Early Steps -liikuntaohjelman yhteydet 4-5-vuotiaiden päiväkotilasten motoristen perustaitojen kehitykseen
2008
Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are necessary skills for children to cope with their daily lives and to acquire a physically active lifestyle. Researchers have recommended that preschool-age children participate in a developmentally appropriate practice of balance, locomotor and manipulative skills for the promotion of their FMS.The purpose of this study was to examine the following questions: 1) Does an international Early Steps preschool physical education curriculum (PEC) (Zachopoulou et al. 2007) which lasts eight months have any effects on the FMS development of 4-5-year-old girls and boys in the time of one year? 2) How do the FMS of the 4-5-year-old girls and boys develop in one year?…
What factors relate to three profiles of perception of motor competence in young children?
2022
The study aims were to 1) examine profiles of perception of motor competence (PMC) in relation to actual motor competence (AMC), i.e. under-estimators (UEs), realistic estimators (REs) and over-estimators (OEs) and 2) investigate associations between the profiles and selected socioecological factors at the individual, family and environmental levels. PMC (Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence) and AMC (Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition) were administered to a representative sample of children from 37 childcare centres in Finland (n=441;6.2±0.6yrs;52% boys). Socioecological factors were investigated using a parental questionnaire. The three profiles were formed b…

Physically active play in the early years
2021
Babies have an inborn drive to be physically active, which serves as a necessary moderator for their development. Young children discover and learn new skills through movement, and this important bond between physical activity and development continues as children grow older. Babies are driven to be physically active, and this innate drive is a key aspect of development. Without this drive, babies would be content simply to have their basic needs met, such as feeding, hygiene, and interaction with another person. Consecutive learning moments create the foundation for overall development, and sensory stimulation and bodily movements combined with cognitive challenges form the basis for react…
Facilitators, teachers, observers, and play partners : Exploring how mothers describe their role in play activities across three communities
2019
The present study explored the perspectives of mothers from three communities regarding their role in play activities with their toddlers. The mothers of two-year-old children from Muenster, Germany (n = 34), Chennai, India (n = 36), and New York City, USA (n = 36), participated in the study. Qualitative content analysis was utilized to analyze the mothers' responses to semi-structured interview questions. Four roles were identified as characterizing the mothers' narratives, namely mothers as facilitators, teachers, play partners, or observers. The goal of facilitator was to support children's autonomy; teachers often described educational learning goals; and play partners and observers hig…
Progress through the Early Stages of Assimilation in Play Therapy with a Traumatized Six-Year-Old Girl
2021
We applied the assimilation of problematic experiences sequence (APES) to a six-year-old girl’s processing of traumatic experiences involving violence and death in play therapy. We analyzed the post-session notes from the first 34 sessions of a much longer treatment, during which the girl repeatedly enacted a drama we called the cottage play, involving characters assumed by the child and characters assigned to the therapist. We distinguished four phases based on changes in play themes. In phase 1, the girl expressed her need for safety in response to an overwhelming internal threat (APES stage 0, warded off/dissociated). In phase 2, she worked to escape and avoid the threat, referenced in t…
Leikin viemää : Fink, Winnicott ja leikin kokemuksellinen paikka
2022
Minne leikki vie meidät? Fenomenologi Eugen Finkin (1905–1975) teoria leikistä nojaa käsitteelliseen erotteluun subjektiivisen kuvittelun ja ulkoisen havainnon välillä, ja hän jäsentää leikin maailman näiden alueiden yhdistelmänä. Psykoanalyytikko Donald Winnicott (1896–1971) puolestaan hahmottelee leikin kokemuksellisena alueena, joka edeltää tällaisen erottelun jäsentymistä. Teorioiden keskinäinen suhde on mielenkiintoinen: Finkin näkökulmasta Winnicott ohittaa keskeisen fenomenologisen erottelun, kun taas Winnicottin kannalta Finkin teoria on adultomorfinen eli nojaa kategorioihin, jotka vakiintuvat lapsen kehityksessä vasta myöhemmin. Artikkeli tutkii näitä kahta teoriaa, arvioi niiden …
