Principles of Pedagogical Monitoring of Health as an Element of Health-Creative Education

摘要

This publication discloses an approach to the organization of pedagogical monitoring of the students' health in the general education system tested by the authors in their studies. The need to support the monitoring of students and teachers in the process of educational activities is due to the social significance of preserving and strengthening the health of the younger generation as one of the determining conditions for improving the quality of life. When determining pedagogical monitoring, the authors proceed from the interpretation of human health as the volume of personal vitality, which is given by nature at birth and used reasonably or unreasonably. This understanding of the definition of health allows us to include health in a set of indicators of a person's culture and consider its condition as a consequence of certain actions of a person in terms of preservation and strengthening. Pedagogical monitoring is provided through the implementation of two groups of principles. On the one hand, they regulate the process of organizing pedagogical monitoring. On the other hand, they contain requirements for the means used to diagnose the health of students. The study proves that students' participation in their health monitoring puts them in the position of subjects of recreational activities, and this is an effective way of forming their habit of taking care of their health.
