Abstract

Background. The cadets experienced particular difficulties in a pandemic period because due to isolation and faced a number of unanticipated challenges like stress, anxiety, and low learning outcomes. Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sport and traditional games to improve cadets’ learning performance and motivation to learning activities and future service duties. Methods. The pedagogical experiment was organized at the Military Academy (Odesa, Ukraine) during the 2020–2021 academic year. The research group, on the basis of empirical research, designed the leisure time activities program using five categories of exercises: classical sport team games, individual sports, well-known Ukrainian traditional games;unknown foreign traditional games, and martial arts. Results. During 20 weeks the researchers observed EG and CG groups conducting interviews, analyzing cadets’ behavior, monitoring their learning outcomes. The experiment findings revealed that the usage of sport and traditional games was an effective psychological and pedagogical technique to improve the learning process at the higher military educational establishment. On average, the technology effectiveness showed that qualitative changes by three points more. The largest increases were identified for high (3,6 points) and moderate degrees of effectiveness (7,8 points). At the same time, self-organized or poor-organized leisure leads to minor improvements in psychological condition and cognitive abilities among the cadets. Conclusion. Consequently, the usage of sport and traditional games would be an effective instrument applied in a post-pandemic period at the higher military educational establishments. Also, the study presented the recommendations to implement the games during the learning process at the higher military educational establishments. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.

评估疫情和后疫情时期高等军事教育机构使用体育和传统游戏的有效性

背景。这些学员在疫情期间经历了特别困难，因为他们被隔离，面临着许多意想不到的挑战，如压力、焦虑和学习成绩低下。目的:本研究旨在评估体育及传统游戏对改善学员学习表现及学习活动及未来服务职责的积极性的成效。方法。该教学实验于2020-2021学年在军事学院(乌克兰敖德萨)组织。课题组在实证研究的基础上，利用古典体育团体运动、个人运动、乌克兰知名传统运动、国外不知名传统运动、武术等五大类运动项目，设计了休闲活动方案。结果。在20周的时间里，研究人员观察EG和CG组进行访谈，分析学员的行为，监测他们的学习成果。实验结果表明，体育和传统游戏的使用是一种有效的心理和教学技术，以改善高等军事院校的学习过程。平均而言，技术效能显示质变多了3个百分点。最大的增加被确定为高(3,6分)和中等程度的有效性(7,8分)。与此同时，自组织或无组织的休闲活动对学员心理状况和认知能力的改善作用较小。结论。因此，体育和传统游戏的使用将是大流行病后时期在高等军事教育机构中应用的有效工具。此外，研究还提出了在高等军事教育机构的学习过程中实施游戏的建议。©2021。版权所有。
