Francisco Carvalho; Marcos Onofre; João Mota; Miguel Peralta; Adilson Marques; Ana Quitério; António Rodrigues; Pedro Alves; Wesley O'Brien; João Martins – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Children's motor competence (MC) levels tend to be low, and the investigation of variables that facilitate skillfulness is an important concern. The socioecological model is a useful framework to explore factors that influence MC and to inform the development of targeted interventions. This cross-sectional study aimed to perform an exploratory…

Schott, Nadja; Getchell, Nancy – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Background: Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) frequently have difficulties performing gross motor skills such as the overarm throw. Our study examines the differences in both qualitative and quantitative characteristics of overarm throwing for accuracy between typically developing (TD) and children with DCD. Methods: A total…

Smyrnis, Eleni; Ginns, Paul; Bobis, Janette – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Learning mathematical concepts and procedures typically requires extended cognitive effort, presenting a challenge for many children. People can make tracing actions with the index finger, as well as mimic another's movements, with little or no conscious effort. From the perspective of cognitive load theory, such biologically primary actions may…

Ergül, Ebru; Dogan, Mustafa – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2022
This article seeks to determine how game-based mathematics teaching affects students' success when compared with conventional instruction for the place value concept in primary school. The study was carried out with a convergent/parallel mixed-method research design. The study group consisted of 51 second-grade primary school students and their…

Tsuda, Emi; Chang, Seung Ho – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2019
This article introduces a sequence of movement tasks to teach one-handed sidearm striking with a short implement to preK- to second-grade children. Although one-handed sidearm striking is a complex skill, learning this skill during early childhood would expand future opportunities for children to engage in various lifetime physical activities.

Donica, Denise K.; Massengill, Meghan; Gooden, Mary Jessup – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2018
Literature has indicated conflicting results regarding the relationship between grasp patterns and legible handwriting. Historically, the dynamic tripod grasp was viewed as the gold standard, but more recent literature indicates that grasp may not have as much of an effect on handwriting legibility as once thought. The purpose of this study is to…

Alstot, Andrew E. – Physical Educator, 2018
The practice of peer assessment has been widely recommended for use in physical education (PE) classes. However, it is unknown how accurately students in lower elementary grades can assess peers' performance. Therefore, this study examined the accuracy at which students in lower elementary PE perform peer assessments of a throwing skill. Students…

Montgomery, Ivonne; Zwicker, Jill G. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2020
"Printing Like a Pro!" is a free program to help primary-grade students to print legibly. This pre-test post-test study aimed to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of this program used in a teacher-taught printing club with occupational therapy support. Eleven students in grades 2 and 3 with persistently poor legibility attended the…

Chang, Seung Ho; Ward, Phillip; Goodway, Jacqueline D. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2020
Background: Recent studies have found the effects of improvements in teachers' content knowledge (CK) on enacted pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and student learning outcomes. However, there is little research exploring the relationship between PCK and student learning in an individual fundamental motor skill-based elementary physical…
