Visual Perceptual Motor Training on Kindergarteners

Официальное название

Effects of Different Visual-perceptual-motor Training Courses on Kindergarten Children

Обзор

The study aims to investigate the effects of different visuomotor training programs on children's visuomotor skills and handwriting performance.

Подробное описание

The purpose of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of visuomotor activities with different activity materials on fine motor, visual perception, visual-motor integration and handwriting performance of kindergarten children. Kindergarteners will be randomized into the three groups: control, Chinese, and traditional groups. Children in the Chinese and traditional groups will receive a visual perceptual motor training program twice every week for 12 weeks and those in the control group will not receive any intervention during the study period. in the end of fall semester of the first grade, the effectiveness of the interventional programs on handwriting performance of participants will be examined again.

Вмешательства

• Поведенческое Chinese character-based visuomotor training program
  this program includes visual-perceptual-motor play, paper-pencil activities, and ipad games using Chinese character as activity materials
• Поведенческое traditional visuomotor training program
  this program includes play and paper-and-pencil activities, ipad games using commercial or self-designed stuffs as activity materials
