The school curriculum, as a document directing the activity of physical education and sport, is approached by each specialised teacher from different perspectives, according to their personal views. In the operationalization of general and specific competences that should be acquired by pupils, the teacher's role is essential. For this reason, we think it is important to know how the development of motor abilities is managed during physical education lessons in primary schools, where the foundations of child's motricity are laid. The aim of this paper is to investigate the opinions of specialists on the development of motor abilities in physical education lessons at the primary education level, with special reference to flexibility, as a motor ability. The research method used was the opinion survey questionnaire, and the interviewed subjects were 313 physical education teachers in pre-university education. The questionnaire was administered at the beginning of the school year 2015-2016 via the Google Forms application within the Google Drive service. There were collected 122 direct responses (at conferences, methodical sessions) and 191 online responses (on social networks dedicated to teachers). The result analysis was performed using the SPSS software program, version 15. The obtained results reveal the specialists' opinions on the place and importance given to the development of conditional, coordination and intermediate motor abilities in the content of physical education lesson at the primary school level.
The role of physical education is to act in order to increase the manifestation of motor ability indices among pupils. For this reason, the development of joint mobility in young pupils has a particular importance, by its limiting effects on the adjustments and designation of the movement easiness characterizing the ability of an element to move. The purpose of this paper was to make a diagnosis of the range of motion for the main joints, which included measurements of mobility in the scapular-humeral, coxofemoral and talocrural joints, in primary school pupils from Middle School No. 192. To achieve the intended purpose, it was initiated a comparative study conducted between December 2014 and January 2015, during 14 lessons (according to school schedule and curriculum). The subjects were 80 pupils from 1 st to 4 th grades, participants in the physical education and sports lesson. It was created a group of schoolboys and also a group of schoolgirls for each grade of the primary education, in total 4 groups of 10 schoolboys each and 4 groups of 10 schoolgirls each. Results were obtained using tests for the mobility or flexibility assessment, according to Brian Mackenzie, and through the statistical method, we calculated the arithmetic mean. Analysis of the results provides objective information about the level of mobility development in the subjects tested throughout their evolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
