十二歲動作發展協調障礙國中生在魏氏兒童智力量表第三版之智力特質

發展協調障礙兒童之特性研究為近年來適應體育運動領域的熱門主題，我國從未探討動作協調能力有障礙的兒童其智力程度。因此本篇研究目的在於評量十二歲動作協調能力的盛行率、智力表現，並了解十二歲學童動作協調能力與智力程度的相關。本研究共收集十二歲到十二歲十一個月動作協調能力有問題的學童21名(男生11名、女生10名)、及年齡層相同之動作協調能力優秀的學童22名(男生16名、女生6名)、並且使用「兒童動作評估量表測試工具(Movement Assessment Battery for Children test)」檢測兒童之動作協調能力，以及使用魏氏兒童智力量表第三版進行智力評量，研究發現智力評量方面動作協調能力有障礙的族群在全量表智商、作業智商、知覺組織因素、專心注意因素、處理速度因素比動作協調能力佳族群差，運動能力與智商是有低度相關的，運動能力越好智商的表現越佳。因此建議教育界在教導這類學童時能注意其理解狀況並能多給予協助，希望教育主管單位深思學童身體的活動亦能刺激認知能力的發展。

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) has become a very popular topic in the field of adapted physical activity. However, the relationship between the motor coordination ability and the level of intelligence in children with DCD has not been examined in Taiwan. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of DCD and the intelligence of twelve- year-old children and also understand their relationship between motor ability and intelligence. 21 children with DCD who are from 12 years old to 12 years and 11 months old (11 boys and 10girls) and 22 children of the same age whose movement coordination is good (16 boys and 6 girls) participated in the study. We used the Movement Assessment Battery for Children test to evaluate children’s movement coordination and used WISC-III to examine their intelligence. The results showed that those who have DCD were worse than those who have good developmental coordination in Full Scale IQ, Performance IQ, Perceptual Organization Index, Freedom from Distractibility Index, Processing Speed Index. It also showed that motor ability and IQ were related to certain degrees. Children have better motor ability and also have better IQ. Therefore, when educators teach children with DCD, they should pay more attention on children’s comprehension condition and give them more support. The educational authority should concern children’s physical activities in order to stimulate the development of their cognitive ability.
