Como Mejorar La Sensomotricidad y La Psicomotricidad En El Nino


Book Description

El tratamiento en la evolucion de las capacidades motrices nos lleva a observar varias fuentes (genetica, psicologia, medicina, psiquiatria, educacion fisica, sociologia, etc.), ya que el conocimiento y profundizacion en el estudio del desarrollo motor nos obliga a hacerlo, porque el progreso de la motricidad va parejo con el resto de componentes de la conducta humana y esta la constituye una serie de dominios: afectivo, social, cognoscitivo y psicomotor (Gil, 2003). El objetivo principal en el estudio del desarrollo motor es "analizar el proceso evolutivo de la adquisicion de la competencia motriz necesaria para poder tener una interaccion eficaz con el medio, con objeto de que el individuo sea capaz de realizar un amplio abanico de actividades fisicas." (Sanchez Banuelos y Fernandez -coor.-, 2003). En la bibliografia especializada existen muchas taxonomias sobre las capacidades motrices, aunque para la mayoria estas integran al conocimiento del propio cuerpo y la lateralidad, el conocimiento del espacio y del tiempo, la coordinacion y el equilibrio. Todo ello permite abordarlo a traves de varias interpretaciones (Bottini, 2010). Nosotros veremos como es el desarrollo evolutivo general y las capacidades motrices, para despues centrarnos en aspectos generales de la senso y psicomotricidad.




Como Mejorar La Coordinacion y Equilibrio de Tu Hijo


Book Description

Este obra trata sobre las llamadas "capacidades coordinativas," "capacidades motrices" o "capacidades coordinativo-equilibradoras." Es decir, aquellas que se encargan de regular y organizar el movimiento, sus elementos cualitativos (Morente, 2005). No olvidemos que toda habilidad motriz tiene dos componentes muy ligados: fisico (mas aprisa, mas veces...) y motor (hacerlo bien). Si observamos unas acciones tecnicas en deportistas de elite, la elegancia y la economia de las mismas nos pareceran asequibles de reproducir. En realidad, esta aparente sencillez esta basada en una serie de complicadisimos mecanismos que, interactuando ordenada y sincronicamente unos con otros, dan como resultado ese movimiento digno de admirar (Conde y Viciana, 2001). El titulo del tema hace que coordinacion y equilibrio las veamos por separado aunque en su practica estan yuxtapuestas. Su nivel dependera de la genetica del individuo, y de las oportunidades y experiencias ludicas vividas desde las primeras edades (Rivadeneyra, 2003). Asi pues, veremos en la primera parte del libro todo lo relacionado con la coordinacion: concepto, definiciones, tipos, su evolucion y sus practicas escolares y en la segunda haremos el mismo procedimiento pero con el equilibrio. Ademas, un buen nivel coordinativo repercute decisivamente en un mejor y mas rapido de los aprendizajes basicos escolares.

It will make an excellent text for my introductory course on survey research and, I imagine, for many similar or related courses in the social sciences or education. All the pedagogical features, including the exercises, are excellent, and the level of writing throughout not only is appropriate for an introductory volume, but also engaging and lively." --Daniel U. Levine, Department of Education, University of Nebraska
