COLLOQUIUM AS AN EFFECTIVE FORM OF INTERMEDIATE KNOWLEDGE TESTING IN THE STUDY OF THE DISCIPLINE “HISTORY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT”

Abstract

The article examines theoretical and practical aspects of using a colloquium as a form of interim assessment of students’ knowledge in the History of Physical Education and Sport course. The pedagogical feasibility of using a colloquium within a competency-based approach to education is substantiated. Features of preparation and conduct of the colloquium, its structure, evaluation criteria, and the impact on the development of students’ critical thinking skills, independent work, and public speaking are analyzed. The results of experimental work are presented, confirming the improvement in the quality of assimilation of educational material and motivation of students when using a colloquium in the educational process. The article contains recommendations for integrating colloquiums into the curriculum of universities specializing in physical education. The research materials can be adapted for other humanities disciplines within the sports education system.
