A quantitative study of 50 children from nine childcare institutions of varying socio-economic circumstances, within the Gauteng Province, was undertaken. The participants came from different race groups, genders and their ages ranged from 6 to 10 years. Interview questionnaires were used to obtain the relevant information on client and environmental factors related to the institutions that could influence visual motor integration. The Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration, 4th Edition (DTVMI) was used to obtain an objective measure of the participants' visual motor integration abilities. The analysis of the data revealed statistically significant differences in the mean standard scores related to age, types of play engaged in and the socioeconomic circumstances of the institutions. Other factors contributing to lower scores included length of institutionalisation, health, coping with academic tasks and the play resources available in the institutions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
