Brief Summary:
The early childhood education and care ECEC environment is an important setting for providing children with daily opportunities for movement and music supporting holistic child development in the early years To date there are no studies evaluating the implementation of a holistic programme in the ECEC context in the areas of movement behaviour motor and musical skills The main aim is to examine the impact over time of a holistic movement and music programme on correlates of movement behaviour gross and fine motor skills and musical skills in young children 1-3 years The secondary aims are to examine the impact of the movement and music programme on the perceptions of the educational community as well as the barriers and facilitators they perceive in the process of baseline assessment construction and implementation of the movement and music programme in their own ECEC community This cluster-randomised controlled trial intervention and control groups with public ECEC centres will be performed over a 24-month period Baseline measurements will be taken in the first year of the project and the longitudinal evaluation of the implementation of the movement and music programme in the second year educational communitys perceptions about the barriers and facilitators associated with the correlates of movement behaviour will be taken into account as will the results of the assessment of gross and fine motor and musical skills identified in the first year of the project with a special focus on the structured and unstructured opportunities for movement and music both in the ECEC settings and at home This research project aims to fill a knowledge gap during a period of childhood that has rarely been explored either nationally or internationally 1-3 years and to position movement and music teaching practices as key contexts in the curriculum development of infant and toddler education
Detailed Description:
ECEC settings are important determinants of childrens behaviour Ecological models help to contextualise and explain how the different environments in which children interact on a daily basis school home and peer relations have the capacity to influence childrens development To date there are no studies evaluating the implementation of a holistic programme in the ECEC context in the areas of movement behaviour motor and musical skills A pending line of research is the identification of the key correlates of changes in movement behaviour throughout the early years which would generate knowledge crucial to developing policy interventions that promote general wellbeing in young children Thus this study focuses on the importance of home and ECEC settings in the development of movement behaviour through a critical analysis of how curricular practices can be more effective in influencing childrens holistic development
Aims The main aim is to examine the impact over time of a holistic movement and music programme on correlates of movement behaviour gross and fine motor skills and musical skills in young children 1-3 years The secondary aims are to examine the impact of the movement and music programme on the perceptions of the educational community as well as the barriers and facilitators they perceive in the process of baseline assessment construction and implementation of the movement and music programme in their own ECEC community
Hypotheses The research set out to test the following hypotheses 1 Girls and boys 1-2 years will perform the same amount of PA during the school day 2 The implementation of a music and movement intervention programme will increase childrens PA during the school day 3 The music and movement intervention programme will have an impact on higher levels of childrens GMS as well as a variety of musical processes in the intervention group 4 The ECEC community will be actively involved in the co-creation process of the movement and music intervention programme
