ABSTRACT

Introduction: International and national organizations demand a training process that facilitates access to technical knowledge, from modern teaching methods, that is inclusive, equitable and of quality.
Objective: In response to this, the research was aimed at diagnosing the current state of the technical training process of Olympic wrestling.
Materials and methods: For this purpose, a longitudinal study was carried out from 2012 to 2021, selecting 18 managers, 59 wrestlers and 24 coaches as a sample. Two mobile phones were used to record and obtain the images of the combats, from where the observations of the technique were made. The methods used were the dialectical-materialist, as well as those of a theoretical and empirical nature, highlighting the review of documents, the interview, the survey and the observation, while as a verification tool the methodological triangulation, fundamental in the process of describing the object of study.
Results: The applied procedures determined the existence of difficulties in the pedagogical-sports direction, the scientific-technical content system and the analysis of key factors of the technique, especially, with handling of the action model (video library), the video -analysis (execution parameters), the common factor (selection of successful and unsuccessful cases) and working documents (technical sheets and comparison list).
Conclusions: Finally, the guidelines of a didactic model for the trainig of the technique are declared, based on a systemic elaboration of the scientific-technical contents and the analysis of key factors, considering the information and communication technologies (ICT).

Keywords: Technical training process; Olympic wrestling; Direction; Contents; Key factors.

INTRODUCTION

Education must be oriented and designed for the young people who will have to face the challenges of the 2030 decade. This requires: a pedagogical methodology capable of activating critical thinking, awakening creativity and originality, solving complex problems, having cognitive flexibility, valuing emotional intelligence and teamwork, learning to deal with diverse opinions and behaviors and knowing how to make decisions without authoritarian impositions" (Frei, 2021). This position is reaffirmed in the objectives for sustainable development 2020, where number four is pronounced for "Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all" and number nine for building resilient infrastructure, promoting industrialization inclusive and sustainable and foster innovation" (United Nations Organization, 2020).

Educational systems must maintain a work of permanent improvement (Velázquez, 2021). This system has two invariants, the first related to the training of professionals with the highest possible quality indices and the second to strengthen what has been achieved at the highest possible level. This is possible from the development of self-learning skills, the use of new technologies, the various learning resources, independent activity, promoting the role of the entire community and the family in training processes (Saborido, 2021). In this regard, this author himself refers to what is necessary and urgent to attend to diversity (population, individual, cultural differences, making training spaces and times more flexible). This is fulfilled under the principle that the University is also outside the walls and assumes an approach that moves from a didactics centered on teaching to a didactics centered on learning.

With support in the neurological bases for the learning and training of sports technique, Mejía and Zaldívar (2020) state that: in practice, the predominance of traditional methods is observed under a behavioral approach, which barely integrates constructivist methods into the teaching process learning ". The studies carried out by Yánez (2017) and Ibáñez and de Mato (2019) warn in their research contradictions related to the conceptualization and foundation of the training process in the Wrestling in Cuba.

In the current criteria of several authors (García, 2019; Díaz-Canel, 2019; Morales, 2020; Pérez et al., 2020; Guijarro et al., 2020; Navarro et al., 2020; García & Teva, 2021; Gonzalez, 2021; Ros, 2021), it is promoted the pedagogical model of personality development training, based on meaningful learning, of an ecological paradigm, where man is a bio-psychosocial being. In this model, the integrality of the personality formation process recognizes aspects such as:

These criteria allowed the authors to infer the conceptual scheme of the technical training process through the sports activity of the Wrestling and define three dimensions of research: the pedagogical-sports direction of the technique (D1), the scientific-technical content system (D2) and the analysis of key factors in the technique (D3).

Based on the above considerations, the authors of this article set out to diagnose the current state of the technical training process in the sport of Olympic Wrestling. Study that aims to reveal how this sporting activity is developed and to discover, from the current didactic positions, the lines of research useful to the sports pedagogical process for the training of wrestlers and thus contribute to maintaining the performance that has contributed so much to the results of the movement. Cuban sports in the last thirty years.

To carry out this research, the criteria of Hernández et al. (2014), Mesa (2006) and Resolutions No. 210/2007 and No. 2/2018 of the Ministry of Higher Education were taken into account.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The research includes a longitudinal study from 2012 to the present, it is linked to the research line of the Doctorate in Physical Culture Sciences at the University of Matanzas, referring to the "Training and preparation of athletes" and, to it's At the same time, it is associated as a research subtask to the task "Management of sports activity in the social and university environment", which contributes to the "Social Interaction" project. As materials in the diagnosis, the following were used: two mobile phones (IPhone 6) used to record the interviews and the video images of the combats, from where the observations of the technique were made, paper, laser printer, pencils for preparation and completion of surveys.

The authors assume as a general conception of the investigative process the dialectical-materialist method. The scientific method referring to the measured use of theoretical and empirical methods. Among the first, the historical-logical, the analytical-synthetic, the inductive-deductive and the systemic-structural-functional were used; while among the latter, the analysis of documents, the interview, the survey, the observation and the methodological triangulation stand out. The research procedure consisted of: firstly, defining the conceptual research scheme, secondly, making the diagnostic observation platform from which to correlate the investigative results (within and between) the evaluative, practical, and theoretical activities. For this, a non-probabilistic sample (by trial) was used, which included the cross-sectional studies carried out for:

a. Variables in their conceptual and operational definitions, dimensions and indicators.
b. Methodological steps of the training process.
c. Standing offensive technique subgroups.
d. Basic and specific content for the training process.
e. Technical training process: in its variables, dimensions and indicators.

Ethical observation

The researchers committed to:

  1. Provide information to athletes, coaches and managers about the importance of their participation in the investigation that will be carried out.
  2. Explain the objectives pursued with the study.
  3. Clarify questions.
  4. Sign the informed consent on their participation voluntarily. This must be supported by the requirements of capacity, voluntariness, information and understanding. He/she have every right not to participate in the study or to voluntarily withdraw from the study if he/she feel like doing so at any time.
  5. Guarantee that all the information provided by the researcher will be confidential and duly guarded.
  6. Guarantee that the study will not cause harm to the health of athletes.
  7. All the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the editorial committee of the institution that supervises the research. In addition, it stands, in the requirements for the process of training children and young people of the UN and human rights, in the Constitution of the Republic of Cuba (2019), the Scientific Policy of the National Institute of Sport, Physical education and Recreation (Inder in Spanish) (2016) and the positions of the Cuban Federation of Wrestling (FCL in Spanish) in relation to the 2016-2020 Olympic Cycle Improvement System.

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

At first, the results provided by the study are obtained by individual activities. In the case of the evaluative activity (Table 1), through the contrast of the opinions of wrestlers, coaches and managers in the answers given in the surveys and interviews, regarding the training process and specifically on the three dimensions with their respective measurement criteria that were previously determined.

Table 1. - Result of assessment activities on the technical training process

The results denote agreement of the subjects in their criteria of 4.20 (quite significant) on the didactic needs of a process that considers the three dimensions.

D1 and its categories show an evaluation of its theoretical contents (ECT in Spanish) of five (very significant). The components of D1 and their categories are reported below:

In D2, the following are evident: the external and internal component of the technique, the system of norms and relationships, the knowledge and capacities system, the system of habits and skills, and the experience system in creative activity, manifest in the ECT of five (very significant).

However, difficulties are observed in something essential such as D3 with 29.1 % of the criteria with difficulties in managing subdimensions such as: the action model (video library), the video-analysis (execution parameters), the factor common (selection of successful and unsuccessful cases), working documents (technical sheets and comparison list). It is an achievement that the selected sample recognizes the 32 elements that make up the process in its dimensions, indicators, categories and observation units.

In the case of the theoretical activity (Table 2), the results of the document analysis allowed us to verify that, for the D1 with a very significant ECT of five, there is a verticality to carry out the training process. Regarding the D2 and D3, the ECT lacks a reference system, model representations and theoretical models that favor the analysis of the technique, which does not allow having an action model, makes video-analysis difficult, nor is it counted. with the common factors and working documents that allow the explanation of this. It was possible to demonstrate the absence of content that explains the technical training process, these do not have a defined structure, the existence of scattered and unrelated criteria in the same bibliography, which does not favor its didactics. In general, the study denotes an ECT of 0.92 that is not significant for the training process, given that only 36 of the 194 measurement criteria that were delimited were met.

Legend: PIPDL (Comprehensive Program for the Preparation of the Wrestling Athlete), PC (Class Plan).

In the practical activity, the contents to observe in the pedagogical management have an ECT of 1.52 (not very significant). The most relevant insufficiencies are found in the ECT of D3 with a value of 0, as no evidence is found for its indicators, categories and observable units. Units of the technical training process without declared didactic structure are recognized, however it is very favorable that the 32 observation units are fulfilled (Table 3).

Legend: OUDT (Observation of the Teaching Units of the Technique), OEAT (Observation of the Executions of the Technical Actions).

The result of the methodological triangulation according to the criteria of Barrera (2004) on the diagnosis, considers this a method aimed at obtaining rigorous and scientific knowledge of the field of action, its limitations and insufficiencies; as well as achievements and strengths of the current state, which must determine the possibilities of development. The same, in the theoretical, practical and evaluative activity (table 4) allows to appreciate the recognition of the 32 contents of the process and its 194 measurement criteria necessary for technical training (Table 4).

Table 4. - Results of the methodological triangulation

Legend: CM (Measurement Criteria).

In the results provided by the methodological triangulation, the following regularities can be seen:

Direction dimension: this reflects, from the document analysis method, when contrasting the information of the PIPDL and the lesson plans for the direction of the ways of teaching, of learning and the didactic unit, the use of the method of oral tradition that derives in command and command, as a form of pedagogical management for training in technical execution. These criteria correspond to the insufficiencies observed in the management of technique in competitions and to the needs assessed by wrestlers, coaches and managers through surveys and interviews.

Content Dimension: in this case, from the document analysis method, it was possible to demonstrate the absence of the didactic requirement of a scientific-technical content system applied to the formation of the external component of the technique, knowledge system where the referential system, theoretical model, its phases, specific and basic contents to be able to explain the technique, criteria that prove to be necessary for the analyzes obtained by the method of observation in the management of the class and the technique in the competitions, as well as the evaluations of fighters, trainers and managers, collected by surveys and interviews.

Dimension analysis of key factors: evidenced from the analysis of documents the non-existence of a study from the didactic criteria that reflect the model of action, the video-analysis, the common factor and the working documents, aspects necessary to correct the errors detected with the method of observation in the management of the class and of the technique in the competition. Contents required by the respondents and interviewees, this to contribute to the formation of the motor representation from the feedback of the technique executed by the fighter, evidence of the reflection of the state of the internal component of the technique in the methodological step entry and grab at the waist pelvic

The results obtained in the diagnosis correspond to the general requirements for the pedagogical models of Navarro et al. (2020), criteria related to the process, dimensions and subdimensions. They meet the requirements of the formative evaluation demanded by Pérez et al. (2020) and, at the same time, following the recommendations of Ros (2021), they are feasible for the treatment of current and future challenges of physical activity and sport.

Taking into account the assessments of López et al. (2017) on the teaching-learning process of the Olympic wrestling, highlight the coincidences in the findings of the D1 in which these authors show difficulties in the methodological procedures for individual work and the leading role of the student, the management style of the single command and its influences on the diagnosis, planning, execution and control of TLP, which is synthesized in a traditional direction of the same. Elements that harmonize with the present study which defines this dimension with limitations in the direction of the didactic unit, the ways of learning and teaching by the use of the method of oral tradition, which derives in command and command, as a way of pedagogical management for training in technical execution.

In the case of D2, these authors found an imbalance in the treatment of the preparation components, affecting the performance of training planning. Inconsistencies are evident in the educational work and the formation of values, little knowledge and treatment of the rules. These results coincide with the present investigation by demonstrating the absence of didactic requirements reflected in a system of scientific-technical contents applied to the formation of the external component of the technique and of a knowledge system where the referential, the theoretical model, its phases, specific and basic contents to be able to explain the technique. Criteria that coincide with those of Yánez (2017) for the development of technical-tactical skills.

In the case of D3, the aforementioned authors state in their studies that there is confusion regarding the TLP components (organization, procedures, evaluation and control), in the development of skills during the execution of the TLP and in the direction of the competitions. Elements that agree with the results of the present investigation, since no study was found from the didactic criteria that reflect the action model, the video-analysis, the common factor and the working documents. These aspects are necessary to correct the errors detected with the method of observation in class management and technique in competition.

The results agree with those obtained by Yánez (2017) and Ibáñez and Matos (2019), in their research on the control of technical-tactical actions. These manifest the existence of deficiencies in the orientation, logic and internal structure of the combat, little analysis and monitoring of the control of the technical-tactical actions and the non-existence of a regular, standardized or scientifically regulated system for the control of the aforementioned actions. during combat. Elements that are confirmed with the results of this diagnosis.

The diagnosis allowed to reveal how this sport activity is developed and to discover from the current didactic positions, useful to the sport pedagogical process for the training of the fighters. To this is added that the contrast of the information (theoretical, practical and assessment), makes evident the need for a didactic model for the formation of the technique in the fights that takes into account the dimensions (D), sub-dimensions and indicators following:

D1- Pedagogical-sports direction. It understands the orientation related to the links between the subdimensions:

D2- Scientific-technical content system. It is the current state of applied and specific knowledge of sports activity, it covers the following sub-dimensions:

D3- Analysis of key factors. Aspect related to how to organize practical work with new technologies with the contents of observation of the execution of the technique in its subdimensions:

Finally, the applied procedures determined the existence of difficulties in the pedagogical-sports direction, the scientific-technical content system and the analysis of key factors of the technique, especially, with handling of the action model (video library), the video -analysis (execution parameters), the common factor (selection of successful and unsuccessful cases) and working documents (technical sheets and comparison list). As a solution, a model is foreseen that allows to contribute to the formation process of the technique in the direction of a process, based on a systemic elaboration of the scientific-technical contents and an analysis of key factors, supported by the information technologies and the communication. This, made in response to the didactic requirements of verticality, horizontality, affordability, scientificity and timeliness, required as quality criteria, which would enhance the innovation, creativity and improvisation of the wrestler, in the changing conditions of combat (unexpected and not planned actions of the opponent).
