Perceptual-Motor Programs, Movement and Young Children's Needs: Some Challenges for Teachers.
Overview & Synopsis
Examines the use of perceptual-motor programs as physical education in early childhood programs. Contends that low rates of physical activity without variety, little skill instruction, teacher-centered instruction, limited opportunities to develop social skills, and a multiple station format are counterproductive to motor skill development and physical activity enjoyment. Presents guidelines to assist teachers in recognizing appropriate physical education practices. (KDFB)
