Abstract(s)
O presente estudo foi realizado durante a Prática de Ensino Supervisionada (PES), do 2º ano do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar da Universidade do Algarve. Trata-se de uma investigação de cariz quantitativo, que envolveu a participação de dezanove crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 6 anos, em contexto de Jardim de Infância. O objetivo principal desta investigação foi caracterizar a competência motora do grupo de crianças, com intuito de desenvolver uma proposta de intervenção pedagógica no âmbito da Educação Pré-Escolar.
Para alcançar esse objetivo, foi utilizada uma bateria de testes Motor Competence Assessment (MCA). Este instrumento foi aplicado no ambiente escolar, de forma a garantir que as crianças se sentissem confortáveis e pudessem demonstrar as suas habilidades de maneira natural. O MCA abrange três áreas principais de habilidades motoras (estabilização, locomoção e manipulação).
Os resultados revelaram necessidade de uma intervenção nas habilidades motoras das crianças, uma vez que algumas das competências registaram uma percentagem muito baixa face aos valores normativos para a respetiva faixa etária. Especificamente observou-se que a competência de locomoção e manipulação apresentaram resultados muito baixos, nas faixas etárias presentes na investigação. Esta observação é preocupante, pois, conforme destacado por Lubans et al. (2010) a importância de um desenvolvimento equilibrado das diversas habilidades motoras para um crescimento saudável.
Com base nos resultados obtidos, foi proposta uma intervenção pedagógica específica para abordar as competências mais carentes. Esta intervenção visa não só melhorar as habilidades motoras de locomoção e manipulação, mas também promover um desenvolvimento motor mais harmonioso e equilibrado. A expetativa é que estas melhorias contribuam significativamente para o bem-estar geral das crianças.
This study was carried out during the Supervised Teaching Practice (PES) of the 2nd year of the Master's Degree in Pre-School Education at the University of the Algarve. It is a quantitative investigation involving the participation of nineteen children aged between 3 and 6 in a kindergarten setting. The main aim of this research was to characterize the motor skills of the group of children, in order to develop a proposal for pedagogical intervention in the context of pre-school education. To achieve this goal, a Motor Competence Assessment (MCA) test battery was used. This instrument was applied in the school environment to ensure that the children felt comfortable and could demonstrate their skills in a natural way. The MCA covers three main areas of motor skills (stabilization, locomotion and manipulation). The results revealed a need for intervention in the children's motor skills, since some of the competences showed a very low percentage compared to the normative values for the respective age group. Specifically, it was observed that the skills of locomotion and manipulation showed very low results in the age groups investigated. This observation is worrying because, as highlighted by Lubans et al. (2010), the importance of a balanced development of the various motor skills for healthy growth. Based on the results obtained, a specific pedagogical intervention was proposed to address the most lacking skills. This intervention aims not only to improve the motor skills of locomotion and manipulation, but also to promote a more harmonious and balanced motor development. The hope is that these improvements will contribute significantly to the children's general well-being.
