We have a new article published in 2024! In this case, in the Retos magazine, Mary Carmen González André and Lurdes Martínez-Minguez.
We leave you the summary of the article with the title “Correlación entre action, representation y cognición en las sesiones de psicomotricidad de educación infantil: Análisis cuantitativo”.
This article is the result of research carried out at three schools: Escola Agustí Bartra of Terrassa, Escola Itaca of Manresa and Escola Pau Casals of Vacarisses where the children’s experiences towards the support of the psychomotor therapist are analysed. It is directed and produced by Estrella Masabeu, Núria Franch and Josep Rota.
Lurdes Martínez Mínguez from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, I have been as an intern from November 16 to 25, 2023 at the School of Human Movement Sciences and Quality of Life, through the Psychomotor and Active Lifestyles Program.
I have developed both teaching and research and transfer activities.
As a teacher, I have given talks aimed at the teaching staff of the Department of Human Movement Sciences and Quality of Life, as well as for students studying Physical Education, Human Movement Sciences and Preschool Education. The diversity of teachers and students from different courses and subjects has favored the exchange of perspectives and teaching methodologies.
In the afternoons I have been able to share my experience and theoretical and practical knowledge with internship students and teachers from the CIUNA school.
I have also carried out a Training activity with the staff of the Ministry of Public Education of Costa Rica and with the national and regional coordination of the National Directorate of Education and Nutrition Centers and Early Childhood Care Centers. It was a very emotional experience in a school with many teachers that allowed me to get to know the school context of schools for boys and girls up to 12 years old.
Specifically, the topics of the talks and activities carried out have referred to:
• Psychomotor achievements and challenges currently.
• Psychomotor development in children from 0 to 3 years old.
• Psychomotor development in children from 0 to 6 years old.
• The role of the psychomotor specialist in the psychomotor session (part 1).
• The role of the psychomotor specialist in the psychomotor session (part 2).
• Graphics from psychomotor skills.
• Psychomotor skills as a tool for childhood development (professionals from public institutions in Costa Rica).
As research, work sessions have been held to exchange, discuss and define new lines and national and international research projects in the psychomotor discipline, between the Psychomotor Education Research Group of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and researchers. of the PSICOMI Program. As a result of the work carried out, joint thematic research priorities have been established between the two groups of researchers: childhood, adults (teaching bodies) and core institutions and populations that will allow growth and recognition of Psychomotor Skills in Costa Rica.
Another work carried out has been to advise the members of the PSICOMI Program in the preparation of a study plan to put together a Postgraduate Degree in Educational Psychomotor Skills, in order to be offered as soon as possible at this School and University of Costa Rica.
Last November 12 of 2023, at the Luzaro Eskola Conference, colleagues Estrella Masabeu, Núria Franch and Josep Rota presented the research work “los niños hablan, escuchemos”.
Using a qualitative methodology, the oral representations of 4- to 5-year-old children were analyzed.
A presentation that aims to claim Research in Education and the full recognition of Psychomotor as a profession.
We extend the applications for registration to the Postgraduate in
Psychomotor development from 0 to 8 years,
to the Child Education Technicians and the Superior Sports Technicians.
Are you a technician in Early Childhood Education or Senior Sports Technician and you want to train in the Postgraduate in Psychomotor Education for 0 to 8 years old (UAB)?
Next year 2023-2024 we will hold the 21st edition of the Postgraduate course in “Psychomotor Development from 0 to 8 years” of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and we think that this training can help you deepen your understanding of the world of psychomotor skills at the educational stage infantile
This 21st edition of the Postgraduate will be the 1st time that TEI and TSD students will be able to obtain the psychomotorist title. As a requirement to sign up, you must certify that you have professional experience with children, at least 3 years old.

TEACHER TRAINING IN ARGENTA (ITALY)
During the week of May 15 to 19 of 2023, teachers Lurdes Martínez and Carol Nieva will participate in a pedagogical training held in the municipality of Argenta (Italy).
During these training days, they visited childcare centers from 0 to 3 years old and learned about the general functioning of Argenta’s children’s service, its pedagogical and educational project, the general functioning of the family care service, etc.
It was a very interesting experience in which they also shared much knowledge with teachers from educational cycles for children in the Spanish state.
