Abstract
[b]Aim of the work.[/b] In our study, we attempted to define the level of the general body coordination and acquisition of chosen educational competences by children taking part in one-year-long pedagogical experiment with educational balls “edubal”.[b]Material and methods. [/b]Our research comprised children from one of primary schools in Wroclaw. The experimental group I was represented by 8 girls and 8 boys. The experimental group II included 7 girls and 7 boys. Subsequently, the control group was composed of 8 girls and 12 boys. The general body coordination was examined with General Body Coordination and Control Test by Kiphard and Schiling for children aged 5–4, while for determination of acquisition level of chosen educational competences we used test elaborated in Competence Examination Institute in Wałbrzych. The obtained results underwent a statistical analysis with Statistica 8.0.[b]Results and conclusions. [/b]Girls from experimental group I achieved better results than girls from two other groups EII and K in almost all trials in the range of general body coordination. The tests were conducted at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. The results of the second part of the research regarding general body coordination were much worse (both for girls and boys) than the results of the same groups in the first examination. Girls from the first experimental group obtained the best results among all groups in Competence Examination Institute Test. It was also the only group which improved their first results in the second part of our research. It is worth mentioning that the employment of games and exercises with the educational balls did not substantially influence the results in the test of the researched competence.
