PANCHI CULQUI, Willams Ernesto et al. Influence of music on the motor and emotional development of 8-10 year-old children. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2019, vol.38, n.2, pp. 104-121. Epub 31-Out-2019. ISSN 1561-3011.
Introduction:
Child motor and emotional development is essential to social sciences, since a variety of methods may be applied to strengthen physical capacities and social skills. Music could be a significant motivational method to improve motor and emotional aspects.
Objective:
Determine the influence of music on the motor and emotional development of 8-10 year-old children.
Methods:
Forty children were selected by intentional non-probabilistic sampling to form a control group (C), and 41 were selected to form an experimental group (E) (age range: 8-10 years). Psychomotor and emotional responses were similar in the two independent groups. A psychomotor and emotional intervention program was implemented in the academic year 2017-2018. The program was basically the same for the two groups, except that in the experimental group emphasis was placed on motivational musical stimuli.
Results:
The Friedman test found significant differences between the two independent groups in the pretest and the post-test (p= 0.000), with negative categories prevailing in the pretest and positive categories in the post-test. Both independent groups underwent significant improvement in the study variables, with a predominance of the "Very satisfactory" and "Satisfactory" categories. The experimental group, however, exhibited better average ranges in the positive categories of "Very satisfactory" (E= 22.60; C= 18.40) and "Satisfactory" (E= 23.65; C= 17.35), and lower average ranges in the negative categories "Scarcely satisfactory" (E= 14.16; C= 26.40) and "Not satisfactory" (E= 17.70; C= 23.30), though the "Scarcely satisfactory" category did show significant differences (r= 0.001) in favor of the experimental group.
Conclusions:
Evidence is provided of the potential of music as a teaching-learning method, since the experimental group obtained better psychomotor and emotional results than the control group.
