RESUMENLa coordinación motriz es un proceso evolutivo complejo de adquisición progresiva. La edad óptima para la adquisición de esos procesos coordinativos es de 6 a 11 años (Educación Primaria). El objetivo del presente estudio es diseñar y validar un instrumento que permita evaluar el nivel de coordinación motriz del alumnado.
La valoración de la coordinación motriz en edad temprana es una de las exigencias del profesional de la Educación Física y de los investigadores en este campo. El test 3JS tiene como objetivo evaluar el nivel de coordinación motriz de los niños y niñas de 6 a 11 años. Se realiza un recorrido con 7 tareas de forma consecutiva y sin descanso intermedio: saltos verticales, giro, lanzamientos, golpeos con el pie, carrera de slalom, bote con slalom y conducción sin slalom. En el documento que se presenta a continuación se describen las tareas de la que consta el test, se explica de forma detallada cada uno de los cuatro criterios de valoración cualitativa en cada una de ellas y se presenta una hoja de registro didáctica para evaluar un grupo de niños. Además, se describen las variables de valoración dentro del análisis de los resultados: Nivel de coordinación motriz, de coordinación locomotriz y de coordinación control de objetos (mano y pie) y Ratios y Cocientes para profundizar en el análisis comparativo entre las expresiones de la coordinación. Abstract. Assessment of motor coordination in early ages is one of the requirements for physical education professionals and for researchers in this field. The 3JS test aims to assess motor coordination levels in Primary Education students (aged 6-11). A 7-task path is performed consecutively without between-exercise breaks: vertical jumps, turn, throw, kicking, slalom race, slalom ball handling and no-slalom conduction. This document describes the tasks included in the aforementioned test, explaining in detail each of the four qualitative assessment criteria applied to each of them. Also, a sample Education record sheet employed to assess groups of children is shown. Moreover, evaluation variables for the analysis of results are described: motor coordination levels, locomotor coordination, and object control coordination (hands and feet), in addition to Ratios and quotients so as to carry out further comparative analysis of coordination expressions.
The aim of this research paper was to learn about the most effective Physical Education material resources to improve gross motor development of students aged from 6 to 9 depending on their gender and age. The sample of 982 schoolchildren was divided into three experimental groups according to the type of consumable material and a control group. The TGM-2 test procedure was used by means of a pre-test and a post-test after an intervention lasting 14 sessions. The difference in direct scores in the two areas (locomotor and object control) was higher in the experimental groups (p-value <0.05). This difference is higher with the use of alternative materials, followed by only balls and without balls in both educational stages and in both genders, except for second stage girls where the best results are found in the only balls experimental group of materials.
