Inter-relações entre o desempenho no processo de aprendizagem escolar e o desenvolvimento das capacidades motoras: revisão da literatura

Abstract

This literature review aimed to identify the main relationships between the learning difficulties (LD) and deficits in motor development, as well as analyze the main motor deficits associated with this condition. We conducted a survey of the available evidences by electronic search at the main databases (Lilacs, Medline/Pubmed, Bireme, Portal Capes, SciELO), with articles published between 2006 and 2014 whose sample contemplate school children enrolled in the school system, with a history of poor school performance. The articles provide evidences of the relation between the LD and the impacts on the engine development, since children with LD generally have poor motor skills compared to their typically developing peers. The conclusion is the need to evaluate not only the specific difficulties and neurological functions related to learning, but also the motor aspects involved in the development of children of school age. Such perceptions are effective in developing preventive intervention plans / rehabilitators, reducing the impacts of such difficulties in the learning process, helping a better school performance.
