Abstract
Between 2017-2020 I was a member in the project called „Opportunity Maker Kindergarten” (EFOP-3.1.3-16-2016-00001). It was organised by the National Educational Office. The purpose of this project is helping and supporting the kindergartens which are teaching and educating lots of disadvantaged (and roma) children. There was an important part of this work: taking an ability measurement by the kindergarten teachers. It was a special measurement, because we collected their judgements of some statement. In the study, we looked at children aged 5-7 years. In this study, we focus on an important aspect of the survey, namely the examination of motor skills. We obtained results in five categories (1, spatial orientation and movement coordination, 2, body awareness, sense of balance, 3, physical fitness, 4, reaction speed, 5, fine motor skills), with five dimensions per category (except for the body awareness category), from the kindergartens participating in the project in the three selected counties.In the overall survey, kindergartens provided information on a total of 1,112 children, with the following numbers of responses in the three counties analysed: 259 in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, 178 in Hajdú-Bihar and 271 in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg. No significant difference was observed in the results: only a few percent difference can be detected in the sample.
