Abstract

The main purpose of our research is that of the most picture of learning and practice of psychomotor skills in Childhood and Handicapped Education in the province of Huelva, Spain. For it, we will use the knowledge grounded in experience expressed by teachers that develop their work in every educational level. In order to carry the above mentioned objective out, our framework will be settled in three phases. So, in the first of them our concern consist of gaining general data on the reality of psychomotor skills in the educational centres of Huelva city. For recollecting this data we will use a specially designed questionnaire which will be applied with a sample of four-hundred and eighty teachers. Afterwards, the data then obtained were subjected to a descriptive analysis, whose results were sorted out in three sections: 1. Descriptive statistics. 2. Reduction of dimensionality. 3. Bivariable analysis. In the second-phase, we wish to know the opinions of those teachers which were asked using a format of depth interview, preferring so in that way the �Group of Discussion� as technique to collate information. Among the main conclusions is pertinent to mention that the most of teachers express favourable comments on the educational use of psychomotor skills learning in school (the Cluster that contains the maximum of experimental fellows so it indicates). On the other side, learning and accompanied psychomotor educational tools while programming different activities in the classroom besides of methodological criteria are variable that often are connected with more favourable opinions within this discipline. It is also important to pay attention on the viability of psychomotor training as key axis of the Educational Project in an Educational centre, as well as the levels of expectancy of teachers on the advantages and disadvantages of practising psychomotor skills outside of school context. Finally, we think that the knowledge of all these variables that affect in a more or less way the scope of that in different grade favourability of our teachers suggest alternatives of improving the psychomotor educational practice in Centres and also new lines of advance in our future research.
