“…This finding corroborates a study by Lin et al (2015) who described that when the writing pattern is not automated there may be no variation in the speed of writing, however, with the increase in the grade year, there is a decrease in speed. The greater the student's writing experience, the lower the writing speed.…”

Among the present critical issues that pedagogy and special teaching have to deal with it is possible to notice the contrast between writing and technology, up to the pertinent field of prevention and observation of dysgraphies. The authors present in the following article a study conducted in Italy aimed at evaluating writing, specifically in the speed and pressure parameters in early literacy using NeuroScript Movalyzer Software. The aim is to implement suitable research paths to support the dissemination of observation procedures and inclusive teaching practices, capable of enhancing the fluidity of writing by all students.

“…The experiment result about velocity is similar to previous studies. Schooling has influence over velocity development [9], and increased velocity across grade presents the proficiency and automation of motor skill [10].…”

“…Our finding reflects horizontal force and impulse of horizontal force had significant grade effect for all tasks, while vertical force and impulse of vertical force did not. Although the source of the drawing characteristics is the pressure applied on the pen [12], there is no consensus on the development of pen pressure up to now [10]. More attention on the research of force variability should be directed to, since force control is an essential component of fine motor movement.…”

The study used a computer-assisted assessment of children's drawings to investigate the relationship between schooling and fine motor skill development. 62 children from grade 1-6 performed specific drawing tasks (horizontal line, vertical line, square and circle) on a digital tablet. Six features, namely drawing time, velocity, vertical force, horizontal force, impulse of vertical force, impulse of horizontal force were extracted from the dynamic data of drawing. Further analysis showed that there was grade effect for some of these features. The results suggest dynamic data analysis could be a valuable tool to reveal the performance characteristic of fine motor ability development.

“…Criteria for the evaluation of handwriting performance typically include 'product legibility' and 'writing speed' [18]. In drawing, aspects such as 'drawing duration', 'drawing velocity', and 'number of peaks in stroke velocity profile' are considered [19].…”

The study of Making to support children's cognitive or social needs is gaining prominence rapidly. However, little research in Making focuses on children's motor skills and abilities, especially at younger ages. Arguing that Making provides greater benefits when introduced at elementary school-aged, this paper contributes to the understanding of how children aged 8 to 11 manipulate connectors, a key component of Maker kits. We present a review of connectors used in prior work, a theoretical foundation based on the mediated action theory of affordances, and an empirical study of children using 6 different types of connectors with various affordances. Based on quantitative analysis and qualitative video analysis, we present themes that may guide the design of components in future Maker kits for children, with a view towards usability aligned with children's capabilities and mental models.
