LSP1501 ASSIGNMENT 9 (COMPLETE
ANSWERS) 2024 - DUE 8 OCTOBER 2024
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
Conveying the value of education through experience - ANSWER-in movement
activities in the Foundation Phase provides new perspectives on the importance of
education.
Respect is developed through movement activities - ANSWER-as learners learn how
to respect each other while learning new motor skills and playing indigenous games.
Teamwork - ANSWER-in movement activities instils the value of teamwork during a
variety of games and challenges.
