Abstract

The involvement of schoolchildren in motor activities is one of the main socio-pedagogical problems that are relevant in the context of distance learning, which has been going on in Ukraine for more than a year and a half due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. According to the survey conducted during the study, only 20% of students regularly play sports, and about 5% of them do PE homework. The results of the survey confirmed the thesis that, unfortunately, the level of motor activity of schoolchildren in distance education is decreasing and reaches a critical level. According to the results of the diagnosis of interest in motor activities, physical culture and sports of students, it was concluded that students are usually characterized by medium and low levels of interest in physical culture and sports, some students have a high level, but not many of them, most students are characterized by relatively low physical activity, unwillingness to attend physical education classes, they have a neutral attitude to physical culture and sports as a type of activity. Most students are not satisfied with physical education classes under quarantine restrictions. Under the condition of distance learning, most students demonstrate a decrease of independent physical activity and interest in these classes. In view of this, we created an author's method of forming an interest in motor activities, physical culture and sports in the out-of-school institution, which was implemented under the conditions of distance learning and quarantine restrictions at the University of Gifted Child, which operates at the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University. The study confirmed the hypothesis that the effectiveness of this process is provided by a number of conditions: students mastering the knowledge about physical culture and sports, health-saving, well-known athletes-countrymen; practical activities of children; joint activities with parents; joint physical education and sports classes with parents outdoors; joint hiking and biking; value attitude of junior schoolchildren to physical education, motivation for a healthy lifestyle, emotional satisfaction from physical exercise, motor activities, sports, active rest; experienced teachers, who are famous athletes, university teachers, as well as creative students; integrated classes, application of innovative educational technologies, gaming teaching methods, etc. We believe that our pedagogical finds (practical experience in forming the interest in junior students to physical culture and sports at the University of Gifted Child can be fully used in any educational institution both in Ukraine and abroad, individual innovations, fruitful ideas and approaches to the organization of motor activities of children and parents should be applied in school practice, their creative application will serve to increase the effectiveness of physical education of children.
