| Summary: | 碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 體育學系運動教練碩博士班 === 102 === Goal of the present study was to investigate the contribution of exercise and game curriculum on the motor skill development in children with and without DCD. Fifty-six 8-9 year-old pupils from 2 of 11 classes in one elementary school in New Taipei City were recruited. The SPE was provided twice a week to replace the original PE course for 1classes (n=28, 15 males, 13 females) but the 2nd class’s (control, n=28, 15 males, 13 females) PE course was not altered. The age-matched tests of Movement Assessment Battery for Children II (M-ABC II) were used to assess the motor skill development of pupils. Children who scored under 56 points were assorted as the DCD group.For the DCD children (n=26), M-ABC Test score before and after SPE were 70.3±0.3 up to 80.5±1 (paired t-test, p<.05), respectively. Besides, 21 of 26 DCD children of SPE group were announced as normal after 10-wk. Although test scores of with and without DCD children in control group increased slightly, (70.5±1.8 vs 71.1±2.7, 45.6±6.6 vs 51.3±7.9, paired t-test, p<.05). Besides, the post intervention mean value still in the definition range of DCD children. Thus, comparing with a routine physical education course, this exercise and game curriculum is more effective to the motor skill development of normal pupils. Furthermore, the latter reveals it’s therapeutically potential of 8-9 year-old children with DCD.
