PERFIL PSICOMOTOR DOS ALUNOS DA ESCOLA ESTADUAL RODRIGUES ALVES

Abstract

School Physical Education in Brazil has undergone several changes since its inception, and currently, influences from psychopedagogy, which brought a new working ideology and a new meaning to the presence of Physical Education at school: psychomotor development. The psychomotor approach allows the understanding of how the child becomes aware of his body and the possibilities of expressing himself through it. Therefore, this research aims to identify the psychomotor profile and possible psychomotor disorders in elementary school children, comparing female and male psychomotor profiles. This research project is justified by the need for psychomotricity to be present in children's lives because it corrects several psychomotor disorders that are found in Physical Education classes, where students spend most of their time in front of the computer, cell phone, video game, bringing possible psychomotor disorders. Research subjects are students of Elementary School I of the Rodrigues Alves State School in the city of Monte Azul - MG. Therefore, the importance of applying the psychomotor battery in children inserted in the school environment is noted, as this assessment tool can early detect any delay in the child's psychomotor development, facilitating early intervention in possible psychomotor disorders and adaptation in the form of the teaching-learning in childhood.
