چکیده

هدف از پژوهش حاضر، بررسی تأثیر فعالیت‌های حرکتی ظریف بر رشد و بهبود توجه در دختران هفت تا 10 ساله بود. این پژوهش نیمه‌تجربی با استفاده از طرح پیش‌آزمون ـ پس‌آزمون مشتمل‌ بر یک گروه تجربی و یک گروه کنترل صورت گرفت. جامعۀ آماری پژوهش را دختران هفت تا 10 سالۀ‌ یکی از مدارس ابتدایی شهر اصفهان تشکیل دادند که از این میان، یک گروه 120 نفرۀ دردسترس به‌عنوان نمونه انتخاب شده و به دو گروه 60 نفره (یک گروه تجربی و یک گروه کنترل) تقسیم گردید. شایان‌ذکر است که افراد نمونه به‌صورت مساوی در چهار گروه سنی 15 نفره جای گرفتند. برای سنجش میزان توجه در کودکان از آزمون "بوناردل" استفاده شد که این آزمون طی دو مرحله (قبل و بعد از 12 هفته انجام حرکات ظریف) اجرا گردید. تحلیل آماری نیز با استفاده از تحلیل کوواریانس صورت گرفت. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که مهارت‌های حرکتی ظریف تأثیر معناداری بر رشد و توسعۀ توجه کودکان دبستانی داشته است و اثر سن در بین گروه‌ها معنادار می‌باشد. یافته‌های این پژوهش نظریۀ مونته‌سوری را مبنی‌بر این‌که فعالیت‌های ظریف، توجه را در کودکان افزایش می‌دهد، تأیید می‌کند و نشان می‌دهد که این فعالیت‌ها از پتانسیل بالقوه‌ای در رشد و توسعۀ توجه در کودکان دبستانی برخوردار می‌باشند

چکیده [English]

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of fine motor activities on developing and improving student attention. This research was semi-empirical including pretest and posttest plans for control and experimental groups. Population consists of all 7-10 years old girls from one of the elementary schools in Esfahan city. Studying a sample of 120 pupils indicates that fine motor skills have an impact on the development of children's attention. Boyardee test was used to assess the children's attention. This test was used before and after 12 weeks of fine motor activity of children, and ANCOVA test was applied for statistical analysis. Research findings showed that fine motor skills have an impact on the development of children's attention and the effect of age between the groups was statistically significant. The results confirm the theory of Montessori, which means fine motor activities increase attention in children. And fine motor activities have a potential for development and improvement of children attention.
