QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE STUDENTS’ GENERAL BIOLOGICAL COMPETENCES AT A PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2012. Issue 11 (126). P. 80-83

The high quality of education is one of the major factors for the graduating students’ competitiveness. Competences should be formed on the first year of studies. At the department of biomedical studies we introduced the rating system of assessment and of progress’ record. This fact will make it possible to create the most comfortable teaching and education environment. We are sure that such an approach to the system of student learning curve’s evaluation will improve the quality of bachelors’ training.

PECULIARITIES OF THE METHOD OF DETERMINING PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2018. Issue 1 (190). P. 84-88

New possibilities of the method of sigma deviations allowing to study individual features of a person’s physical development are presented. Any person can easily get 23 anthropometric indicators, compare them with the arithmetic mean and the mean square deviation of this indicator, obtained for the corresponding age-and-sex group, and obtain an individual set of sigma deviations of all these indicators. Combining the obtained indices into certain groups, one can analyze the presence of different proportions in the human body (proportionality of bone length, bone thickness, proportion between upper and lower body parts, proportion of development of the thorax, for women - the proportion of development of the breast, the ratio of length of legs and height, the harmony of the development of muscles, the uniformity of fat deposition in the subcutaneous fatty tissue). At the next stage of the study, analyzing the individual set of sigma deviations, an individual comparison standard is selected for each person, with which all 23 indicators are compared. All indicators that differ from this standard by more than one are recognized as deviations from the individual standard. The observed deviations are conditionally subdivided into «advantages» and «shortcomings» of the physique. Knowing the magnitude of the conventional shortcomings (in cm and kg), it is possible to propose an individual program for correcting these deviations with the help of modern methods of metered exercise in order to create a harmonious physique
