Cognitively Engaging Physical Activity for Targeting Motor, Cognitive, Social, and Emotional Skills in the Preschool Classroom: The Move for Thought preK-K Program

Abstract: Despite the growing body of research indicating that integrated physical activity with learning benefits children both physically and cognitively, preschool curricula with integrated physical activities are scarce. The “Move for Thought (M4T) preK-K” program provides activities on fundamental motor skills that are integrated with academic concepts, executive function, and social-emotional skills in the preschool environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and effectiveness of… Show more

Looking a little further afield, but still within the 4E family of work, the MM nicely reflects the idea from cognitive archaeology that "thinking is thinging" (Malafouris, 2021).…”

“…Although these variables were not strongly associated with children's physical activity in ECE settings (Table S3), they are important variables to consider and explore further as international ECE curricula are increasingly focused on developing executive function and self-regulation, aligning with school readiness (e.g., Becker & Nader, 2021). Interventions with active learning, including physically active lessons or cognitively engaging physical activity, are also growing support on their positive effects on children's physical activity and academic outcomes (e.g., executive function; Mavilidi et al, 2023;Schmidt et al, 2020;Vazou & Mavilidi, 2021;memory;Mavilidi et al, 2015Mavilidi et al, , 2018. Further studies are needed to confirm the relationship between self-regulation and executive functions and children's physical activity as well as effective interventions that can promote these outcomes in ECE settings.…”
