Introduction. One of the significant system-forming elements in the psychological structure of sports activity is the cognitive component of the sports culture of the individual, which ensures the effectiveness of the implementation of the cognitive potential of students in their chosen sport [1].
The aim of the study is to experimentally test the effectiveness of the methodology for developing the cognitive component of students ' sports culture in the process of activating educational and cognitive activity in their chosen sport.
Methodology and organization of the study. The authors developed an integral methodology for the development of cognitive abilities, which includes educational and search tasks aimed at quantitative and qualitative analysis and practical solution of technical and tactical problems in the chosen sport. Depending on the degree of complexity of the cognitive tasks to be solved, a set of problem-search methods was used to develop the following cognitive processes: attention (the "Noise Immunity" test), memory (the "Figure Recognition" test), thinking (the "Five" combinatorics test (UPDC-MK). To determine the effectiveness of the developed methodology, the methods of psychometry based on the universal psychodiagnostic complex (UPDK-MK) were used for quantitative and qualitative assessment of the degree of effectiveness of the development of cognitive abilities in order to activate the educational and cognitive activities of student-athletes.
The results of the study and their discussion. At the beginning of the experiment, the CG subjects engaged in basic sports according to the program of the discipline "Professional and Physical Education Improvement", and the EG subjects engaged in the chosen sport according to the program of the discipline "Professional and Sports Improvement", were determined by the average level of development of cognitive abilities according to three diagnostic indicators (attention, memory, thinking), which allowed to identify the cognitive complexity of performing educational tasks when differentiating objects and to develop a cognitive map of sports activity for each student. At the end of the experiment in CG, the level of development of the cognitive component remained at an average level, which indicates the rigidity of the development of cognitive processes. At the same time, a high level of development of cognitive processes was noted in the EG, which made it possible to identify cognitive abilities and determine cognitive-style features of information assimilation in order to develop an individualized program of psychological training of student‑athletes.
Conclusion. Thus, the results of the study indicate the effectiveness of the methodology for the development of the cognitive component of students ' sports culture in the process of activating educational and cognitive activity.
