Directions of improving physical education of students of higher education institutions

Abstract

Educational law in Ukraine is based on the legislative framework, which is created on the basis of the Constitution of Ukraine. The organization of the educational process in physical education and mass sports in higher education institutions, regardless of subordination, types and forms of ownership, is based on the laws of Ukraine «On Higher Education», «On Education», «On Physical Culture and Sports»; National Doctrine of Education Development; Decree of the President of Ukraine “On Priorities for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports in Ukraine”; Regulations on the Organization of the Educational Process in Higher Education Institutions and other acts on the issues of physical education. The current conditions for Ukraine’s integration into the European system of higher education are the transformation of quantitative indicators of educational services into qualitative ones, which involves revising the content of higher education and filling it with the latest material, introducing modern learning technologies. It can also be considered that an urgent need is to increase students’ interest in the quality of education, to encourage each student to active cognitive activity on the basis of strengthening the role of educational and research work and scientific research.
