MECHANISMS OF ORGANIZING SCHOOLCHILDREN'S MOTOR ACTIVITY; INTERESTS, MOTIVES, NEEDS

Abstract

The study revealed the motivating motives of school-age children to engage in physical education. According to the survey, the incentives of children in motor activity and interest in physical exercises were determined. The need to form an effective mechanism for organizing the motor activity of schoolchildren and increasing their motivation by taking into account interests during and after school hours, defining clear criteria for assessing motivation for physical education and various types of motor activity and for its increase was proven. Interest is a form of manifestation of cognitive need, which ensures the orientation of the individual to the realization of the goals of the activity and thereby contributes to orientation, familiarization with new facts, a more complete and deep reflection of reality. Motivation is a system of incentives that determine the activity of the organism and determine its direction. Educational motivation is based on the need that stimulates the cognitive activity of the child, his readiness to master knowledge and skills. Stimulus is an external influence on a person, group, organizational system, which affects the process and results of educational activity. The purpose of the study: to determine the mechanism of organizing the motor activity of school-age children, taking into account their interests, motives and preferences for motor activity. In the process of the study, we used the following methods: analysis of literary sources, the method of sociological survey (questionnaire), pedagogical research methods, pedagogical observation. The reasons for the negative attitude of schoolchildren to physical education lessons were established: these are the shortcomings of material and technical support, insufficient methodological level of conducting classes and lack of interest in classes. In order to correct such a negative attitude, a new methodological approach to physical education is needed, aimed not only at the development of motor abilities, skills and abilities, but also at providing special theoretical knowledge, forming motivation in schoolchildren for physical activity, and educating them in the need for physical self-improvement. It is possible to satisfy the needs for motivation and self-affirmation of students only if the teacher sets goals and tasks that will meet the interests and capabilities of children of different age categories.
