Abstract
This research was conducted for the purpose of analyzing the effect of the movement education program through a 12-week-coordination on the development of basic motor movements of pre-school children. A total of 78 students of pre-school period, 38 of whom were in the experimental and 40 of whom were in the control group, were incorporated into the study in line with their own consent after their families had also been informed. During the research period, the experimental research model with a - post-test control group was used. In order to determine the effect of the movement education program through coordination on children; agility, swiftness, standing long jump tests as well as the tests concerned with throwing a tennis ball, sprinting (speed running), flexibility, vertical jump, and running coordination tests and flamingo balance motor performance tests were performed. In the analysis of the data, the independent t package program was used to find out the difference between the experimental and control groups, whereas to find out the experimental and control intra-group differences, the paired samples t statistical package program was used. As for the statistical results - between the pre-test values of the groups and the pre- and post-test values of the control group, no significant difference was found in any of the variables, Whereas, between the post-test values of the groups and the pre-and post-test average values of the experimental group, significant differences at different levels were found in favour of the experimental and the post-test during the motor performance tests. Consequently; it follows that the movement education program through coordination, which has been planned and prepared for long-term practices and in which children's activities during practices are enhanced, will enable pre-school children to develop their basic motor movements as well as bringing them to the point at which they will be available for the next upper educational degree as having ensured their psycho-motor development phases.
Highlights
The effects of the advancements and developments in science and technology and in educational and social sciences, which are among the current study fields in recent years, are reflected on the fields of sports sciences and movement education
The subjects selected for the research were identified through a random selection in line with the objective of the research, and these subjects comprised a total of 78 students, 38 of whom belonged to the experimental group and 40 of whom belonged to the control group in which there were students enrolled in the pre-school educational institutes as well as those without any attendance problems
During the research; the movement education program through coordination was applied to the experimental group during the lessons involving movement and game activities included in the pre-school program for 12 weeks in the form of 2 days and 4 course hours a week
Summary
The effects of the advancements and developments in science and technology and in educational and social sciences, which are among the current study fields in recent years, are reflected on the fields of sports sciences and movement education. With the increasing complexity of the movement, the coordination level that is needed for the performance is important, and the coordinative skills are classified as the motor learning, motor guiding, motor adaptation and changing skills [4, 5]. It was aimed that the effect of movement education method through coordination on the basic motor movements of pre-school children be put forward in order to facilitate skill acquisition and to prepare the children for becoming versatile for the upper educational level by means of developing their larger and smaller muscle groups of the psycho-motor field during the lessons involving movement and game activities included in the pre-school educational program. Coordination is practised and the control group in which this method is not practised in terms of the development of basic motor movements?
