Intervenção motora na educação infantil: um incremento para o desenvolvimento

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of motor intervention on the motor development of infants attending a kindergarten in the city of Uruguaiana / RS. A study was performed with 23 babies between 8 and 16 months of age corrected. Inclusion criteria were healthy infants who had not been hospitalized during the intervention period and who had agreed to participate in the study. Na intervention protocol inspired by the Participative Motor Intervention Program Expanding Opportunities (PIMPAO) was carried out with activities such as visual pursuit, toy manipulation and postural control of the baby. The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) scale was also used to measure the motor acquisition of children from zero to eighteen months of age. It was possible to observe that the children of both groups presented evolution of their motor trajectory. A motor intervention program, even if brief, as in the present study, can provide the integral development of children and can be easily incorporated into the routine of early childhood education. The qualification of the team, including teachers and auxiliaries, can have repercussions on practices more appropriate to the integral development of the child.
