Values and Interferences of Psychomotricity in Education – a Study of the Domain-Specific Literature

Abstract

The present paper presents the theoretical aspects related to the topic of psychomotricity and the way in which it is reflected in the domain-specific literature worldwide. The purpose of the study was to clarify the concepts, to identify specific classifications for the different application areas of psychomotricity, to generalize the components of psychomotricity and to identify evaluation methods for psychomotricity belonging to several domains. The study was carried out with the help of traditional means, in libraries and in the online environment. We accessed international databases that are acknowledged for the field of Sport Science and Physical Education in Romania. These databases are also acknowledged by other related research domains. 637 specialized bibliographic references were identified, out of which 584 online sources. In the present analysis we described the common aspects found in 50 bibliographic sources as well as definitions and concepts about psychomotor activity, stages of motor development and components of psychomotor activity and some psychomotor evaluation methods. The conclusion of the study is that the field of psychomotricity is very wide. The multidimensional approach of this subject is found in various fields of activity such as medicine, psychology, physiology, recreational or educational activities organized within a formal framework. Depending on the particular features of the psychomotor exercises, the educational values take multiple forms. The results in some domains interfere with those in other domains by the way in which the transfer between the motor and the cognitive components, between the physical and the psychological components is performed or vice versa.

Beneficios de la Investigación-Acción en un Programa de Formación Docente

“…El concepto de psicomotricidad y su educación ha ido evolucionando a lo largo de los años desde visiones normativas y tradicionales hacia posturas más dinámicas (Berdila et al, 2019;Gamonales, 2016;Pescari y Popescu 2012;Rigal 2006;Rivas y Madrona 2003;Talaghir et al, 2019) para las que el desarrollo psicomotor está más relacionado con la dimensión afectiva, la vivencia y la experimentación. En la actualidad, la psicomotricidad educativa se basa en la psicología evolutiva y la pedagogía activa y pretende fomentar el desarrollo global en el niño (desarrollo equilibrado de lo motor, lo afectivo y lo mental) y facilitar sus relaciones con el mundo exterior otorgándole gran valor a su impulso en las etapas iniciales (Dumitru, 2018;Faria y Costa, 2016;Martínez-Moreno et al, 2020).…”
