Educational Sciences

Introduction: Psychomotor education has its roots in theories and practices of child development, psychology and motor skills. It is a pedagogical approach aimed at acquiring knowledge and facilitating school learning by using the child's motor experience, in particular for the concepts of space, time and energy, by combining the development of the nervous system and educational actions. The general objective of this study was to analyse the influence of psychomotor learning and its effect on the skills of the young child. Methods: It consisted of a review of the scientific literature on the concept of psychomotor education and its impact on the child's preschool learning. To analyse the data, we used a reading grid to describe the importance of psychomotricity in the acquisition of skills necessary for the development of children's abilities. Results: The analysis of several articles on the subject made it possible to describe the impact of psychomotor education on the development of pre-school learning, particularly logicomathematics, writing and reading. Conclusion: Our study allowed us to synthesize a large number of studies in order to analyze the close relationship between psychomotor education and preschool learning
