The Impact

The article deals with the problem of the influence of distance learning on the level of physical fitness of students. The use of modern information and communication technologies has led to the creation of a new educational environment, which, as part of the training, has provided students with the opportunity to independently acquire knowledge in the context of constantly updated information. The discipline «Physical Education» is one of the main practical classes in the university program, and in order to assess how the new proposed training conditions will affect the quality of physical fitness of students, we will conduct a study within the framework of physical education classes. The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of distance learning on the level of physical fitness of students. Objectives of the study: to consider the content of distance learning, to analyze the passing of the standard running 100 m., to conduct an experiment and check the impact of distance learning on the level of physical fitness of students, to draw conclusions and make recommendations. The research methods are the generalization of scientific and methodological literature, the method of mathematical statistics, and the pedagogical experiment. Organization and results of the study. The study was conducted with students of the 1st year of full-time study at the Perm State Technical University. As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that during distance learning, the theoretical part of the students mastered better, and in the practical part (running 100 m.), the results deteriorated, since most of the physical culture program was presented in the form of theoretical and methodological-practical sections, and there was no possibility of active and systematic running, mastering technical and tactical training techniques and improving them.

Attention To Diversity

Los materiales didácticos de la escuela son tema de interés de la comunidad educativa. Instituciones públicas y privadas, vienen promoviendo la recopilación de materiales y recursos en bibliotecas, repositorios, bases de recursos, etc. La incorporación de las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación (TIC) han impulsado la aparición de webs, plataformas digitales donde administración, editoriales, colectivos sociales recogen ingentes cantidades de materiales, gratuitos o de pago, pueden ser utilizados en el contexto educativo. De esta inercia también participa el área de Educación Física (EF), que ha visto cómo nuevos materiales introducen oportunidades para atender a la diversidad de alumnado. En este artículo, se presenta una reflexión sobre la necesidad de proporcionar en EF materiales digitales que faciliten la inclusión de todos los estudiantes en un proceso de aprendizaje colectivo óptimo para su progreso personal y social, lo que exige su rigurosa evaluación y análisis. Por este motivo, se proporcionan pautas y un ejemplo de qué y cómo evaluar un material para estudiantes de 5º de Primaria de EF recogido en la plataforma Abalar de la Consellería de Educación, Cultura y Deporte de la Xunta de Galicia.Abstract. School teaching materials are subject of interest in the educational community. Public and private institutions, have been promoting the collection of materials and resources in libraries, repositories, database resources, etc. The incorporation of the Information and Communication Technologies and (ICT) have promoted the emergence of websites, digital platforms where administration, publishers, social groups collected huge amounts of materials, free or paid, can be used in the educational context. The area of Physical Education (PE) also participates in this inertia, which has seen how new materials introduce opportunities to attend to the diversity of students. In this article, we present a reflection on the need to provide PE digital materials that facilitate the inclusion of all students in a optimal collective process to learn for their personal and social progress, which requires its rigorous evaluation and analysis. For this reason, guidelines are provided and an example of what and how to evaluate an educational material for elementary students, picked up on the site Abalar of the educational authority.
