Motor development (answer)is characterised as a clear pathway which occurs from birth to adulthood.
It is a continuous process that occurs over the aforementioned period. Motor development is
predictable according to the skills acquired from birth to adulthood.
Movement (answer)refers to the physical and entire motor development process from infancy to old
age and includes all the developmental patterns of basic motor skills at all age levels. Movement lies at
the heart of learning. Learning, language and behaviour are all linked in some way to the function of the
motor system and the control of movement. It is known that children have an insatiable desire for
movement, but very often, educators and parents suppress the desires of the child and believe that they
only learn when they are sitting still and paying attention.
Movement activities (answer)are an essential ingredient of physical activity. These activities not only
include the various categories of movement such as stability, locomotion and manipulation activities,
but also a wide range of activities which need to be planned and presented for learners in the
Foundation Phase.
Physical development (answer)refers to the process linked to the child's structural or body size.
Sensory motor integration (answer)refers to a relationship between the sensory system (nerves) and the
motor system (muscles). It also refers to the process by which these two systems (sensory and motor)
communicate and coordinate with each other.
Fundamental movement skills (answer)are movement patterns that involve various body parts and
provide the basis of physical literacy. Fundamental movement skills are the foundational movements, or
precursor patterns, to the more specialised and complex skills used in play, games and specific sports.
Physical literacy (answer)is the ability to move with competence and confidence doing a wide variety of
physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person. A
child who is competent in movement is able to perform a variety of much-needed fundamental motor
skills
, Perceptual motor (answer)is a combination of sensory skills and motor skills that allow a person to
synchronise body movements. Perception has to do with the contact that the brain makes with the
outside world by means of data which is gathered through the senses. This development begins at a
very young age and involves perception of relations in space, for instance, enabling a child to see an
animal in a tree (a leopard or bird). This leads to the development of background and foreground. It also
involves a perception of position in space when infants look at an object on a mat. No matter what angle
they are looking from, it will stay the same.
Physical education (answer)is considered the education of, by and through human movement. It can
mean different things to different people. It is an essential subject which is dedicated to learning about
the psychomotor domain and at the same time focuses on the development of lifetime physical activity
patterns and behaviour.
Gross motor abilities (answer)require the child to use his/her arms, legs and large parts of his/her body.
Activities like crawling, jumping, running and skipping utilise the large muscles of the child's body.
Fine motor abilities (answer)develop later and require the use of the smaller muscles in the fingers,
hands and feet for important actions like picking up an object or holding a pencil.
Most important Phases of growth (answer)physical, social-emotional and cognitive growth.
Socialisation (answer)through movement activities with others in a safe, structured environment is
important for development.
Cooperation through (answer)movement activities provides opportunities for sharing, cooperation,
taking turns and perseverance within a safe learning environment that is guided by teachers who have
the children's best interests at heart
Holistic development (answer)enables us to build a strong foundation for a child's emotional, social,
physical and psychological development.
Enthusiasm for lifelong learning (answer)through movement is what teachers need to inspire children
towards and further create opportunities for lifelong participation in physical activity
