METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR TEACHING SCHOOL STUDENTS TO REACH THE STANDARDS OF THE PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST (GTO) OF THE THIRD LEVEL
Introduction. According to both scientific methodological literature and official statistics, the efficiency of work aimed at teaching school students to reach the standards of the Physical Fitness Test (GTO) of the third level is low. We are proposing to develop methodological support of this process as a possible solution to the abovementioned problem. The purpose of the study - is to find theoretical foundation, develop and test methodological support for teaching school students to reach the standards of the Physical Fitness Test (GTO) of the third level and evaluate its efficiency. Methodology and organization of the study. The key method of the research is pedagogical experiment which was carried out from 2017 till 2020 with students of 21 schools of Tchaikovsky district. The experiment was based on methodological support for teaching school students to reach the standards of the Physical Fitness Test (GTO) of the third level. The results of the study. The results of the experiment prove the efficiency of the proposed methodological support for teaching school students to reach the standards of the Physical Fitness Test (GTO) of the third level within both particular schools and Tchaikovsky district and Perm region in general: there is statistically significant increase in the number of events connected with reaching the standards of the Physical Fitness Test of the third level, statistically significant increase is also shown in the number of students taking part in the Physical Fitness Test, another point of statistically significant increase is in the number of students who have completed the Physical Fitness Test with honors. As a result of the experiment, Perm region has moved up to the 43rd place in the rating of the regions of the Russian Federation. Conclusions. Practical use of the proposed methodological support is reasonable and relevant since it leads to increasing the efficiency of teaching school students to reach the standards of the Physical Fitness Test (GTO) of the third level.
