THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL ASPECT OF RESEARCH INTO PREDISPOSITIONS TO IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP CHILDREN’S SPORTING TALENTS

The relevance of the research lies in the problem of identifying the predisposition and giftedness of children at the sports and recreation and the initial stage of sports training. Federal program “Gifted Children” (2002), the initiative of the President of the Russian Federation “Our New School” (2010), which are mainly focused on identifying, developing and improving gifted children and school-aged children with high special abilities in learning and sporting activities. But, despite the fact that the study of sports giftedness of children has already a long history, primarily psychological and pedagogical, there is no unity not only in the definition of sports giftedness, but also in the theory of children’s sports giftedness, which would provide a holistic view of their giftedness. It should be immediately determined that the subject of our theoretical analysis and practical diagnostics will be sports talent, which has quite a lot of synonyms: psychomotor talent, motor talent, motor ability, physical ability, special ability, talent (B. P. Yakovlev, 2018). These concepts and broad synonyms need to be defined. For the pedagogical community, the most important problems are not so much scientific and experimental research of giftedness, but methods of identification, development and social realization. It is well known that in modern conditions the intellectual and creative resource of the population of a society — along with the demographic, territorial, raw materials, information and technological resources — is the most important basis for its progressive development. It should be noted that the normative legal documents do not touch upon the problem of the development of non-academic, non-sports giftedness of preschool children both in the education system and in the sports system.
