Embodied Writing Versus Conventional Writing Practice for Handwriting

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Child Development

In brief

This randomized clinical trial will involve 148 preschooler children of age group 3 to 6 years old with handwriting difficulties from Cambridge Foundation School FSD and Behan Je Memorial school FSD, Pakistan. The participants will be divided into two groups: Group A will follow conventional writing practices with parental ergonomics guidance, while Group B will engage in embodied writing practices combined with ergonomic education for parents. Over 8 weeks, handwriting legibility, speed, and motor coordination will be assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Handwriting Proficiency Screening Questionnaire and the Minnesota Handwriting Assessment Scale. The study aims to evaluate each approach's effectiveness in addressing handwriting challenges, providing insights into embodied learning's potential impact on early childhood education. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS version 23.
