The purpose of the present study was to examine the hand-eye coordination, attention, balance and motor skill differences in school children aged 9-10 in terms of gender. A total of 38 children, 21 boys with an average age of 9.9 ± 0.41 years and 17 girls with a mean age of 9.9 ± 0.26 years, participated in the study. Participants performed Two-Arm Coordination Test for hand-eye coordination, Cognitrone for attention, Flamingo-balance test for balance and ball throw test for motor skills. Statistical analyses revealed no significant differences in hand eye-coordination overall scores between boys and girls (p.05). In attention overall scores, boys had higher scores than girls, but this difference was not statistically significant (p.05). The balance test scores also revealed no significant difference between girls and boys (p.05). Boys’ motor skill test scores were higher than that of the girls but again this difference was not statistically significant (t=1.20, p=.24). As a result, it can be said that there is no gender difference in hand-eye coordination, attention, balance and motor skill variables among 9-10-year-old children. Plans can be made with mixed groups in the work to be done on this age group. It is thought that concerted coordination, balance, attention and motor skills training may have a positive effect on this age group in both genders. |
