Parental and Educator Perceptions of Implementing Standardized Screenings for Early Detection of Motor Skills in Preschoolers: A Representative Survey
Background
Motor skill development in early childhood is essential for children's overall growth, including social participation and academic readiness. Despite the importance of motor skills, Austria's preventive health program for preschoolers currently lacks standardized motor screenings. This study explores the perceptions of parents and kindergarten educators regarding the potential implementation of regular, standardized motor skill screenings in kindergartens across Tyrol.
Methods
In April–May 2024, questionnaires were distributed to 25 kindergartens across Tyrol. Parents and educators responded to structured and open-ended questions on the perceived importance, feasibility and potential impact of mobility screenings. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively, whereas qualitative data underwent thematic analysis to identify key themes regarding attitudes and practical considerations for implementing mobility screenings.
Results
A total of 892 parents and 19 educator teams responded. Both strongly supported mobility screenings, with 90.6% of the parents viewing them as important as existing health screenings and 100% of educators valuing their importance regarding children's motor development. Qualitative responses from parents emphasized the role of mobility screenings in promoting general development while highlighting the need for a child-friendly, voluntary approach. Educators not only showed strong support, noting the feasibility and benefit of daily routines, but also identified logistical and communication challenges regarding follow-up. Both groups acknowledged the potential of standardized screenings for early identification, allowing timely developmental support.
Conclusion
The findings underscore the perceived importance of mobility screening in kindergarten to identify motor skill deficits in early childhood, an insight strongly supported by both educators and parents. Stakeholder support is a critical prerequisite for potential policy adaptations towards offering standardized kindergarten mobility screenings. To ensure effective integration, practical factors such as logistics, tool selection and accessibility must be addressed.
期刊介绍:
Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
