The demands of the modern state and society for employees who are ready to constantly learn have made adjustments to the system of modern adult education and served as a catalyst for the development of a system of lifelong education. However, it is necessary to develop the ability for continuous learning and self-education at the stage of studying at a university. The aim of the study: to design and test in the educational process the technology of pedagogical support for the cognitive activity of university students when learning martial arts. Leading approaches to the study of the problem: systemic, competence-based, personal activity-oriented and individually differentiated ones. Research methods: analysis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical sources, scientific periodicals on the topic of research; study of regulatory documentation; pedagogical modeling; empirical methods (participant observation in natural conditions of the educational process, testing, survey, mathematical statistics). The main results of the article: this article presents a scientific and theoretical review of the problem of pedagogical support for students in the educational process in order to develop cognitive activity, the technology of pedagogical support for the cognitive activity of university students in learning martial arts, as well as the results of experimental research proving the effectiveness of the developed technology. The theory of pedagogy of physical education and sports is supplemented with new knowledge about the essence of pedagogical support of students’ cognitive activity, promoting the conscious inclusion of students in the process of self-government (self-knowledge, self-determination, self-organization, self-realization, self-control, self-correction) of psychophysical state to create a personal project. A model of pedagogical support for the cognitive activity of students when learning martial arts at a university has been designed.
