Özet
This paper reviewed scientific data regarding the efficacy of motor skill interventions on the development of fundamental motor skills (FMS) in typically developing preschoolers (ages 4 - 6) in Turkey. A systematic search was conducted for Turkish printed theses and research articles published between January 1980 and September 2012. A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria for this literature review. The studies selected had a combined sample size of 1,111 preschool children and the sample sizes ranged from 52 to 240 (average sample size 58.8) per study. Our findings indicated that motor skill interventions are effective at improving FMS in children. This review also highlights the limited number of existing interventions to improve motor development among young children in Turkey. It is important to continue determining the most effective characteristics of motor skill interventions (i.e. minutes of instruction time, instructional approaches, providers) to shape policy and curriculum recommendations for structured movement programs in early childhood settings. © IDOSI Publications, 2013.
