Coordination Disorder

The Canadian Little Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (Little DCDQ-CA) is a parent-report screening instrument that identifies 3- to 4-year-old children who may be at risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). We tested the factor structure and criterion validity of the Little DCDQ-CA in a sample of preschool-aged children in the United States ( N = 233). Factor analysis indicated that the DCDQ-CA was best represented by one factor. Using cutoff scores that were proposed by the developer, 45% of the sample was identified as at-risk for DCD. Although a much larger percentage of children was identified as at-risk than would be expected based on the prevalence of formal DCD diagnoses in the population, the Little DCDQ-CA demonstrated good criterion validity. Specifically, compared with their peers, children who exceeded the at-risk criterion demonstrated worse motor competence, executive functioning skills, and early numeracy skills and were rated as having greater ADHD behaviors by their teachers, all consistent with expectations for children who are at risk for DCD. Results are discussed as they relate to future use of the Little DCDQ-CA.

Health literacy is the ability to access, understand, evaluate, and communicate information that promotes, maintains, and improves health care in a variety of settings across the lifespan. Unlike general literacy, health literacy is considered a more dynamic and context-reliant ability because it is comprised of reading comprehension, reasoning, and numeracy skills.

Mathematics is a boring and difficult subject for many learners. The situation challenges mathematics tutors to look for the solution and to change the learners' perception about mathematics — from a frightening subject to an interesting one. Learning mathematics through games is one of the solutions. Games is a creative method that can help to create a more enjoyable atmosphere for the learners to study mathematics. Games also helps the learners memorize better than that of the other methods because the learners are not only passive listeners but they are more involved in the learning.
