2013
Respecting the individual possibilities of every child, respectively the adjustment of educational contents
of children’s real possibilities and needs is one of the basic principles in educational work with children as
well as in the realization of PE teaching process (Conception for nine years educational system in Republic
of Macedonia, 2007). In this sense, the goal of this study was to determine the compatibility between
children’s abilities and PE contents, through the analysis of the current PE curriculum for the fi rst grade in
Republic of Macedonia and determined structure of motor space of 6 years old children (fi rst grade pupils),
as well as to suggest diff erent activities that will innovate and enrich the current PE curriculum.
Method: Motor abilities of the fi rst grade pupils were determined as a part of larger longitudinal study
(Popeska, 2011) realized at a sample of 123 six years old children, pupils in the fi rst grade in fi ve primary
schools in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. Th e survey was conducted applying 33 motor test used for
estimation of nine motor abilities (coordination, speed, frequency of movement, explosive, repetitive and
static strength, balance, fl exibility and preciseness). Th e structure of motor space was determined using
factor analysis – promax procedure. Established motor abilities were used as a fundament for analysis of
educational contents from PE curriculum in the fi rst grade.
