Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 幼兒教育學系碩士班 === 97 === The research purpose of is to design a young children’ physical program with the feature of play. The research measure is "The Physical Ability Measure for 3-4 Year-old Children", including eight items: muscular strength, flexibility, balancing, explosive muscular strength, speed, agility, coordination, and muscular endurance. Subjects are eight-seven 3-4 year-old children from seven classes at five public and private preschools in Taitung. They are assigned into the experimental group and the control group; and there are forty-three children in the experimental group and forty-four in the control group. Both groups participate in pretest and posttest; besides, the experimental group takes the physical program. The data is analyzed by "Pared Samples T Test" and "One Way Analysis of Variance". The results are as in the followings: (1) The experimental group shows significant improvement on explosive muscular strength, speed, agility, coordination, and muscular endurance. The control group shows significant improvement on muscular strength, agility, coordination, and muscular endurance. (2) The experimental group exhibits significant improvement than control group on explosive muscular strength and speed items. That is to say, the program provides positive effects for 3-4 year-old young children on the development of explosive muscular strength and speed. Finally, the recommendations regarding the methodology and teaching methods are present.
