| Sumario: | Visual motor integration is defined as integration between visual perception and motor skills which include especially eye-hand coordination. While most of children are able to reach sufficient maturity in order to realize visual-motor integration skills until six-seven ages, others aren’t able to reach. What will support children’s future school achievement are to determine the problems of visual-motor integration skills that develop rapidly in preschool period, and with these findings, to prepare training programs that are for children ‘s needs, and to start these training programs in early period. This study aims to establish whether visual perception training has an effect on five-six years of children’s visual-motor integration skills. Using the pretest-posttest control group experimental design, the study was conducted on 60-72 month old children attending Trakya University’s preschool. There were a total of 70 participants free of disabilities. Of these, 35 were included in the experimental group, and the remaining 35 in the control group. Those in the experimental group received visual perception training for seven weeks, offered in 30 to 40-minute sessions three times weekly. Information about the preschoolers and their families were obtained by a “General Information Form” designed by the researchers, and children’s visual perceptions were identified by the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI-5th) designed by Beery-Buktenica (2004) and translated into Turkish and tested for validity and reliability by Ercan and Aral (2011). Two-factor ANOVA was used for the analysis. The results showed a meaningful difference in experimental and control children’s visual-motor integration scores in favor of the former (p |
