Застосування Ікт У Наукових Дослідженнях Рухової Активності Дітей З Особливими Освітніми Потребами

The article deals with the possibilities of using information and communication technologies (ICT) in scientific research on the physical activity of children with special educational needs. Modern digital tools for monitoring, collecting, processing, and interpreting data on the physical activity of children with various developmental disabilities have been analyzed. The advantages of using mobile applications, sensor technologies, wearable devices, video-based motion analysis systems, artificial intelligence technologies, and cloud services for organizing pedagogical and biomedical research have been identified. The rationale for using ICT to enhance the objectivity of measurements, automate data collection, and personalize remedial and developmental programs is established. It has been established that digital technologies facilitate more accurate research results, expand the possibilities for remote observation, and ensure effective monitoring of the dynamics of motor development in children with special educational needs. It is noted that a significant proportion of children with special educational needs are characterized by an insufficient level of physical activity, limited participation in sports and recreational activities, and lower physical fitness indicators compared to their peers without special educational needs. This may be attributed to both the specific characteristics of psychophysical development and the insufficient accessibility of an inclusive educational environment, limited opportunities for participation in physical fitness and wellness programs, and a lack of specially adapted methodologies and tools for monitoring physical activity. In this context, the issue of objectively assessing the physical activity of children with special educational needs -and developing effective tools for monitoring it -takes on particular significance. Information and communication technologies significantly expand the possibilities for scientific research on the physical activity of children with special educational needs. Wearable sensors, mobile applications, video analysis systems, and artificial intelligence and virtual reality technologies enable objective monitoring and comprehensive analysis of physical activity. The use of ICT contributes to increased measurement accuracy, the automation of data processing, and the personalization of remedial and developmental programs.
