2024 (164920) - DUE 8 October 2024
2. Motor development - answers 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.
3. Movement - answers 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.
4. Movement activities - answers 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.
5. Physical development - answers refers to the process linked to the child's structural or
body size.
6. Sensory motor integration - answers 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.
7. Fundamental movement skills - answers 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.
8. Physical literacy - answers 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
9. Perceptual motor - answers 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.
10. Physical education - answers 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.
11. Gross motor abilities - answers 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.
12. Fine motor abilities - answers 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.
13. Most important Phases of growth - answers physical, social-emotional and cognitive
growth.
14. Socialisation - answers through movement activities with others in a safe, structured
environment is important for development.
15. Cooperation through - answers 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
16. Holistic development - answers enables us to build a strong foundation for a child's
emotional, social, physical and psychological development.
17. Enthusiasm for lifelong learning - answers through movement is what teachers need to
inspire children towards and further create opportunities for lifelong participation in
physical activity
18. Conveying the value of education through experience - answers in movement activities
in the Foundation Phase provides new perspectives on the importance of education.
19. Respect is developed through movement activities - answers as learners learn how to
respect each other while learning new motor skills and playing indigenous games.
20. Teamwork - answers in movement activities instils the value of teamwork during a
variety of games and challenges.
21. Resilience - answers is taught through movement as learners have more opportunities to
experience and negotiate challenges which provide for resilience.
