terms of “Physical culture and sport” discipline in a form of a distance learning. It also compares the average subjective psycho-emotional state self-evaluations among students before and after the lessons in two forms of education: full-time education and distance learning. Research methods. The research methods were the following: Information sources, concerning the topic of the research, analysis; questionnaire survey and questioning; pedagogical experiment; pedagogical observation, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. “Physical culture and sport” elective discipline realization in a distant form is connected with everyday and technical difficulties. In the opinions of the examined students, the most favorable kind of lessons content is an individual work. The results of students’ psycho-emotional state comparison in terms of full-time education and distant forms of this discipline realization (by the example of yoga course) prove higher average emotional state self-evaluations according to all three indices: health state, activity, mood during full-time education in comparison with the indices in terms of distance learning with a valid probability P <0,05. Conclusion. As a result of the held research we come to the following conclusion: regardless of an active modern technical means introduction into the system of education, distant form of learning during physical education process can be considered only as an addition to obligatory live physical exercises. It validly influenced the indices of psychoemotional state of high school students.
