Abstract

Background & Purpose: Often, the beneficial effects of explicit and implicit instructions have been confirmed in past investigations. However, its lack of influence has been observed in some other studies. Therefore, contradictions in research results and failure to implement these guidelines are important in children with developmental coordination disorder. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the explicit and analogy instruction on motor learning in children with developmental coordination disorder.
Methodology: 45 girls aged 8 to 12 years old were randomly divided into three groups of 15 (control, explicit learning, analogy learning). Participants performed dart throw tests at the 5-time (pre-test, first-time recall, transfer, second-order reminder). The explicit instruction group received instructional instruction verbally, the implicit instruction manual was used as the focus of internal attention, which was a spring-loaded analogy and the control group (no instructions received).
Results: Mixed analysis of variance showed that both explicit instructions (P = 0.001) and analogy (P = 0/003) guidelines had a significant effect on improving dart throw. In addition, the results indicated that the explicit instruction had a significant effect on dart throwing children with developmental coordination disorder in comparison with the analogy.
Conclusion: It is suggested to improve the performance and learning of children with developmental coordination disorder that is used by explicit instructional guidelines.
