Abstract
The aim of our research is to draft and attempt to validate the comprehensive interventional educational program for pre-school kids focused on all-around personal development. Side effect of the executed research should be the support of pre-school kid's natural and comprehensive kinetic development, sensorimotor, musical and rhytmical competences with the stress on personal health and hygiene.
Using the new modified test battery for musical/motor skills by pre-test and post-test after one school year intervention of our MBPE program, we have witnessed considerable improvements in aesthetical motoric exhibitions, in general quality of motoric and musical skills and in feelings towards the music. Kids aquired new competences from the fields of general knowledge and social communication too.
Strengthening and deepening of the interpersonal boundaries and relationships among the kids contributed to their orderliness and discipline. Analysing the average change of kid's musical/motor skills before and after the MBPE program intervention.
Kids rhythmic perception improved by 28,9%, time for rhytmic adaptability was reduced by 51,6%, music/motor memory improved by 28,8%, motor memory improved by 44,3%, kid's time coordination was for 50,9% faster, time needed for dynamic balance was reduced by 24,7%. Considering our results, we can ascertain that our MBPE program has a positive influence on, not only kid's musical/motor skills but they acquired a wide set of new physical competences, experience, musical competences, social skills as well.
Our MBPE program is focused on kindergartens, but it can be also applied to lower grades of primary school.
