The aim of this study was to find out how does focusing on one locomotor skill in one lesson support acquiring locomotor skills and how does using accompanying music in movement education support acquiring locomotor skills. The focus of this study are the following locomotor skills: walking; running; jumping; marching, step-hop and skipping; galloping. Action research method was employed. The data was collected by teaching movement lessons in pre-school institution in which the aim of one lesson was to focus on acquiring one locomotor skill. Accompanying music was composed based on the specifics of a locomotor skill which was then used as a helping tool in the second lesson in which the content did not change. The results refer that focusing only on one locomotor skill in one lesson support acquiring locomotor skills and knowledge. Using observation and feedback in learning process help children to use their skills and knowledge outside of the classroom as well. Using proper accompanying music in pre-school movement education lessons helps children to focus on the activities and supports acquiring locomotor skills, illustrating the important parts of the skill. The use of music does not always motivate children. Music cannot dominate, it has to be used as a modest assistant in acquiring locomotor skills.estAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 EstoniakoolieelikudliikuminemagistritöödThesis
