Background With this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of coordination-based movement education model on the development of balance in five-year-old children. Methods The research was designed with a control group pretest-posttest design, which is one of the quasi-experimental research models. The research group consists of a total of 42 (n=20 experimental n=22 control) five-year-old children formed by using the convenient sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. Each participant’s age, body weight, body length and lower extremity limb lengths were measured. As a data collection tool and used the three-part Y Balance Test (YBT) platform, which was previously stated to have high reliability (ICC=0.85-0.93). Reach distances of the participants were measured in 3 directions, anterior posteromedial and posterolateral. YBT scores were determined by calculating the average and normalized values for lower extremity limb length for each reach direction of the obtained scores, and composite YBT scores were determined by taking the averages of anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reach distance scores. In order to determine whether the collected data are suitable for normal distribution, Levene test was applied first and it was determined that p>0,05 for all parameters as a result of the test. Independent sample T test from parametric tests was used to determine the differences between groups. Paired-group T-test was used to determine within-group differences. Results According to the results of the research, it was found that the balance motor capacity levels between the experimental and control groups did not differ significantly compared to the pre-test, but there was a significant difference in all reach directions scores in favor of the post-test and experimental group compared to the control group and the pre-test. Conclusion As a result, it was concluded that coordination-based movement education model had a positive effect on the balance motor capacities of five-year-old children.

<p>This research aims to determine the basic value levels of students for physical education and sports lessons and to examine them according to various variables. The research has been designed as a descriptive survey model. The universe of the research consists of the students studying at a Secondary School affiliated to the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education. The sample group consists of a total of 908 students studying in Istanbul in the 2020-2021 academic year, who were determined by the purposeful sampling method. The "Physical Education and Sports Lesson Value Scale (PESLVS)" was used as the data collection tool. The data collection tool is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 23 items and 6 subdimensions. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the scale obtained in this research was 0.84. Frequency, percentage, t-test for unrelated samples, and ANOVA were used in the analysis of the data. When the value levels of the students were examined, it was found that there was a significant difference in favor of female students in all dimensions. It was observed that the value levels of secondary school students differed significantly in all dimensions of the scale by grade level, and it was concluded as a result of the comparison between the groups that there was a significant difference in favor of the lower grade levels in all groups. It was concluded that the value levels of the students who played in the school team was higher.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0882/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

With this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of coordination-based movement education model on the development of balance in 5-year-old children. The research was designed with a control group pre-test post-test design, which is one of the quasi-experimental research models. The research group consists of a total of 42 (n = 20 experimental n = 22 control) 5-year-old children formed by using the convenient sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. Each participant’s age, body weight, body length and lower extremity limb lengths were measured. As a data collection tool and used the three-part Y Balance Test (YBT) platform, which was previously stated to have high reliability (ICC = 0.85–0.93). Reach distances of the participants were measured in three directions, anterior posteromedial and posterolateral. YBT scores were determined by calculating the average and normalized values for lower extremity limb length for each reach direction of the obtained scores, and composite YBT scores were determined by taking the averages of anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reach distance scores. In order to determine whether the collected data are suitable for normal distribution, Levene test was applied first and it was determined that p &gt; 0.05 for all parameters as a result of the test. Independent sample T-test from parametric tests was used to determine the differences between groups. Paired-group T-test was used to determine within-group differences. According to the results of the research, it was found that the balance motor capacity levels between the experimental and control groups did not differ significantly compared to the pre-test, but there was a significant difference in all reach directions scores in favor of the post-test and experimental group compared to the control group and the pre-test. When the results of the right and left lower extremity ANT, PM, PL and Composite reach distances were examined according to gender, although there was no statistically significant difference, when the averages were considered, it was seen that all parameters were in favor of girls (p &gt; 0.05). As a result, it was concluded that coordination-based movement education model had a positive effect on the balance motor capacities of 5-year-old children.
