Динаміка методичної підготовленості курсантів у процесі оптимізації фізичної підготовки

Actuality. A large number of specialists take part in the process of physical training of servicemen, but the leading place in this belongs to the unit commanders. Preparedness of unit commanders for the duties of the leaders of physical training forms begins at the higher military education institutions (HMEI) in the process of physical training. Methodological skills-formation among graduates of the HMEI is a direct contribution to the methodological provision of physical training in troops, a prerequisite for the excellent physical training, which is a component of combat training. In scientific works by O. M. Loyik (2000, 2012), O. M. Olkhovyi (2005–2014), Ye. D. Anokhin (2010), S. V. Romanchuk (2015) and others, it is noted that the process of physical fitness level of cadets in HMEI is reduced to the formation of physical features. The purpose of the study – to experimentally verify the effectiveness of the author’s program of the methodological component of the discipline «Physical Education and Special Physical Training» for the cadets of HMEI for the methodological skills-formation among future unit commanders. Methodology of the study – organized a four-year pedagogical experiment. Sixty cadets participated in it (experimental group, n=30; control group, n=30). The effectiveness of the experimental concept was determined using changes in the indicators of methodological and theoretical training of cadets. The Results of the Study. The results of the pedagogical experiment, which prove the effectiveness of the author’s program of methodological preparation, were considered. It was determined that during the study at HMEI the results of the dynamics of the average level of methodological preparedness of control group cadets improved by 0,3 points (from 3,7 to 4,0 points), while no significant changes occurred (t=1,28; р>0,05). It was proved that at the end of the experiment, the level of methodological preparation among graduate cadets of the experimental group is 1,0 point, in comparison with the initial level (from 3,6 to 4,6 points), that is statistically significant (t=4,38; р<0,001). Conclusions. The program of improving the methodological preparation in the process of physical training in HMEI is recommended to be used during the training of cadets of HMEI.
