Assessment of Gross Motor Development in Children Aged 5-6 from The Perspective of Sensory Integration

Abstract

This study aims to establish an evaluation model of gross motor development in children aged 5-6 from the perspective of sensory integration.1. To explore the significance and feasibility of building a gross motor development model for children aged 5-6 from the perspective of sensory integration;2. Determine the Angle of sensory integration to construct gross motor development indicators and weights for children aged 5-6;3. Establish an evaluation model of gross motor development of children aged 5-6 from the perspective of sensory integration, and verify its validity.

The main purpose of this study is to establish and improve the detection tools of children's gross motor development in China, and better understand the health level of children. It can also be integrated into the preschool physical education curriculum to promote the development of children's physical fitness and provide guidance for children's healthy development.

In this study, 450 children aged 5-6 years old in Guangxi, China were selected from 14 cities: Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, Wuzhou, Beihai, Fangchenggang, Qinzhou, Guigang, Yulin, Baise, Hezhou, Hechi, Laibin and Chongzuo.

The research methods include literature review, expert interview, t test, retest test, calibration test, etc., which ensures the scientificity and applicability of the selection system.

Phase 1: Through literature review and expert interviews, the significance and feasibility of building a gross motor development model for children aged 5-6 from the perspective of sensory integration were studied.

This study analyzed the existing motor development theory and sensory integration theory at home and abroad, combined with expert feedback, put forward a preliminary index framework. After literature review and expert interviews, 50 main indicators were finally identified, and this stage laid a solid theoretical foundation for subsequent data collection and analysis.

Phase 2: Using three rounds of Delphi method, pre-test method and project-objective consistency (IOC) method, From the perspective of sensory integration, the evaluation indexes of major movements of children aged 5-6 were determined. Step forward on the balance beam, Horizontal bar suspension move, 4 legs crawl forward, Crawl forward, 10 meters back run, Double hop, Overhand throw, Throw the ball with both hands, Side roll, Lie on your stomach and so on stand up immediately.

Phase 3: Through the Test of large samples, the percentile method was adopted to construct the scoring model of Gross Motor Development grade of children aged 5-6, and the validity of the criterion (Test of Gross motor development-third Edition) was tested.
