Affordances for Risk-Taking and Physical Activity in Australian Early Childhood Education Settings

Abstract: Motor competence and physical activity (PA) patterns are established during the early childhood years. Early childhood education (ECE) settings are an important context for children's engagement in physically active play. This paper reports the findings from an online survey examining resources, spaces and affordances for PA and risk-taking in outdoor play provision at 245 ECE centres across Australia. Centres were generally well resourced to promote physical play and provide a diverse range of experiences tha… Show more

“…68 Physical environment and physical activity policy components of the EPAO assess fixed play equipment, portable play equipment, outdoor running space, indoor play space and whether the centre has a written policy and documented curriculum on physical activity 6669 The presence and quality of other features of the outdoor day care physical environment including vegetation,70–72 paths,73 surface material,28 slope/gradient,74 natural features74 and play settings66 will also be collected.

“…International forskning indikerer, at en del børn i dagtilbud ikke bevaeger sig saerlig meget (Sørensen, 2012). I lande som Finland (Reunamo et al, 2014), Canada (Froehlich Chow & Humbert, 2014), USA (Coleman & Dyment, 2013;Howie et al, 2016), Australien (Little & Sweller, 2015) og Norge (Giske, Tjensvoll, & Dyrstad, 2010), hvor der er formuleret konkrete anbefalinger til maengde og intensitet for børns bevaegelse i 0-6 års alderen, tyder undersøgelser på, at børn ikke lever op til anbefalingerne. Yderligere ses det fx i et studie af 10 amerikanske dagtilbud, at naesten tre fjerdedele af børns tid i dagtilbud er stillesiddende (Tandon, Saelens, & Christakis, 2015).…”

“…Forskning viser, at positive holdninger til bevaegelse, kreativitet i anvendelse af bevaegelse og engagement i bevaegelse hos professionelle, er vigtige parametre, hvis børns og unges muligheder for fysisk aktivitet skal forbedres (Copeland, Kendeigh, Saelens, Kalkwarf, & Sherman, 2012). Samtidig tyder det på, at paedagogers viden om fysisk aktivitet og bevaegelse kan have betydning for maengden af børns fysiske aktivitet (Little & Sweller, 2015). Paedagoger, der er uddannede i at anvende bevaegelse i dagtilbud, rapporterer, måske ikke overraskende, at de i højere grad end paedagoger uden uddannelse, føler sig rustede og parate til at tage fat i området (Sevimli-Celik & Johnson, 2013).…”
