Type: article
Abstract: The article explores the integration of Olympic values into primary education as a means of fostering a healthy lifestyle, moral and social qualities in students. The research focuses on the organizational and pedagogical conditions necessary for the effective implementation of Olympic principles in the primary school curriculum. The study analyzes modern educational technologies, including gamification, augmented and virtual reality, STEAM methods, and digital resources, which contribute to a deeper understanding of Olympic ideals. The findings indicate that the incorporation of these technologies enhances students’ engagement, promotes physical activity, and strengthens social interaction. The study also highlights the role of blended learning models, particularly the rotational model, in ensuring a balanced combination of online and offline activities in Olympic education. The experimental study results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. Implementing Olympic values in primary education not only enriches the learning process but also cultivates a personality oriented towards self-improvement, ethical behavior, and lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle. The integration of Olympic education into primary schooling is a promising direction for shaping socially responsible individuals who appreciate teamwork, perseverance, and fair play. The study contributes to the theoretical and practical development of Olympic education, emphasizing its role in modernizing physical education curricula and promoting sustainable educational practices. The conclusions suggest that Olympic values, when properly integrated, provide a holistic approach to personal development, reinforcing both cognitive and socio- emotional skills.
