Abstract

This study investigates the effect of eight weeks traditional education (TE) and computer assisted education (CAE) with controls on the development of fundamental movement skills in 22 boys and 33 girls aged 5-6 years. This study showed CAE had higher improvements than TE in the sub-dimension of locomotor contrary to the higher improvements of in the object control and Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) in males. CAE in females had higher improvements than TE in the means of locomotor, object control and TGMD-2. In conclusion, CAE is more effective in the means of sprint, hop, side gallop, catch, kick, throw and TE is more efficient in the means of leap and two hands strike in boys. CAE is also more efficient in the means of leap, side gallop, and two hands strike, catch, throw and TE is more efficient in the means of sprint, hop and kick in girls.


Keywords: Locomotor, object control skills, children, TGMD-2.
