USING MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF STUDENTS (a case study from St. Petersburg State University of Cinema and Television)
V. I. Gavrilov A. V. Shigabudinov
The use of multimedia technologies in students’ physical education stimulates students’ cognitive sphere and develops their creativity by shifting from the pedagogy of knowledge to the pedagogy of competence. These can be multimedia presentations, on-line tests or educational films. Training films allow students to enhance their knowledge, improve learning efficiency, and develop self-educational and selforganizational skills. The technology developed by our Department of Physical Education for creating educational films by using modern TV and computer hardware and software makes it possible to create instructional videos of various subjects.
The methods of production of educational films are as follows: firstly, the goal of the video, its audience and tasks are defined, then the film script that is to be implemented by the teacher and camera people (students participating in scientific work of the Department) is written.
Examples of applying this technology include the movies produced in 2010 -2011: “People, Sports and Career” (directed by V. Gavrilov), “Strength Training in Arm Wrestling” (directed by V. Tatarentsev), “Teaching Methods for Attacking Techniques in Taekwondo” (directed by A. Shamanin), “Flexibility in Sport Dancing” (directed by E. Chadnova), and the “Student Sport and Recreational Forum of St. Petersburg State University of Cinema and Television” (directed by V. Gavrilov and A. Shigabudinov). With reference to the newly developed academic program for the educational subject of Physical Culture (according to the new educational standard), we will speak about the educational film named “Development of General Cultural Competence by means of Physical Education and Sport” (directed by V. Gavrilov). The film is focused on the problem of forming general cultural competence in higher educational institutions that fully corresponds to the new federal state educational standards.
The film comprehensibly and thoroughly explains what general cultural competence is, and the tasks of a modern teacher involving not only transfer of knowledge but also the development of ability to apply knowledge and skills, i. e. to act. An active person is the one who estimates any kind of work as an indivisible task both for the brain and muscles as a prerequisite condition for creativity. This idea was clearly stated by Pestalozzi, the Swiss teacher and a founding father of this interpretation of education. Physical education is a solid educational component and a major means of development of general cultural competence. The film demonstrates the diversity of physical culture and sports which students can master, thus expanding their skills and improving their performance in various professional activities. The use of the film in the learning process of physical education proves its relevance and timeliness.
We believe that using multimedia technologies in the learning process of physical education allows teachers to get closer to the goal set for teachers by the “Modernization Strategy for Russian Education” which is to raise a multi-sided person and modern expert.
