General Data

Some research focused on physical and sensory accessibility in playgrounds bring some evidence that this is a place that should be thought of for all children, in public spaces and schools. However, little is yet discussed about accessibility or strategies for structuring spaces that support the development of children with intellectual disabilities. Among the existing studies there are relatively few studies that seek to observe children in natural conditions, paying attention to the child's spontaneity and without guidance from the researcher. This study aimed to explore the possible impacts of playground use on the behavior of a child with intellectual disabilities. The methodology used corresponded to ethology. For purposes of analysis, establishments, categories, toys and equipment, social interactions and motor skills were used. In general, data analysis suggested a tendency for the child to play alone instead of exploring playground equipment, as well as to perform few manipulative skills, privileging locomotion. These results suggest the need to rethink proposals aimed at early childhood education based on inclusive contexts. It is essential that teachers participate in the planning and structuring of spaces for early childhood education, especially in an inclusive perspective.

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) teachers have a central role in supporting young children’s physical activity (PA) and overall development in the early years. However, the value of early childhood education teacher training (ECETT) programmes is not widely understood. This study aimed to investigate pre-service teachers’ perceptions of perceived competence when (1) supporting a child’s PA, (2) teaching PE, and (3) observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. These self-evaluations were compared with a range of individual, educational, and behavioural characteristics. Final-year Bachelor degree pre-service teachers (n = 274; 54%) from seven universities in Finland participated in the self-report questionnaire. The results of the linear regression models showed that the relevant PE studies and previous experiences of pre-service teachers predicted higher perceived competence of supporting a child’s PA, teaching PE, and observing and assessing a child’s motor skills and PA. Thus, the study findings demonstrated how teacher training could positively influence perceptions and attitudes to increase a person’s perceived competence when implementing PE in the early years. Overall, results reinforce the importance of PE in ECETT, and the time devoted to this syllabus area should be maintained or increased.

The development of psychomotor skills in childhood enables children to organise the outside world through their bodies, contributing to their intellectual, affective, and social development. The present study aimed to longitudinally evaluate the psychomotor profile, throughout three academic years, of 3, 4 and 5-year-olds belonging to the second cycle of infant school, relating it descriptively to academic performance. The sample consisted of 82 subjects aged between 3 and 6 years throughout the study. The distribution of the sample was homogeneous, with 47.6% boys (n = 39) and 52.4% girls (n = 43). The results not only highlight the importance of the development and stimulation of motor skills from an early age for the overall development of the child, but also, when related to previous studies, show how they influence the development of human beings in adulthood.

El potencial de la motricidad en Educación Infantil podría verse afectado por diversos factores, como la actitud de los docentes hacia el trabajo motor en Educación Infantil o su práctica de ejercicio físico. Por esta razón, el objetivo fue conocer los hábitos y motivos de práctica de ejercicio físico de los futuros docentes, comprobando si ello incide en el valor otorgado al desarrollo de la motricidad en Educación Infantil. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 196 estudiantes de los tres primeros cursos del Grado de Maestro en Educación Infantil, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 22 años. Para conocer sus motivos de práctica de ejercicio físico, completaron la Escala de Medida de los Motivos para la Actividad Física-Revisada. Además, se conoció su opinión respecto a la utilidad de la motricidad en Educación Infantil para el futuro de los niños, y a los aspectos a los que más contribuye la motricidad, así como su hábito de ejercicio físico. Los estudiantes de segundo y tercer curso son quienes consideran más útiles las clases de Educación Física. La mayoría practican ejercicio físico por motivos de fitness y disfrute. Se hallaron correlaciones positivas entre la subescala fitness y la utilidad otorgado a las clases de motricidad. Es posible concluir, por tanto, la alta importancia de las clases de Educación Física en Educación Infantil según los futuros docentes, así como la necesidad de promocionar la práctica de ejercicio físico entre éstos con el propósito de aumentar esta valoración, debido a los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo.Abstract. The potential of motor skills in Early Childhood Education could be affected by several factors, such as teachers’ attitude towards motor development in pre-schoolers or their physical exercise habits. For that reason, the aim was to know future teachers’ habits and motives to do physical exercise, assessing if this affects the value that teachers give to the development of psychomotricity in this stage. The sample was composed of 196 undergraduates from the first three years of the Degree in Early Childhood Education, aged between 18 and 21 years old. In order to know their reasons for doing physical exercise, they filled the Motives for Physical Activity Measure-Revised. In addition, their opinions regarding the usefulness of Physical Education lessons for the future of preschoolers, and the aspects to which motor skills contribute the most, were revealed, as well as their physical exercise habits. Undergraduates belonging to the second and third year were those who considered Physical Education lessons as more useful. The great majority of students did physical exercise for reasons such as fitness and enjoyment. Positive correlations were found between the fitness subscale and the usefulness given to Physical Education lessons by undergraduates. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that Physical Education lessons have great importance in Early Childhood Education according to future teachers. Furthermore, taking these findings into account, the need to promote physical exercise among them is also highlighted, with the aim of increasing the value of psychomotricity.

In line with the theories which write that motion can help improve cognitive abilities, the golden age of formation is at the age of 5-6 years. The sample taken was early childhood education, with the aim of the study was to see the influence of basic movement skills on cognitive abilities. The research method uses experiment. Basic movement skills become a stimulant to help improve basic movement skills. With a sample size of 28 people who were divided into 2 groups, it was found that children with high basic motor skills were in line with children's cognitive abilities. Based on the results of the study, it is hoped that the kindergarten / early childhood education level units will make movement skills the focus that is applied to the curriculum.

The development of motor functions is one of the dimensions of early childhood development that is important to note among other development dimensions. This is a fundamental part of the child's need to develop muscle, brain, and nerves, which is one of the basic developments at a later stage. Therefore, this dimension needs to get appropriate stimulation in accordance with the stages of child development, so that stimulation is given with the right portion. One of the most effective ways to develop children motor skills is through their favorite activities, such as fun and play activities. This paper tries to explain one of the fun activity alternatives that could be used to optimize the motor physical ability of children aged 3-4 years, ie through, among others, throwing ball games. It is hoped that this paper is useful for early childhood education practitioners, as well as parents in developing ways to stimulate the development of motor skills of early childhood through fun activities.
