Gross Motor Skill

Improving gross motor skill in early childhood education is very important. However, few qualitative studies have investigated teachers’ experience of teaching gross motor skill with obese children. The purpose of this present study is to explore the early childhood educators’ experiences of teaching gross motor skill children with obesity from six kindergartens in the Yogyakarta district. Nine teachers participated in this study. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews. Data also were qualitatively analyzed using the phenomenological study with the Moustakas model. Four thematic categories emerged: positive perception; flexibility; diverse role, and barriers. Teachers described the feeling when teaching gross motor for obese children, the flexibility of gross motor teaching. Teachers also expressed how the role was used for obese children and having barriers faced by teachers. Implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations are made for future research.

Childhood Education

Individuals’ capacities to contribute to more sustainable living are deeply influenced by their early life experiences. Hence, there is a need to discover which experiences are relevant to young children’s contemporary and future contributions to more sustainable living. Perceiving children as aesthetically oriented to the world and their sense of belonging as a core experience for social and cultural sustainability, and using the example of dancing, we investigate how such a sense of belonging can be supported through aesthetic first-person experiences. This article is therefore structured around the following research question: How can adults’ experiences of themselves, others and their sense of belonging—when dancing—inform explorations of ways to foster embodied and aesthetic belonging for social and cultural sustainability in early childhood education (ECE)? Drawing on a phenomenological study, we analyse interviews with four dancers, who differ in age, gender and dance genre. Our analysis reveals their experiences when dancing as being in a meditative state, having a sense of freedom and feeling body and mind as one, described as an overall “different”, resilient way of being and belonging in a social context. Our findings indicate that facilitating moments of sensible and bodily awareness can support a non-verbal understanding of oneself and others, as well as arguments for promoting aesthetic experiences while dancing as relevant to sustainable practices in ECE.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the independence of reaction time (RT) and movement time (MT) in a gross motor skill, the racing start in swimming. RT and MT were quantified for each S by counting frames of film for five trials. The Pearson product-moment coefficient of –.231 ( p > .05) between means indicated that RT and MT were independent factors.
