Abstract

In the last decade, gaming has become one of the activities that many school-aged children have been using daily. As such, gaming has been having a bad effect on children’s physical activity but, at the same time, it has helped them in the process of learning English. The goal of the study was: 1) to establish a correlation between the frequency of gaming with motor abilities and grades in English; 2) to establish a correlation between motor abilities and English. Thirty-four 7th- graders (m=19, f=15; age 13.24±0.55) of a primary school in Split participated in the study. The subjects were tested in 3 motor and 1 functional ability test. Grades in English were collected. The participants also filled out the questionnaire on the frequency and manner of gaming. The questionnaire is reliable. There is no statistically significant correlation between the frequency of gaming and better grades in English. Girls game less than boys (MWU Test), have better grades in English, and achieve less in certain motor abilities (MWU Test trunk lifting; 6-min running). The findings suggest that by gaming we do not improve our knowledge of English but that gaming is statistically negatively correlated with motor abilities.

游戏、运动能力和英语知识之间的关系

在过去的十年里，游戏已经成为许多学龄儿童每天都在使用的活动之一。因此，游戏已经对孩子们的身体活动产生了不良影响，但与此同时，它在学习英语的过程中帮助了他们。本研究的目的是:1)建立游戏频率与运动能力和英语成绩之间的相关性;2)建立运动能力和英语之间的相关性。7年级34人(m=19, f=15;年龄(13.24±0.55)的斯普利特一所小学学生参加了研究。进行3项运动能力测试和1项功能能力测试。收集了英语成绩。参与者还填写了关于游戏频率和方式的问卷。问卷是可靠的。游戏频率与英语成绩之间没有统计学上的显著相关性。女生游戏比男生少(MWU测试)，英语成绩更好，在某些运动能力(MWU测试躯干举重)上实现较少;6分钟运行)。研究结果表明，游戏并不能提高我们的英语知识，但从统计数据来看，游戏与运动能力呈负相关。
