| description | This study
was carried out to determine whether gross motor development of 3-7 years old
children differed according to their geographical regions. 131 children from
the Mediterranean Region, 149 children from the Southeastern Anatolia Region,
214 children from the Marmara Region, 107 children from the Aegean Region, 114
children from the Black Sea Region, 161 children from the Central Anatolia
Region, 115 from the Eastern Anatolia Region children were included in the
study. Of the children participating in the study, 475 were girls and 516 were boys.
In order to collect data, Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition
(TGMD-2) was used. Kruskal Wallis H test was used to compare locomotor,
object control and gross motor total test scores of the three, four, five, six
and seven age groups children according to the geographic regions.
The results
of the analysis showed that locomotor subtest scores of children aged 5 and 7
years were differentiated according to their geographical regions. Mann Whitney
U test was used to determine the difference between the two groups. As a result
of the paired comparisons, locomotor subtest scores of children in five age
group living in Black Sea Region were found to be significantly lower than
locomotor subtest scores of children living in Southeast Anatolia, Marmara and
Central Anatolia Regions. The locomotor subtest scores of the children seven
age in the Black Sea Region were significantly higher than the locomotor
subtest scores of children living in Southeast Anatolia and Eastern Anatolia
Regions. In addition, it was determined that gross motor total test scores of
the children of seven age groups differed according to the geographical region.
As a result, gross motor total test scores of children in seven age group
living in the Black Sea Region were found to be significantly higher than the
gross motor total test scores of children living in Eastern Anatolia. |
