Sažetak
Results presented in this paper were obtained from research on development of visual motor integration in children aged 6 to 10 years. The sample of subjects included 163 primary school children, 92 boys and 71 girls from grade 1 to grade 4. Micromotor efficiency of graphomotor type was assessed by the use of a test for evaluation of visual motor integration (VMI). The obtained results showed constant progression in the field of graphomotor skills in children. Statistically significant point of increase of visual motor integration has been found between children from first and second grade, in both boys and girls. The results also showed statistically significant difference in graphomotor skills between first graders in favour of girls. Findings imply significance of developmental period between 6 and 7 years in the process of visual motor integration in the field of graphomotor skills as an integrative part of the ontogenetic development.
