Sports-oriented model of physical education as a strategy for socialization of children with hearing impairments

Abstract

The crisis of traditional and formally inclusive approaches in physical education of children with hearing impairments actualizes the search for innovative technologies capable of ensuring real social integration. The purpose of the study is to scientifically substantiate the effectiveness of implementing a sports-oriented model of physical education (sportization) as a strategic tool for socializing schoolchildren with sensory impairments. Methods of research: system analysis, theoretical generalization, comparative SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). Results of research. A strategic analysis of the implementation of a sectional (club) form of organizing classes instead of the traditional classroom system was carried out. It was determined that the sports-oriented model is based on an activity paradigm, where socialization occurs through a common goal and achieving a result. The results of the SWOT analysis showed that the strengths of the model (high internal motivation, formation of team spirit, objectivity of assessment) and opportunities (overcoming complexes, professional orientation in Deaflympic sports) significantly outweigh organizational risks. It was established that sport acts as a universal language of non-verbal communication, which eliminates communication barriers and contributes to the formation of leadership qualities. Conclusions. It is proven that a sports-oriented approach is the most adaptive strategy that allows combining corrective potential with successful integration into society, transforming physical education from a duty into a need.
