Analytical and critical stage (2nd - 3rd years of study) - analysis of literary sources, choice of research subject, collection of reviewing of literary sources on the chosen subject, first-hand acquaintance with research methods of physical culture and sports, fulfillment of the essay on the subject given; 3. Research stage proper (3 rd -4th years of study)- first-hand acquaintance with methods and instrumental methods of research in the chosen sport, compiling of the research plan during the teaching practice, first-hand acquaintance with mathematical statistics, participation in the conferences on the research done; 4. The final stage (the 4th year of study) - processing of the experimental data with statistic methods, acquaintance with demands to drawing up of essays and graduation papers, drawing up of an essay ( graduation paper ) and its defense. To develop creative abilities of the future specialists and intensify individual training one should make use of discussions among students, business games, modeling of educational and systematic situations and other active methods of teaching.

№ 2 Problems of research work of students specializing in skiing

Methods of teaching skiing at the Institutes of Physical Culture intend to provide students with theoretical information at the lectures and master them at practice. Practice proves this methodic to be not effective as graduates are not make use of the knowledge independently. That's how matters stand with analysis of cinograms, changing of characteristics of skiing track. The same is true with questions of planning the volume and intensity of training loads for athletes with different preparation level, problems of holding study-training sessions in various regions of this country. Besides, many sections of the curriculum are stated only in quality but the questions of making up the estimated-financial documentation of holding study-training sessions and competitions are not included in the least. To improve the quality of training specialists one should include the following sections: interaction of forces while the skier moves, laying out of skiing tracks, moving technique at skiing, high-speed power preparation of the skier, organization and holding of study-training sessions, etc. Mathematical form of the educational material will strongly enrich its contents; open logical inner links between the parts of the curriculum studied and deepen intersubject ties. On the other hand, such a statement of the curricula makes the thinking of the future coach more exact, flexible and logical. Constant usage of figures which are met with in practice, modeling of various situations of competitive and training activity make it possible for the future coach to easily make use of different lotions and designations as they are developed by means of solving numerous tasks.
