GENDER APPROACH IN THE HISTORY OF KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT ON PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT: SOCIAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL-PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECTS
In the conditions of modern realities, the problem of the gender theory of physical education of children and youth becomes relevant, which is considered in the social sciences and the humanities from the standpoint of gender-role identification within the framework of the process of personality socialization. The historical-descriptive analytical approach orients scientists to the study of the foundations of humane pedagogy, psychology, developmental physiology, etc., in the context of which adherence to natural principles in education and training is considered as the main imperative of the harmonious development of the individual. Speaking about the formation of the socio-psychological foundations of physical education and knowledge about the formation of physical culture of a person, it should be noted that these components were completely correlated with the lifestyle and type of life of people: physical culture and work, physical culture and life, physical culture and leisure, and many others. ... others became the main trajectory for the formation of behavioral habits, the manifestation of physical conditions, and, most importantly, self-realization of a person in the conditions in which his life passed. The lack of physical education in personal development or its inadequacy was often directly correlated with deficient development, a predisposition to diseases, the inability to show one’s potential in life and assimilate the basic socializing functions. In the process of developing scientific psychological knowledge, the need to take into account the gender specificity of a person in the course of his directed physical development became more and more obvious, which required the development of approaches to taking into account gender characteristics in the process of differentiation. This ensured the effectiveness of the process of formation of a person’s physical culture, development and improvement of the need-motivational sphere, the formation of value-semantic attitudes, which determine both progressive physical development and the need for a healthy lifestyle.
