Methodological principles and methodical approaches to the monitoringof the students' health and health saving activity of educational organizations
The main normative and legal documents of the federal level that determine the requirements to the level of health of students and the organization of health-saving activities in the education system are in contradiction with its real state. This determines the need to analyze those key factors in the way of life, the learning environment, and the social and organizational approaches that have led to a deterioration in the health of all participants in the educational process.Methodology and methods of research. Analytical-synthetic and critical approaches to the analysis of literature and own data on the state of health of students and the methods of its evaluation, as well as documents regulating this activity were used.Results of the research. Problems of the organizational and normative plan that contribute to reducing the health of students and pupils are indicated. The definition of health-saving activity in the education system is given and the main tasks of its implementation are determined. The most informative criterion for assessing the effectiveness of the healthsaving activity of an educational institution is the level of health of all participants in the educational process. Methodological approaches to the modern understanding of health as a holistic model, including physical, mental and social and moral components, that change in the process of individual development, and their relationship to the environment (ecological and social) are presented. The characteristics of each of the components of health are given and the criteria and indicators characterizing them are pointed out. To this end, it is proposed to monitor the main indicators of health, which is a dynamic quantitative screening of the diagnosis of the level of socio-psychological adaptation of a person to different living conditions. It is described the author's methodology for assessing the physical and mental health and safety of participants in the educational process, presented in the form of an e-passport, analyzed its merits and useability for describing the effectiveness of healthsaving activities, and also identified the necessary competencies for teachers to implement them.Conclusion. Presented in this article, methodological justifications and methodological approaches for health monitoring and screening allow one of the main tasks laid down in the Law on Education to carry out an objective assessment of the health of subjects of the educational process and the effectiveness of the health-saving activity of the educational organization.
