ANTHROPOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF PEDAGOGICAL VALEOLOGY

Abstract

In the new conditions of the society development, during a pandemic, the value of health
becomes more relevant. Pedagogical valeology deals with the preservation and strengthening of
health. Therefore, it became necessary to study the problems, tasks of pedagogical valeology and
effective ways to solve them. For this aim, we have studied the anthropological foundations of this
scientific field.
The purpose of this research was to study the anthropological basis of pedagogical valeology,
which, in our opinion, contributes to a deeper understanding of the importance of health in human
life, to determine the ways of further development of this scientific field. This problem is being
studied for the first time in Armenia.
V. B. Kulikov, Yu. I. Salov and others wrote about the need for anthropological research in
pedagogy. J. J. Rousseau, K.D. Ushinsky, and others also refer to this problem. They paid special
attention to the systemic approach in anthropology, which very important in maintaining health.
The ideas of P.F. Kapterev, P.F. Lesgaft are also important for pedagogical valeology. P.F.
Kapterev believed that every teacher should have anthropological knowledge, know physiology,
biology and other sciences in order to contribute to the all-round development of the personality.
P.F. Lesgaft created a system of physical exercises, the concept of medical pedagogical control in
physical education, the use of which in pedagogical valeology will undoubtedly preserve and
strengthen the health of students.
Analysis of the problems, the content of valeological education from the point of view of
anthropology made it possible to define valeological education as an unlimited process for the
formation of integrated knowledge about health.
The anthropological approach in pedagogical valeology emphasizes the unity, integrity of all
types of human health: physical, mental, spiritual.
Anthropologization of pedagogical valeology forms the value of health, the systematic nature
of pedagogical actions to preserve and strengthen health: valeological support, education,
development, etc.

On the basis of the study, it was concluded that for the effective solution of the problems of
pedagogical valeology to strengthen, maintain health, anthropological knowledge is needed, which
will become a solid theoretical basis for this scientific field.
