Neuropsychological Maturity in Pre-school Children

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to improve neuropsychological maturity in preschool children; to achieve this; a program of strategies that reinforced the levels of neuropsychological maturity was carried out. The research had a quantitative approach, hypothetical-deductive method and quasi-experimental design; a pre-test and post-test of the Cumanin questionnaire, a valid and reliable instrument, was applied to a sample of 450 students of the initial level. The research found differences between the levels of neuropsychological maturity in pre-school children before and after the application of the program. In this sense, it should be pointed out that before the application of the program, 13.1% were at the beginning level, 72.2% were in process and 14.7% were at the achieved level; after the application of the program, 6.2% of the children were at the beginning level, 72.2% were in process and 21.6% were at the achieved level, which means that the children were at the beginning level, 72.2% were in process and 21.6% were at the achieved level. Therefore, it was concluded that the program generates a positive effect on psychomotor skills in preschool children, since highly significant differences were evidenced (z= -16.065; p<0.000).

Deca Predškolskog Uzrasta: Procena Kroz Pokret, Ritam I Dalkroz Metodu

“…Procesom kretanja u prostoru i Milica Puđa, Svetlana Lazić manipulisanjem predmetima na koje nailaze deca ostvaruju napredak koji se ogleda u njihovom celovitom angažovanju. U istraživanjima je dokazano da programi koji obuhvataju muziku i pokret pozitivno utiču na unapređenje neuropsihološke zrelosti kod dece predškolskog uzrasta (Calle et al, 2021), dok je u drugoj studiji ustanovlјena značajna korelacija muzičkih i motoričkih sposobnosti, kao i linearna progresija (Gruhn et al, 2012).…”

Dalcroze Method and Its Impact to Motor, Locomotor Status and Movement Aestethic

“…Experience that preschool teachers have enabled them to more affirm some complex moves and movement, in other words, exercises for coordination and balance development and affirm music in the sense of its rhythm, dynamics and phrase. The outcomes of this approach make positive changes in improvement of neuropsychological maturity of children who showed larger abilities of motor activities control and decreasing the tendency of attention deficit (Bogdanowicz, 2016;Calle et al, 2021;Sutela, Juntunen, & Ojala, 2020).…”

“…Iskustvo koje poseduju u u povezivanju muzike i pokreta omogućilo je vaspitačima da više afirmišu složene pokrete i kretanje, odnosno vežbe za razvoj koordinacije i ravnoteže i više afirmišu muziku u smislu njenog ritma, dinamike i fraze. Ishodi ovakvog pristupa ostvaruju pozitivne promene na unapređivanje neuropsihološke zrelosti kod dece koja su pokazala veću sposobnost kontrole motoričkih aktivnosti i smanjenje sklonosti odvlačenja pažnje (Bogdanowicz, 2016;Calle et al, 2021;Sutela, Juntunen, & Ojala, 2020).…”
