Pedagogical diagnostics of theoretical knowledge of higher school students in the field of physical training

The results of the research ofthe level of students' theoretical knowledge in the field of physical training are considered in the article. It is shown that there is a greatamount of new knowledge in the physical training sphere of its interrelation with the general culture, of its values and functions variety.However, this knowledge is not used to the full extent in sports practice, which is deprived of the support on principles of congruity toculture. Research of the level of students' sports knowledge will promote correction of the educational process in physical training inhigher school, in particular, by strengthening its educational orientation. Students of 1-4 courses of special (738 people) and basic medical(753 people) groups of Tomsk State Pedagogical University took part in the research. The research is based on a questionnaire concerningthe theory and physical training technique. The results of testing of theoretical knowledge of the special medical group studentsdemonstrate that students of the 1st course have a very low level of theoretical knowledge in the field of physical training. At the sametime, it is necessary to notice that by the 4th course students of the special medical group get certain theoretical knowledge in the courseof physical training. Students of the special medical group have shown the least level of knowledge concerning the essence of physicaltraining, its social-biological bases and the technique of independent physical exercises. As a result of the research, it is revealed that thelevel of theoretical knowledge of the basic group students is higher authentically by almost all the tested indicators than the knowledgeof the special medical group students. Due to the fact that theoretical knowledge in the field of physical training is one of the basic indicatorsof sports erudition, application of innovative approaches to translation of sports values in the educational space of higher school isan important question. One of the innovative approaches to the training process is the technology of modular training. Modular trainingallows realizing the activity approach to training; it is expressed in one of its major principles - unity of consciousness and activity. Theactivity approach starts with a position that psychological abilities of the person are a result of transformation of the external subjectactivity in the internal mental activity by consecutive transformations. As a result, the character of their activity organization, primarilythe educational one, defines the personal, social, informative development of students. It is known that knowledge is a part of consciousness.Therefore, formation of knowledge and sports activity is represented as a perspective direction in the increase of sports eruditionof university students.
