Студентська молодь у всіх країнах світу, в тому числі і Україні, становить одну з найбільш соціально активних і суспільно значущих груп суспільства. На основі результатів отриманого аналізу були виділені найбільш актуальні соціально-педагогічні проблеми студентської молоді, сформульовано відповідні задачі, спрямовані на їх подолання, і виділені критерії, що дозволяють судити про ефективність вирішення цих завдань. Всі вони використовуються в педагогічному процесі нашого ВУЗу.
Students all over the world, including Ukraine, is one of the most socially active and socially significant groups in society. The formation of the social potential of the young generation is in the process of learning the functions and roles that are accepted in the given social environment. This is an environment (family, peers, school, etc.) should create optimal conditions for disclosure and development of all components of the youth potential to achieve the greatest efficiency of its formation. Systematic physical activity during the period of study at the university was largely designed to promote the formation and improvement of valuable qualities and personality traits. Rational use of youth potential is in the process of social reproduction and its performance is determined by the directions and ways of realizing this potential. Based on the results obtained of the analysis we have selected the most urgent socio-pedagogical problems of students, formulated the corresponding problems to overcome them, and highlighted the criteria to judge the effectiveness of these tasks. All of them are used in the pedagogical process of our University. The Department of physical education, sport and health of the Mariupol humanitarian University have developed a socially-oriented system of physical education students. This program includes all performance criteria and can serve as a basis for further implementation at the regional level, to promote physical culture among young people. The results of the study showed that the current teaching programs in physical education should be tailored to the needs of students of a particular University.
