Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of selected exercises on the motor and social development of children. The current research was a semi-experimental type that was conducted in the field using experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the research includes all the third-grade students (10,500 people) of Ahvaz city, of which 40 people were randomly selected (staged cluster) and then randomly assigned to two experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. Then the experimental group performed selected exercises for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week and each session was 45 minutes. Gross motor development test (TGMD-2) by Ulrich (2002) was used to measure basic skills and also Vineland social development scale (1989) was used to measure social development. Independent and dependent t tests were used for data analysis at a significance level of p>0.05. The results obtained from the research showed that there is a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in the development of movement skills (p 0.001, 8.433), manipulation skills (p 0.001, 10.951) and in the development movement (p 0.001, 13.203). Also, the findings showed that there is a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in social development (p<0.022, 2.469). Based on tese results, it can be concluded that the selected exercises can be used as a suitable program to improve motor and social development of students in the elementary schools.
