Abstract

The program for motor development and coordination skills consists of 10 intervention classes aimed at 60 schoolchildren between 8 and 11 years of age from the Estanislao Zuleta school, with the objective of contributing to the processes of motor development and coordination skills of this population. The development of the 10 sessions included exercises of body scheme, balance, proprioception, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, laterality, agility, displacements, jumps and coordination. Additionally, sports practices such as handball and soccer were performed. All the activities were carried out through circuit games and with the accompaniment of the teacher in charge of the course, a significant learning in development was generated in the children. The materials used were relevant for the children and were provided by the Estanislao Zuleta school. Finally, information was gathered on the population to describe the characteristics of the elementary school children and the impact of the intervention on their motor development and coordination skills. The results showed that these practices were useful and effective for the improvement of motor development, coordination skills, social and psychological skills for the children. These findings support the importance of primary school children receiving physical education classes by a professional with knowledge related to this area.
