“…Descriptive data in Table 2 summarize sensorimotor development measures before the intervention for each age group. These data are related to learning abilities, behavior, and the ability to integrate into the community (Cheatum & Hammond, 2000). They reveal that by the time children enter school (6-7 years), their sensorimotor development (A in the The results of the Mann-Whitney U test are presented in Table 5.…”

“…The vestibular organ is responsible for sensing the spatial position of the head, which in turn affects muscle tone. Muscle tone affects skeletal muscles and muscles responsible for hearing and vision, in uencing auditory and visual perception (Cheatum & Hammond, 2000;De Jager, 2009;Goddard, 2015;Jaiswal & Morankar, 2017).…”

“…Development of visual capabilities: Graphomotor maturity and development of body schema, shapeto-background discrimination, level of form detection and reproduction, perception of spatial position, differentiation of directions, information signals, the relativity of spatial situation, visuomotor coordination, and visual memory.3. Development of auditory capabilities: Delayed verbal memory, relation vocabulary, the formation of spatial orientation in language, auditory serial memory, auditory serial detection, correct use and interpretation of words and other parts of the language (grammar), conceptualization (description of categories), and opposites.3.1 system was tested as suggested byCheatum and Hammond (2000). To test sensorimotor coordination, we adopted the methods described in Hodapp and Fidler (2016) andUlrich and Sanford (2000), togetherwith our own experience.…”

Background Around 800 million young children worldwide have cognitive-developmental limitations due to biological, environmental, and psychosocial reasons, while in Europe, an estimated 15 million children have special educational needs. This leads to educational challenges, limited skill levels, and higher unemployment rates. Therefore, timely intervention within institutional settings to address the reasons underlying these problems is of critical importance. Objective The “S. Sensorimotor Development Program” (SSDP) was developed by the authors as a key intervention to develop the skills essential for starting school. This longitudinal field study investigated the impact of the SSDP in an institutional setting focusing on the specific auditory and visual skills required for learning in kindergarten and primary school children. Methods The SSDP consists of 120 training sessions focused on sensorimotor maturation. 772 children aged 5–8 took part in the study, with 704 in the experimental and 68 in the control group, each containing an equal ratio of boys and girls. The study lasted six to eight months and consisted of three to five weekly training sessions. Results Results obtained following the intervention showed significant improvements in sensorimotor maturity in the experimental compared to the no-intervention control group (p<.001, effect size (d)=.483; auditory skillsr=.605 p <.001, d=.366; visual skills r= .542, p< .001, d =.294). The intervention group also improved compared to its baseline measurements. Conclusion These results show that implementing the SSDP in school settings can improve sensorimotor development, which has a strong effect on auditory and visual abilities in children aged 5–8.

The learning process needs an appropriate method and technique to be implemented among the players. The basketball game contains a set of skills that need a close relationship between actions, neurological, mental and muscular abilities and the control of bodily movement. One of the important factors in learning, improving and developing motor abilities and learning the skill as well as the planning performance is through learners’ ability to analyze, plan and solve problems in learning processes. The physical intelligence created by the theory of intellectual development is one of the types of intelligence that must be taught to the learners to develop basic basketball skills, that need to be controlled, compatible and balanced during the performance of the skills, including shooting skills in basketball ring. The primary aim of the present study was to identify the levels of physical intelligence and to find out the significant difference between the pre and post-tests in the physical intelligence, motor abilities and basic skills between the experimental and control group. The present study had an experimental study design. The research “community” was determined from the students of the fourth school stage (grade 9) of Al-Amal High School for Girls in Baghdad for the academic year 2019-2020. A total of 20 students were recruited as sample participants for the study, who represented 11.29% of the total population. The participants were allocated into two groups, i.e. experimental group and the control group. The participants of the experimental group received training with physical intelligence exercises, whereas control group participants received training with the traditional method.

“…Sementara itu, kemahiran saraf motor halus merujuk kepada kumpulan otot-otot kecil dan halus yang melibatkan pergerakan kecil tangan seperti mencubit, menggenggam, menulis, memakai pakaian, mengurus diri ke tandas (Mohd Hanafi Bin Mohd Yasin, 2003), dan sebagainya. Golongan ini didapati akan menghadapi masalah untuk menjalankan aktiviti persekolahan (Mercer, 1989), aktiviti harian dan pengurusan diri (Cheatum, 2000). Oleh itu, kajian mendapati untuk membangunkan ketidakupayaan fizikal yang dihadapi oleh golongan ini, ia memerlukan bantuan daripada guru-guru yang memahami tahap keupayaan intelektual setiap pelajarnya.…”

Generally, children with autism have development disorders in many areas such as development delay in the physical aspect. Therefore, western researchers on children with autism have designed and applied interventions and therapies such as exercise therapies, play therapies, and other approaches to improve the children’s physical capabilities and increase their overall function and physical participation. As knowledge in the area of autism is developing globally, modified and integrated approaches for the physical development of children with autism have been gaining attention in countries in Southest Asia such as Brunei, Malaysia, and Indonesia. These approaches are appropriate with the cultures, religions, and social norms in these countries. This study is a qualitative case study using the interview method that involved four teachers in Yayasan Faqeh as the respondents, and the teachers have experiences in teaching autistic children. The data obtained showed the points of saturation and were obtained in accordance with the literature. The results were examined according to themes and sub-themes. The results show that Yayasan Faqeh has been using two approaches, which are exercise therapy and play therapy, that integrate the western and Islamic approaches for autistic children’s physical development. The interview record with the four teachers indicate that the autistic children have shown improvement in their physical development. Abstrak Umumnya, kanak-kanak autisme mengalami masalah perkembangan dalam banyak perkara seperti kelambatan dalam aspek pembangunan fizikal. Disebabkan itu, sarjana Barat telah menjalankan banyak penyelidikan intervensi dan terapi seperti terapi mainan, aktiviti senaman, dan lain-lain terapi fizikal untuk membangunkan fizikal kanak-kanak ini. Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman dan globalisasi, ilmu pengetahuan yang melibatkan aspek integrasi dan penambahbaikan terhadap pendekatan terapi pembangunan fizikalkanak-kanak ini semakin mendapat tempat di negara Asia Tenggara iaitu Brunei, Malaysia, dan Indonesia. Pendekatan tersebut didapati meraikan budaya, agama anutan, dan kehidupan sosial masyarakat. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian kualitatif dan kaedah kajian kes yang menemu bual empat orang guru di Yayasan Faqeh di mana guru-guru tersebut mempunyai pengalaman mengajar kanak-kanak autisme. Data yang diperoleh mancapai tahap ketepuan iaitu pembinaan tema yang dilakukan tidak terbentuk lagi kerana telah mencapai tahap tidak mungkin ada tema baru lagi yang terbentuk. Kemudian data dibahagikan kepada tema dan subtema kajian. Hasil kajian menunjukkan Yayasan Faqeh menggunakan pendekatan pembangunan fizikal yang meliputi aspek terapi mainan dan aktiviti senaman. Pendekatan tersebut menggabungkan idea pendekatan barat dan Islam yang mana unsur ketuhanan dalam Islam dimasukkan seperti zikir, selawat, dan syariat Islam. Malahan, data kajian yang diperoleh melalui rekod temu bual menunjukkan pendekatan terapi tersebut menghasilkan perkembangan yang baik terhadap pembangunan fizikal kanak-kanak ini.
