Peculiarities of teaching the theory and methods of gymnastics in the context of distance learning

Online classes in various activities are very popular among the population and the number of types of distance programs is increasing every year. Distance classes in various types of motor activity and gymnastics in particular are popular. The purpose is to develop the course of gymnastics classes aimed at teaching students to conduct a set of exercises for general development in a streaming way. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical observation, survey, methods of mathematical statistics. Before starting the training, it is necessary to determine the readiness of students to learn, namely the basic level of knowledge of students, the teacher and the conditions in which the training will be conducted. It was determined that the basic level of knowledge of students in gymnastic terminology is 6-7 points out of 10. The teacher's readiness implies knowledge of the theory and practice of conducting classes in a streaming way. The conditions for conducting the lesson are distance learning using the Google Meet application. For the lesson, a set of pictures of the starting stands, videos of sets of exercises for general development, a Word document with a table for writing a set of exercises for general development, and an open chat in a video conference were prepared. During distance class, the teacher uses the following techniques: different variants of tasks for students to memorize different terms, their combinations (for this purpose, pictures or photos of starting positions were prepared); verbal description of motor actions (work as a teacher); evaluation of the performance of gymnastic exercises by classmates (video fragments) and self-assessment; theoretical test; verbal regulation of motor actions (showing a set of exercises for general development, video recording); training of students with health problems, taking into account nosology. The following scheme was used for control: viewing 4 new exercises, describing them according to the terminology, identifying keywords, writing keywords, and sounding out the video. All these stages are performed by students independently. Tasks for independent work in accordance with the course of the lesson. Conclusions. The developed scheme of the lesson allows to continue studying and using gymnastic terminology, develops students' memory and encourages them to be more active during the lesson, and not to be afraid to show their creative abilities.
