V. LESSON CONTENT
Gross motor development refers to acquiring skills that involve the large
muscles. These gross motor skills are categorized into three: locomotor, non-
locomotor and manipulative skills. Locomotor skills are those that involve going
from one place to another, like walking, running, climbing, skipping, hopping,
creeping, galloping, and dodging. Non-locomotor ones are those where the
child stays in place, like bending, stretching, turning and swaying. Manipulative
skills are those that involve projecting and receiving objects, like throwing,

At the heart of the preschooler years is their interest to draw and make other
forms of artistic expressions. This form of fine motor activity is relevant to preschoolers.
Viktor Lowenfeld studied this and came up with the stages of drawing in early
childhood.
1. Stage 1. Scribbling Stage: this stage begins with large zig-zag lines which
later become circular markings. Soon discrete shapes are drawn. The child
may start to name his/her drawing towards the end of this stage.
2. Stage 2. Preschematic Stage: may already include early representations. At
this point adults may be able to recognize the drawings. Children at this stage
tend to give the same names to their drawings several times. Drawings
usually comprise of prominent head with basic element
3. Stage 3. Schematic Stage: more elaborate scenes are depicted. Children
usually draw from experience and exposure.
The kind of nutrition a preschooler gets has far-reaching effect on his physical
growth and development. The preschooler’s nutritional status is the result of what
nutrients he or she actually takes in checked against the nutritional requirement for his /
her age.
Preschoolers benefit from about 10-12 hours of sleep each day. It is when they are
asleep that vital biological processes that affect physical and cognitive development take
place. During sleep, especially in the dream state, growth hormones are released. Blood
supply to the muscles are likewise increased helping preschoolers regain energy. At this
stage while dreaming, increased brain activity is also attained.
Preschoolers use symbolic thought in play, reading and writing when, for
instance, children pretend that one thing represents another such as a wooden block
used as a microphone in a magic sing and when they pretend to be dog BANTAY while
in a sociodramatic play.
Brain research has also pointed out the crucial role of the environment. Experts
have shown specific areas of brain activity that respond to environmental stimulation.
Just as an enriching environment favors the preschooler’s brain development, strong
evidence also show that highly stressful environments marred by trauma and chaos
affect the cognitive development of preschoolers.

For Piaget, private speech is egocentric and immature, but for Vygotsky it is
important tool of thought during early childhood. Full cognitive development requires
social interaction and language.
Vygotsky asserted that preschool children are unable to achieve their highest
cognitive development (language development included) on their own and that they can
improve their cognitive development through the use of scaffolding from more-skilled
children and adults. He introduced the term Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) to
refer to tasks too difficult to a child to master alone but can be mastered with the
guidance and assistance of adults or more skilled children (Santrock, 2002).
Memory is a process by which people and other organisms encode, store and
retrieve information. There are three types of memory:
a) Short Memory: holds information from the world in it original sensory form
for only an instant, not much longer than the information is exposed to the
visual, auditory and other senses.
b) Short Term Memory (Working memory): a limited capacity memory system
in which information is retained for as long as 30 seconds unless the
information is rehearsed in which case it can be retained longer.
c) Long-term Memory: is relatively permanent type of memory that holds huge
amounts of information for a long period of time.
Schemas – are concepts and knowledge about events that influence how an
individual interprets information.
Basic Processes:

Memory Strategies: are cognitive process that do not occur automatically but require
work and effect.
1. Rehearsal – is the extended repetition of material after it has been
presented.
2. Organization- is the grouping or arranging of items into categories. The use
of organization improves long-term memory.
3. Elaboration – involves going beyond the information given in order to make
information more memorable.
4. Imagery – involves sensations without the presence of corresponding
external stimuli. It is another strategy to improve memory.
Preschoolers’ Initiative
Erickson’s view of initiative aptly portrays the emotional and social changes that
happen during the preschool years. As discussed in module 7, preschoolers deal with
the psychological conflict of initiative versus guilt. Erickson believed that healthy
preschoolers develop initiative, the tendency of preschoolers to want to take actions and
assert themselves.
As preschoolers go through the conflict of initiative vs guilt, they show so much
energy in doing imaginative play activities. Consequently, the child may develop
excessive guilt. Although a good amount of guilt helps in making children take
responsibility for their behavior, excessive guilt hampers emotional growth. Preschoolers
who are always punished and criticized end up constructing a view of themselves as
being “salbahe” (bad), “bobo” 9dumb) or even “walang kwenta” (worthless). This is really
sad because childhood years should be happy years.
The key thing to remember is to apply “judicious permissiveness”. This
involves setting realistic boundaries that keep preschoolers safe and respectful of self
and others, while allowing them greater opportunity to explore, take risks and to engage
in creative processes. Preschoolers will develop a healthy sense of initiative in an
affirming, encouraging and stimulating environment.

By the end of toddlerhood, preschoolers come out with a clear sense that they
are a separate and distinct person. With their ability to make representations, they can
now think and reflect about themselves. Self-concept refers to the way one sees
himself, a general view about one’s abilities, strength on observable characteristics and
his/her usual beliefs, emotions and attitudes. An important aspect of self-concept is self-
esteem, which specifically refers to one’s judgement about one’s worth.
Environment Factors and Gender in the Preschoolers’ Socio-emotional
Development
Play is the main agenda of the preschool years. Play has a social dimension. As the
preschooler develops, social interaction with playmates increases. Mildred Parten, in
1930’s did a study on children’s behavior which led to “Parten’s Stages of Play”. The
stages describe the play development of children and the gradual increase of social
interaction as they go through these stages.
