The Effect Of A Sensorimotor Program On The Development Of Sensorimotor Aspects In Primary School Pupils Aged 10–11 Years – A Field Study In The Municipality Of Barhoum

Abstract

This study aims to explore the fundamental and positive role of a sensorimotor program in the school environment, particularly in enhancing the sensorimotor aspects of primary school pupils aged 10–11 years. The research involved the application of a set of sensorimotor exercises in addition to the standard school curriculum. The study was conducted on a sample of 36 fifth-grade pupils, divided into two groups: a control group that followed only the traditional school curriculum, and an experimental group that followed the same curriculum supplemented with a proposed program consisting of individual and group activities designed to achieve sensorimotor objectives. The experimental method was employed, and specific tests were used to assess sensorimotor development, including standing long jump, shooting accuracy, shot put, and motor speed. The results indicated a significant and positive impact of the sensorimotor program on the development of sensorimotor skills in the experimental group. The study recommends integrating such programs into the school curriculum and encouraging teachers to adopt them due to their effective role in supporting the sensorimotor development of primary school pupils
