Benefits of Gymnastic’s in Children

keith — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 19:06:56 +0000

Studies show that children learn cognitive skills more effectively in an environment that includes the body as well as the mind (Barrett, 1998). Gymnastics and early childhood movement education is directly attributed to developing neurological pathways in students and promoting reading readiness. While the preschool gymnastics teacher runs about and plays with the little kids in her class, she is preparing her students for successful experiences in school; children who have participated in movement education activities have longer attention spans, increased communication skills, general problem solving skills and improved self-esteem.
• Researchers at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School found a relationship between physical activity and children’s self-esteem. The more time children ages 10 to 16 spent being active, the higher their self-efficacy and self-esteem were to reported to be (Strauss RS, Rodzilsky D, Burack G, Colin M., 2001).

Aistear

keith — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:14:54 +0000

In October 2009, the NCCA published Aistear: the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework. Aistear is for all children from birth to six years. It is the outcome of extensive research, consultation, planning, and development by the NCCA in partnership with the early childhood sector.
Aistear can be used in the range of early childhood settings including children’s own homes, childminding settings, full and part-time day-care settings, sessional services and infant classes in primary schools. Highlighting the fact that children learn many different things at the same time, Aistear highlights the critical role of play, relationships and language for young children’s learning. In doing this, it provides a guide to using play, interactions, partnerships with parents, and assessment to help children progress in their learning and development.

The Framework has both implicit and explicit links with the Primary School Curriculum (1999). With its focus on children from birth to six years, Aistear can play an important role in supporting continuity and progression in children’s learning.

Aistear reflects recent developments in understanding how children learn and develop in early childhood. These developments include the importance of a balance between adult-led and child-led activities.

Aistear also highlights play as a key way in which children learn and develop from birth to six years. Aistear can help a teacher to place play and active learning at the heart of the Infant Curriculum. It can also help with different assessment methods.
