DIGITAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE SELECTION AND TRAINING OF YOUNG DRAUGHTS PLAYERS

Abstract

The article discusses issues related to the study of the effectiveness of a digital educational resource in the form of a computer program for the selection and training of children 6-8 years old in the intellectual sport of "draughts (checkers)". The structure and functional features of the created computer program are revealed. The scale of the coefficient of combinational vision has been substantiated, which allows assessing the level of development of combinational vision in young draughts players both during selection in the draughts section and during correction of the training process. To assess the effectiveness of the developed methodology, a pedagogical experiment was used; the significance of differences between the results was calculated using Student's t-test for dependent results. The results obtained in the study showed the effectiveness of using the developed computer program in training and evaluating the development of the combinational vision of young draughtsmen as one of the main indicators of the draughtsman’s ability to make a final strike, leading to the win of the match. The results can be used in the selection process and in the training process in sports sections and draughts (checkers) clubs.
