Abstract

The article analyses the problem of forming a sustainable interest in physical education among primary school students. The article examines the actual aspects related to teaching physical education in primary school and identifies the main factors that influence the formation of students' interest in physical education. The article considers pedagogical methods and strategies aimed at increasing students' interest in physical exercises, studying the impact of physical activity on the physical and psychological health of primary school students, and developing a positive attitude towards an active lifestyle.

Based on theoretical approaches to the psychological and pedagogical education of children and analysis of empirical data obtained as a result of pedagogical experiments, special attention is paid to the development of effective methods and means aimed at maintaining students' interest in regular physical exercise and healthy lifestyles.

The importance of the practical aspect of the teacher's work on forming an interest in physical activity is emphasized, and recommendations are given on the use of game methods, competitions, and interactive activities to arouse students' interest. It is noted that at each lesson, or event, the teacher should create an atmosphere of success, joy, and happiness and be sure to support students in their efforts. The importance of a systematic approach to physical education, which takes into account not only lessons but also extracurricular activities, where the main actors are parents of primary school students, is emphasized.  In this context, parents' responsibility for their children's physical education includes organizing extracurricular activities (morning exercises and homework, organizing children's recreation in the place of residence, involvement in sports clubs, personal hygiene and hardening) and setting a personal example of physical activity and healthy lifestyle. It is concluded that to form a sustainable interest in physical education among primary school students, it is necessary to comprehensively use appropriate psychological and pedagogical means, with a special emphasis on cooperation between family and school.
