Correlation between Self-Concept and the Level of Motor Skills in Children
Original language description
The level of motor skills is an important indicator when evaluating children’s readiness for school attendance. The deficit in the area of motor skills can lead to a decrease in children’s activities. Is there a relationship between the level of motor skills and factors of self-concept in children attending lower levels of primary schools? The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between the level of motor skills and factors of self-concept in children attending lower levels of primary schools, especially at the middle school age. The research sample consisted of 300 pupils (149 boys, 151 girls) of middle school age. The level of motor skills (locomotor and manipulative) was monitored by the TGMD-2 test (Ulrich, 2000). The self-concept factors were measured by using the Piers-Harris questionnaire (Piers & Herzberg, 2009). Based on the results, which were realized within the IGA_PdF_2017_002 project, no significant relationship was detected between the levels of motor skills and self-concept. The importance of the research lies mainly in identifying targeted interventions in the area of children’s motor skills and development of self-concept factors, which can support adaptive behaviour in the first years of compulsory school attendance.
