Abstract

In school initiation ages regardless of sex, cognitive development does not limit the level of basic motor skills such as a sense of balance, locomotion, and manipulation. Objective: In this research work, the relationship between the level of cognitive development and the level of basic motor skills in schoolchildren of the Oxford Educational Unit of the city of Ambato, during the period April-August 2021, was analyzed. Methodology: It is a quantitative, non-experimental investigation of correlational scope with a hypothetical-deductive method of investigation. For data collection, two instruments were used that made it possible to measure each of the variables in a study sample of 18 schoolchildren belonging to the Educational Unit of the city of Ambato. Results: The research results were verified through the Chi-square test with bilateral asymptotic differentiation at a level of P≥ 0.05, resulting in a non-significant statistical value at the level of relationship between the variables studied. Conclusion: It is concluded that the level of cognitive development in these ages regardless of the school's gender is not related to the level of basic motor skills.
