Peculiarities of organizing online physical education classes and assessment of learning outcomes in the martial law conditions

Abstract

Purpose. To reveal the peculiarities of the organization and conducting online classes in physical education and assessment of learning outcomes during state of war. The main problematic issues of conducting practical classes in difficult and dangerous conditions during state of war and the differences compared to distance learning and quarantine restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic have been identified. Features of implementation of thematic control in physical education, testing the level of preparedness of students and evaluation of learning results were underlined. The lack of time to learn the program material (the workload according to the schedule is 2 hours per week, an average of four classes per module/topic) does not allow solving the problem of the formation of students' physical culture and health competencies. Therefore, the teachers of the department focus on learning methodological recommendations for the development of basic physical qualities and finding optimal options for organizing and conducting independent classes by students. Conclusions. The quality and effectiveness of conducting online practical classes is affected by the presence of objective factors (the presence of students in a combat zone or in regions of constant enemy fire, the lack of suitable places for classes, which depends on their location, and other circumstances related to hostilities in the country; lack or outages of electricity, Internet and other factors) and subjective reasons (students' motivations, desire to study program material, perform physical exercises to maintain their own health, discipline and self-discipline of the student). Testing of students' preparedness level takes place in extraordinary and not the same conditions for all students. Assessment of learning outcomes is not objective and is based on approximate data.
