Abstract

Bu çalışmada, yeni yürüyen döneminde motor gelişim kuramsal bilgilerini güncel alanyazınla birlikte sistematik bir şekilde incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Bir yaşından üç yaşına kadar olan dönemi ifade eden yeni yürüyen dönemi, çevrelerini keşfetme ve bağımsızlık istekleriyle birlikte motor gelişimin hızlı ilerlediği bir süreçtir. Çalışmada 2014-2023 tarihleri arasında, belirli veri tabanlarında yayınlanan, yeni yürüyen dönemindeki çocukların motor gelişimine dayalı toplam 44 araştırma makalesi yer almaktadır. Yeni yürüyen dönemi fiziksel gelişim özellikleri, motor gelişim özellikleri, motor gelişimi etkileyen faktörler ve motor gelişimin desteklenmesi ile ilgili konular güncel alanyazın ışığında ele alınmıştır. Alanyazında yeni yürüyen dönemi ve motor gelişimle ilgili az sayıda çalışma yer almaktadır. Özellikle ulusal alanyazında güncel araştırmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Yeni yürüyen dönemi motor gelişimin diğer gelişim alanlarıyla ilişkilerinin incelendiği çalışmalardan hareketle bu alanda yapılacak çalışmaların erken müdahale programları ve eğitim programlarına katkı sunması beklenmektedir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
