體能遊戲課程對幼兒平衡能力之影響研究

Abstract

摘 要 本研究主要目的在探討實施幼兒體能遊戲課程對幼兒平衡能力之影響，藉由體能遊戲課程的介入，瞭解幼兒平衡能力改變之情形。本研究以5至6 歲幼兒為研究參與者，實驗組21名，控制組19名，共計40名。實驗組介入八週十六次每次三十分鐘之幼兒體能遊戲課程教學，於教學前後進行動態平衡能力及靜態平衡能力測驗，所得結果與控制組進行比較。依據體能遊戲課程前後之幼兒動、靜態平衡能力測驗結果，以描述性統計與t檢定作為平衡能力之差異分析，其顯著水準定為.05。資料分析結果如下： 一、靜態平衡能力方面：教學前後，實驗組在閉眼單足測驗中有顯著進步，控制組則沒有差異。教學後，實驗組與控制組沒有顯著差異。 二、在動態平衡能力方面：教學前後，實驗組在走平衡木測驗中有顯著進步，控制組則沒有差異。教學後，實驗組與控制組沒有顯著差異。 因此，體能遊戲課程教學後實驗組與控制組在動態平衡能力及靜態平衡能力雖沒有顯著差異，但實驗組教學後之平衡能力獲得改善。Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of pre-school children’s balance abilities by implementing physical fitness programs through play. There were 40 children at the age of 5 or 6 in this study. The children were divided into two groups, the experimental group (EP) with 21 children and the control group (CP) with 19 children. The physical fitness programs were implemented to EP for 16 times within 8 weeks, each time for 30 minutes. All of the children in both groups were tested on static and dynamic balance abilities before and after the physical fitness programs. The test results of EP on static and dynamic balance abilities were compared with the test results of CP. According to the test results of both groups before and after the physical fitness programs, and on both static and dynamic balance abilities, we used describing statistics and t-test to analyze the difference between the two groups. The alpha level was set at 0.5. The results of the tests were analyzed as following. 1. About static balance abilities, the test results before the physical fitness programs were compared with the test results after the physical fitness programs. The children in experimental group showed significant improvements when they were tested to stand on single leg with their eyes closed after the physical fitness programs, but the children in the control group didn’t show any significant. However, there was not much difference between two groups after the physical fitness programs. 2. About dynamic balance abilities, children in experimental group showed significant improvements when they were tested to walk on the balance beam after the physical fitness programs, but children in control group didn’t show any significant improvements after the physical fitness programs. However, there was not much difference between the two groups after the physical fitness programs. It was concluded that there was not much difference between EP and CP about dynamic and static balance abilities after physical fitness programs, but in experimental group, children’s balance abilities had been improved after the physical fitness programs.
