Methodology for the development of basic coordinative qualities, in Physical Education at initial level 2

Abstract

The physical culture professional contributes, with important contributions, to the improvement of the programs; applies physical exercise to education, from the earliest ages and promotes comprehensive training. The objective of this work was to design a methodology for the development of basic coordinative qualities in Physical Education of the initial level 2. To this end, a pre-experimental design study of minimum control was carried out, lasting two years (2020-2021). The selected sample responded to a stratified, non-probabilistic intentional sampling. Methods from the theoretical and empirical levels were used, such as: analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive, systemic-structural-functional, measurement, experiment, expert judgment and descriptive statistics, as well as research techniques, among which stand out documentary analysis, structured observation, interview and survey. The methodology was carried out through the implementation of physical exercises. 229 children from initial level 2 participated. Based on the diagnosis made, it was determined that dynamic balance (46.3 %) and general dynamic coordination (43.7 %) were evaluated as fair, in addition to difficulties in all movement patterns, gross and fine motor skills, reflexes, reactions and postural patterns. The study showed that the development of basic coordinative qualities can be improved in Physical Education at initial level 2.
