Motor skills represent a primary element of expression and contact with others in the experience of children aged 3 to 10 years. "Learning mediated by body experiences acts on the formation of self-esteem and self-perception and has a positive influence on the mental, physical and social health of children. These are all prerequisites that also help prevent various developmental diseases and promote healthy lifestyles."
It is important for teachers to have accurate information on the state of their pupils' motor skills to enable them to develop appropriate and targeted teaching activities. Colleagues describe the development of a valid test for measuring these skills, some results and monitoring perspectives for the coming years.
