The influence of using video media on basic movement skills in kindergarten

Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to measure the effects of video media on kindergarten children basic movement skills. Educators use many strategies to assist their children in acquiring basic movement skills in kindergartens; The style of teaching encompasses the style of guided discovery, with a component and entire method approach supported by visual medias. This research used an experimental design with convenience sampling of 40 children from two classes in kindergarten. The experimental study is an investigation into the effects of video media in children’s and other supervised subjects on fundamental movement abilities. Twenty children assigned to an experimental treatment, in which the researchers studied findings on children development on basic movement skills. Other children (N = 20) were assigned to a control group. Instrumentation for the Research-based on observation to gather data, the observation made by a researcher to find items that are needed. Moreover, The Bruininks-Oseretsky Second Edition Motor Capability Test ((Bruiniks and Bruiniks, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency> Second (Edition manual), Pearson Assessment, 2005)) and The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) used in this research. Blinding teaching methods in kindergarten physical education using visual media showed increase the basic mobility skills of the kindergarten sample. Physical Education teachers using blinding methods in classroom provide their special children with more effective learning skills in the Basic Movement Skills in the kindergarten. In addition, video media tools showed improvement in basic movement skills of school lay-up children. The outcome of this research provided advice to practitioners and researchers on how to incorporate video in their teaching with a view to promoting the development of important motor skills in children.
