Jefferson-Buchanan, Rachael – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2022
The teaching of fundamental movement skills (FMS) such as catching, throwing, running, jumping and rolling is widely accepted as the cornerstone of physical education in the primary school. However, there is limited debate about the use of different pedagogical approaches when teaching FMS. In this article, advice is offered for teachers vis-à-vis…

Telford, Rohan M.; Olive, Lisa S.; Keegan, Richard J.; Keegan, Sarah; Barnett, Lisa M.; Telford, Richard D. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2021
Background: Health organisations such as the United Nations continue to place an expectation on school physical education (PE) programmes and wider school strategies to ensure students develop physical literacy and receive the well-established benefits of meeting physical activity guidelines. Barriers to meet this expectation such as lack of…

Guadreau, Zachary; Wylie, Rebecca C.; Flory, Sara B. – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2020
Developing students who are physically literate is one of the most important aspects of physical education (PE). As teachers, we introduce students to the concepts of health and fundamental movement skills like throwing, catching and using implements to allow them the skill proficiency to pursue an active lifestyle. This article focuses on the…

Marinšek, Miha; Denac, Olga – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2020
Different teaching approaches can be employed to facilitate the development of fundamental movement skills (FMS) and rhythmic abilities (RA) in early childhood. This study examined the influence of three different educational programmes on the development of FMS and RA. The Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition and RA tests were used to…

Thacker, Anna; Ho, Jennifer; Khawaja, Arsalan; Katz, Larry – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2022
Purpose: Through video analysis, this paper explores the impact that order of performance has on middle school students' performance of fundamental movement skills within a peer-to-peer learning model. Order of performance refers to the order in which a student performed a skill while paired up with a peer. Method: Using a mobile application, Move…

Bradford, Brent; Kell, Shannon; Forsberg, Nick – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2016
The development of fundamental movement skills is essential in quality physical education. It has become widely accepted that school-age children who fail to reach the automatic phase in fundamental movement-skill development may choose physically inactive and unhealthy lifestyles. Therefore, physical educators must continue to discover ways to…

Johnstone, Avril; Hughes, Adrienne R.; Reilly, John J. – Scottish Educational Review, 2019
It is widely accepted that children in Scotland, as in other high-income countries, are not engaging in sufficient moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), the consequences of which can be adverse for health and wellbeing. In this paper, it is contended that active play (a form of gross motor or total body movement in which…

Gavigan, Nathan; Belton, Sarahjane; Whyte, Enda; O'Connor, Siobhan; Morley, David; Issartel, Johann – European Physical Education Review, 2022
Assessing children's movement competence (MC) offers numerous benefits for academics, practitioners, clinicians and children, allowing individuals to meet children's developmental needs and improve their MC. Yet, there is concern that currently available assessment tools only provide a single plane (fundamental movement skills) perspective of a…

Stevenson, A.; Wainwright, N.; Williams, A. – Education 3-13, 2023
Competency in fundamental movement skills (FMS) lays the foundation for developing more complex motor skills and supporting a physically active future. Preschool-aged children are at a crucial window of development, so intervening with motor skill programmes increases the likelihood of future physical activity (PA) participation. Parents/carers…

Bremer, Emily; Lloyd, Meghann – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examined whether adaptive behaviour, emotional and behavioural challenges, and social skills, respectively, moderated the effect of a movement skill intervention on movement skills among preschool aged children with autism spectrum disorder. Twenty-seven participants with autism spectrum disorder (N = 13 experimental) between 3 and 5…

Rudd, J. R.; Barnett, L. M.; Farrow, D.; Berry, J.; Borkoles, E.; Polman, Remco – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
This study evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-week gymnastics curriculum on children's movement competence and their physical self-concept. There were 113 children (46% girls, 49% intervention) with a mean age of 9.4 years (SD = 1.8) that participated. Intervention children underwent 8 weeks of gymnastics and the comparison group continued with…

Baert, Helena; Madden, Matthew D.; Pratt, Erica – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2019
A mixed methods study was used to identify the effects of an online mastery-based learning resource on Teacher Candidates (TCs) in a Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) Program. Online modules assisted TCs with developing knowledge of critical elements and motor development stages (Gallahue, Ozmun, & Goodway, 2012) associated with 16…
