Age equivalent Manipulative and Gross motor development

RESEARCH LEVEL OF GROSS MOTOR DEVELOPMENT AND AGE EQUIVALENTS OF CHILDREN 7 TO 9 YEARS (Published)

The purpose of the study is to identify the age group of children 7, 8 and 9 who have experienced delays in gross motor development. Instrument used in this study is Test Gross Motor Development / TGMD-2 (Ulrich, 2000) which was adopted at the international level. Gross motor development data were obtained by video recording (Sony (DRC-SR42 with a 40x optical zoom capability, and software Ultimate Studio 14) on locomotors and manipulative skills. A total n = 192 persons, children of 7 years (7.17 ± .297), 8 years (8.53 ± .430) and 9 years (9.30 ± .431) at Sekolah Kebangsaan Mutiara Perdana, Bayan Lepas, Penang were involved as subjects. The MANOVA analysis showed that, Wilk’s Lambda value = .06, [F (8,372) = 137.97, p <.05] was significant. Children age 9 years experienced delays AEL (4.61 ± .69), AEM (5:52 ± .62) and GMDQ (7.26 ± .2.14) compared to children age 7 years AEL (5.62 ± .69), 6:40 AEM ± .76), GDMQ (16:06 ± 2:13 ), and children age 8 years AEL (5.83 ± .63), AEM (4.77 ± .77) and GMDQ (9:46 ± 2.42).
