Analysis of psychomotricity in digital didactic materials in early childhood

Abstract

This article is part of the research project titled “Digital Teaching Materials in Early Childhood Education: Analysis and Proposals for Use at School and at Home (INFANCI@ DIGIT@L).” The fundamental objective was to analyse the technical and pedagogical characteristics of the digital teaching resources and materials (DDM) aimed at boys and girls in the second cycle of early childhood education (period 3-6 years) as. Here the authors analyse the supply of digital educational resources offered on institutional platforms. Specifically, this text focuses on materials that may be useful for the psychomotor development of early school-age children. Ad hoc elaborated matrices were used in which the information related to the identification and location of the resource, typology, available languages, area, theme, and recommended levels of implementation. The results indicate the reduced offer of digital resources designed for this purpose. It is concluded that the need to continue exploring the specific offer for minors is due to the importance of psychomotor development at these ages.
