| Summary: | Children have a natural tendency to participate in psychomotor activities from their early years movement has been an integral part of their lives and the center of their learning process. Sports are a perfect medium to develop the social and emotional skills of a child. This study used the theories of Erik Erikson and Albert Bandura as a guide to understand the socio-emotional development of a child. This study aimed to determine the effects of a progressive and traditional after-school psychomotor program on the social and emotional development of a 9-11 year old child. To gather the needed data, twenty participants from a progressive and traditional school were interviewed and asked to draw their self and family to assess their socio-emotional development. The parents of the respective participants, coaches, PE teachers and sports moderators were also interviewed. The data gathered was analyzed and assessed by the researchers to determine the results. The study came up with the conclusion that there only minor differences between traditional and progressive after-school sports program. What's important to note is that sports has an overall positive effect on the social and emotional development of a child, specifically one that is 9-11 years old. These effects will only remain positive if it is done in moderation, not forced onto the child, something enjoyed by the child and simply helps the researchers recommended that further research should be conducted on developing an ideal after-school sports program. |
