This study aimed to investigate the influence of structured physical education on the psychomotor development of 3 to 5 year-old preschool children. The sample consisted of 324 students of both sexes (3 to 5 year-old) from 9 public kindergarten classes in Porto, Portugal. A battery of psychomotor tests (pre-test) was used to assess the students' psychomotor development profiles. The sample was divided in 2 groups: an experimental group (162 students) and a control group (162 students). Physical Education (PE) teachers used a structured 24-week PE plan in the experimental group. After the plan completion, the same battery of tests (post-test) was run on both groups.The outcome was that both groups grew their psychomotor profiles; however this growth was always statistically higher in the experimental group (at all ages and in all variables analysed p < 0.001-Figure 3 and Table 1, 2). There were no significant deviations related to the gender (p>0.05). Structured physical education is important for preschool children's psychomotor development. Physical activity impact on children's interaction with the outside world was proved, through their overall development motivated by the structured physical education lessons.

Resumen Hasta la actualidad, ha sido mucha la documentación que se ha publicado a cerca de la importancia de la motricidad en el desarrollo integral de los niños y niñas. Con esta investigación pretendemos aproximarnos al conocimiento de la realidad concreta de la práctica motriz y averiguar qué importancia se le da a la misma en el segundo ciclo de Educación Infantil en las escuelas del Ayuntamiento de Vigo, España. Se ha optado por una metodología mixta, ya que se han analizado tanto datos cualitativos como cuantitativos. Como parte de la investigación se han visitado 43 escuelas de Vigo, el 50% del total, obteniendo una muestra total de cincuenta cuestionarios, los cuales fueron cubiertos por los profesionales encargados de dar motricidad en estos centros. Así mismo, se han analizado las Memorias Verifica de las universidades gallegas y el Decreto 330/2009 de Educación Infantil. Tras los resultados obtenidos, se pudo concluir que la totalidad de los profesionales consideraban que es importante trabajar la motricidad en las aulas de Educación Infantil, pero más de la mitad, un 58%, indicaba que no se trabajaba lo suficiente. Además, se pudo observar que la formación dada en las universidades gallegas en relación a la motricidad era escasa.

En este estudio se muestra el desarrollo de un programa de estimulación de la inteligencia emocional y de la autoestima en varios grupos de infantes de 4 y 5 años. Se confeccionó un programa de intervención emocional mediante el uso de metodologías cualitativas y cuantitativas. Se aplicaron los test de dibujo de la figura humana de Koppitz (1987), el test de Inteligencia Emocional de Martineaud y Engelhart (1998), el test de la casa de Buck, Fernández y Pereña (2008) y el de la familia de Corman (1971). Desarrollando la acción en diferentes momentos, se pudo comprobar una evolución positiva en cuanto a las habilidades sociales, inteligencia emocional y autoestima de los estudiantes que siguieron esta metodología en este programa de intervención.

The massive fragmentation of knowledge that exists in the current field of physical education enables us to research pedagogical and disciplinary aspects in the educational processes of teachers in training, as this has significant implications for future educational practices. This study proposes to assess the dimensions of knowledge (conceptual, procedural and attitudinal) that stem from the learnings that emerge in physical education teacher training in terms of the disciplinary standards proposed by the Chilean Education Ministry for the Preservice Teacher Education. The study methodology was descriptive and inferential, and the cohort was cross-sectional. A total of 750 fourth- and fifth-year students in training from 13 Chilean universities participated. Of these, 619 subjects were considered: 54.6% (338) men and 45.4% (281) women between the ages of 21 and 25. The questionnaire used for data collection was the “Questionnaire on Conceptual, Procedural and Attitudinal Learning in Preservice Teacher Education in Physical Education” (CACPA-FIDEF), prepared as part of Fondecyt project No. 11190537. The main results indicate that there are no statistically significant differences in the three dimensions in terms of students’ sex and type of schooling, with p values > 0.05. In conclusion, the study observed a weak conceptual management of the discipline in future teachers, revealing once again the need to seek out didactic alternatives that enable teachers in training to understand the importance of the conceptual dimension in their learning and teaching processes.
