RESUMO

The motor activity is of great importance to the childrens global development through the activities which are offered to them. Children develop their own conscience and the world outside; so, they are very important to the formation of their personality. The main purpose of this work is to analyze the effective job of a professional of physical Education who deals with integral formation of students aged between 6 and 7. It also tries to verify whether affective, cognitive and motor aspects are being applied to such subject. This research is said to be a kind of study which refers to quantitative and qualita- tive approach. Twenty-seven children (belonging to both sexes) were selected to take part in this work . They were studying first grade in a state elementary school, located in the west part of the State of São Paulo. As an evaluation instrument to measure the psycho- motor development of the students was used the SMD (Scale of Motor Development), which was standardized especially for Brazilians by Rosa Neto in 2002). Such scale is formed by the following tests: thin motility, global motility, balance, corporal scheme ( imitation of posture and velocity) space organization, temporal organization (language and temporal structures) and laterality. The first evaluation was employed from April 30 to June 6, in 2008. The second one was employed from November 3 to November 12, in the same year. The aim of this evaluation was to make a comparison with the psychomotor development of the students, making use of tables, graphics, teaching plan of physical education and interviews. Interviews were made with teachers who work with those children. Physical education classes were also observed and the pedagogical plans of teaching were studied carefully. The use and interpretation of information followed by SMD, as well as by scholarly persons who have a lot to do with this research, were strictly obeyed. The results showed that most of those children presented a dissatisfactory psychomotor profile. This means that such children may have difficulty in school in the future, since a good psychomotor development is essential in learning.
