Abstract

This research verifies and discusses the knowledge gathered by pedagogues on the importance of psychomotor development to childhood education. It is a qualitative study and was carried by means of a empirical research. Ten childhood education teachers took part in this research. Furthermore, the chosen instrument to collect data was a seven-question survey. The findings show that the educators had psychomotor-skill knowledge, and they regarded psychomotor activities as primordial to the children’s development. However, the activities they prescribed entail, basically, balance and motor coordination.
