| Introduction: Perceptual motor development is important for the optimal performance of motor skills. Also, socioeconomic status may affect perceptual motor development. Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between socio-economic status of perceptual-motor development of 11-12-year-old students. Method: The research sample consisted of 149 fifth and sixth grade students who were randomly selected. The instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire on socio-economic status( The validity and reliability of this questionnaire has been investigated by Khojasteh 1392 at the University of Isfahan) and a Bruininks-Oseretsky skill test. Data Descriptive statistics were used to describe the studied variable. Inferential statistics, regression analysis and Spearmen correlation coefficient were used to investigate the relationship between socio-economic variables with perceptual-motor development. Multivariate linear regression was used through coefficient B. Investigating the economic and social effects on students' perceptual-motor development. Significance level of all stages of data analysis was considered 0.05. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 16 software. Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between students' socio-economic status and fine) r=0.426 ، p<0.001) and gross(r=0.426 ، p<0.001) motor development, there is significance. But there is no significant relationship between students' social status. - Economic status and coordination of the upper extremities(r=0.002 ، p=0. 203 ). Conclusion: Given the importance of developing motor skills in students and the relationship between the development of these skills and socio-economic conditions, educators and teachers should provide the ground for the development of these skills in students with low socio-economic conditions and be sensitive to it. |
