Abstract At this time of rapid change in society, what kind of educational role must the physical education curriculum and sports instruction play? As a matter of course, the teacher assesses the ability of the students as a specialized leader of sports and must stretch it out to achieve competitive success. However, if the teacher enthuses about victory in excess, the corporal punishment that can be called violence might be caused (15). In this case, the teacher doesn’t recognize the underlying principle that physical education and sports instruction is vital to the development of rounded human beings as future citizens. Sadly the consciousness of this principle by some educators is missing. For this reason, a return to a basic standpoint of education is proposed, where the physical education class is a core subject of school education. This study proposes further enhancement and development of the physical education curriculum from a viewpoint of pedagogy. In the first half of this study, the definition and meaning of the phrase “fair play” was analyzed in terms of education, and how this phrase was used and meaning it has in Japan was assessed. The key findings were that the phrase “fair play” came to be used gradually in society but the spread of the concept didn’t reach the physical education curriculum. Educationalists seem to have regarded fair play as learning of “knowledge and attitude”, but the process of “thinking” isn’t included in this interpretation. At the same time, it has been understood by some that the real value of the concept of fair play is where the sports practice unit and the physical education theory unit are linked to influence attitudes and social and life skills not only in school life but also the future lives of students as rounded citizens. The concept of fair play which encapsulates such educational value, as essential to human development (formation of character) as a basic principle of all of education, is therefore considered to be one of the major and essential roles of physical education teaching in modern society. The inclusion of the concept of “fair play” in the physica education curriculum will ensure that the learning outcomes seek to develop the long term health and well being of students as future good citizens. This will mean the previous limited focus on improving physical fitness, sports skill acquisition, and competition will be built on thereby equipping students better for their time in school and in future social life.

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of «personal maturity». Personal maturity is defined as a dynamic process of learning new values, making responsible choices, unconditional acceptance of other people, objective awareness of the normative-values image of oneself, the ability to reflect personal qualities, one’s own actions, and the ability for moral self-control of interactions. There are presented a diagnostic method and empirical results of the study. The empirical research was being conducted with authored method of N. Vinnyk. For that the Y. Gilbuh personal maturity questionnaire has been modified and tested. The method consists of five scales: achievement motivation, attitudes towards one’s «I» (the «I» − concept), sense of civic duty, life attitude, the ability for psychological proximity with another person. It was stated that although most students have satisfactory level of personal maturity, quantitative analysis of separate scales has revealed significant shortcomings. So the scale that assesses the «I»-concept, which presents such important characteristics of a person as self-confidence, satisfaction with their own abilities, personality, and their competence have the lowest scores. This was also confirmed by the unstable «too low» life attitude of students. It was noted that the students’ personal maturity is interrelated with their professional self-realization. Activation of formation of the personal maturity of students is possible in conditions of organization of purposeful cognitive activity, in which individual, group and collective forms of work are combined, aimed at the content of awareness and development of responsibility, independence, self-control, emotional maturity, goal-setting and professional self-realization.
