Resumen:
Psychomotricity in school contexts can be applied according to two currents: normative psychomotricity and dynamic psychomotricity. Although there has been research into the benefits of each one of these psychomotricity currents separately, there are no studies that compares the two types with one another. The aim of the present study was to establish if there were any significant differences between the two currents of psychomotricity at the level of general and psychomotor development in children at preschool age. At the same time, the study aimed to determine any emotional differences among 5-year-old children. Seventy-five pre-school children (aged between 3 and 5 years) were evaluated through standardised tests in two public schools, where 50.7% of the sample were girls. The results indicated that, in general, psychomotor development was significantly better in the group that had followed the dynamic methodology than in the group that had been taught using the normative methodology.
