Testing Volitional Qualities For Students Of High Schools Of Secondary School

The article discusses the features of the manifestation of volitional qualities in high school students when performing tasks in the form of test exercises of a different nature. Based on the analysis of scientific and research work on the formation and development of volitional qualities, studies of the mid-education school, studies have been conducted by studies to identify the level of evidence in the performance of test exercises in the lessons of physical education. As test exercises, the researcher took and carried out: holding a dumbbell in front of him (for a while) with an outstretched arm (static mode of operation), work with a dumbbell for biceps with a strong arm for the number of times (dynamic mode of operation), breath holding test (for time). Tables of measurements of volitional component indices were compiled for students with different levels of motor activity (LMA) when performing tasks of a different nature. Indicators of the level of manifestation of volitional qualities of senior pupils in the experiment were assessed by the method of E.P. Shcherbakov.

OCLC -1121105668 psychological and pedagogical literature shows that the problem of will and its formation remains one of the most controversial areas of modern pedagogy and psychology.
Within the framework of upbringing an active life position of each individual, an important place is occupied by the formation and development of the ability for self-active volitional regulation of activity. In recent years, in pedagogy, the problem of the child's personality has been increasingly considered as part of a more general problem of mental regulation of behavior. From a general theoretical point of view, will is rightly considered the pinnacle of the hierarchy of mental regulatory processes [1, pp. 21-25].

THE MAIN FINDINGS AND RESULTS
Many authors consider the will as a certain set of volitional qualities, which characterizes the level of conscious self-regulation of behavior achieved by the individual [

LITERATURE REVIEW
In general, it can be stated that volitional qualities belong to the consideration of the most important in the characterization of the personality. In the works of psychologists, a thorough disclosure of their content is proposed. However, different authors characterize volitional qualities in different ways. In the views of psychologists, there are significant disagreements about the essence, content, quantity and classification of volitional qualities. Even in textbooks on psychology, the essence of volitional qualities is not defined in the same way. Some say that this is a manifestation of will, in others -the ability, in the third -the ability to overcome various difficulties, manage oneself, and the like. In all these works, it is noted that commitment is the ability to make and implement informed, firm and quick decisions. Determination is realized in the choice of the dominant motive and adequate means of achieving the goal set for oneself. Purposefulness is the ability of a person to subordinate his actions to set goals. Being the most important personality trait, purposefulness determines the content and level of formation of other volitional qualities. Initiative is the ability to work creatively by taking actions and deeds on one's own initiative. This is a manifestation of activity, an inner urge to new forms of activity, accompanied by invention, resourcefulness, ingenuity. Self-reliance is the ability of a person to autonomy, independence, the ability to act without outside help [2, pp. [12][13][14].
Various authors identify up to 34 volitional personality traits. The psychology textbook

THE RELEVANCE OF THE RESEARCH
The volitional qualities of each person are formed and developed from the conditions of the surrounding world and environment. Each person throughout his life is faced with one or another difficult obstacles and problems that will need to be overcome. Therefore, taking into account the relevance and practical significance of this problem in the process of his own research, the author made an attempt to assess and study the volitional qualities of high school students when performing test exercises of a different nature.
This formulation of the question is caused by the presence of a close relationship between the level of physical and volitional readiness. According to A.T.Puni, volitional qualities of each person act as a single integral system, but the structure of the elements of this system is not the same for representatives of various sports.
In fact, the author points out that practicing various sports contribute to the formation of clearly defined volitional qualities and their specific combination (structure). The research results of A.A.Artyushenko, S.N.Bubka, and E.P. Shcherbakova emphasize the significant dependence of the level of manifestation of volitional qualities on the nature of physical exercises and the level of physical fitness of students. In this regard, the author proposes to coordinate the process of formation of volitional qualities with the development of specific physical abilities.
According to the author, the study of the features of the manifestation of will in students when performing physical exercises and tasks of a different nature is a necessary condition for substantiating effective means and methods of forming volitional qualities in the process of physical education.

FORMULATION OF WORK GOALS
The aim of the research was to study the features of manifestation of volitional qualities in senior school students with different levels of physical activity and when performing tasks of a different nature. In the process of experimental work, a complex of research methods was used, which included: analysis and generalization of psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of research, ascertaining a pedagogical experiment, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics and comparative analysis.
Schoolchildren 15-17 years old (87 students in total) took part in the experiment.
As test exercises, the researcher took: The American Journal of Social Science and Education Innovations (ISSN -2689-100x) When performing all test exercises, the moment of onset of a feeling of fatigue was recorded based on the subjective reports of the subjects. From that moment to failure, the time of holding the dumbbell and holding the breath in the first and third exercises and the number of movements in the other were taken into account. These indicators were converted into percentages and taken as a quantitative assessment of the volitional component. The validity of this approach to the assessment of the volitional component when performing test exercises takes place in the works of A.B. Voronin.
The level of physical activity was defined as relatively high and relatively low. Pupils with a relatively high level of physical activity, in addition to physical education lessons, were additionally engaged in sports sections and independently. Pupils with a relatively low level of physical activity were engaged in physical exercises only in physical education lessons.
The level of manifestation of volitional qualities among senior pupils was assessed by us according to the method of E.P. Shcherbakov [10, p. 45].

RESEARCH RESULTS
Comparison of the indicators of the volitional component when high school students perform tasks of a different nature (Table 1) indicates the absence of any regularity in terms of age. When performing all test exercises, the indicators of the volitional component in pupils of 15, 16 and 17 years old do not differ much. At the same time, in each age group there are significant differences in equal numbers of these indicators among students with different levels of physical activity.
When performing all test exercises, the indicators of the volitional component are significantly higher in students who, in addition to physical education lessons, are additionally engaged in sports sections and independently. Thus, it can be argued that in the process of doing physical exercises, not only the level of physical abilities, but also the ability to manifest volitional qualities, significantly increases.
Comparison of indicators of the volitional component when performing various test exercises shows the presence of a certain pattern. In particular, it can be argued that, regardless of age and level of physical activity, the ability of students to manifest volitional qualities during breath holding and when performing strength exercise in a static mode is higher than when performing strength exercise in a dynamic mode ( Table 1).

Indicators of the volitional component in students with different levels of motor activity (LMA) when performing tasks of a different nature (%)
№ Nature of the assignment Level of motor activity Age LMA 2 -pupils were engaged in physical exercises only in physical education lessons. So, when holding a dumbbell in front of you (a strength exercise of a static nature), the lowest indicator of willpower was recorded in 17-yearold students with a relatively low level of motor activity (28.5%), the highest among 16-year-old students with a relatively high level of motor activity (35 , 6%).
When performing a test exercise for holding the breath, indicators of the volitional component were recorded at about the same level (from 26.2% to 36.2%). In the same students, when performing a strength exercise of a dynamic nature, the volitional component is significantly lower and ranges from 16.4% among 15-year-old students with a relatively low level of motor activity to 22.4% among 17year-old students with a relatively high level of motor activity.
The obtained data actually confirm the position on the relationship of the volitional sphere of LMA 1 -in addition to physical education lessons, students additionally studied in sports sections and independently.
LMA 2 -students were engaged in physical exercises only in physical education lessons. 3. There were no significant age-related differences in the level of manifestation of volitional qualities of determination, selfcontrol, and perseverance in senior school students. The largest number of students aged 15-17 have an average level of manifestation of volitional qualities (from 26 to 35%). The smallest number of students (3-7%) has a high level of manifestation of volitional qualities. A significant number of high school students have a level of volitional qualities below average (24 -34%) and low (10 -18%).
The research carried out does not exhaust all aspects of the problem under consideration.
The following directions of further work are promising: the study of the main factors affecting the level of manifestation of volitional qualities and the development of a methodology for the formation of the volitional sphere of high school students in the process of physical education, taking into account the peculiarities of manifestation of volitional qualities when performing physical exercises of various orientations.
