Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood and adulthood. Children who are entering adolescence are going through many changes (physical, intellectual, personality and social development). Motor creativity is a new ways of acting adaptive in new situations. Movement creativity is a key factor in motor development in children, yet very few exercise programs promote the development of motor creativity in children. Other side Enjoyment is the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction that you have when you do or experience something that you like. Participation in any kind of activity or games which are recreational in nature may lead to enjoyment and happiness which ultimately reflects in health. Enjoyment in any activity helps the children to engage in activity.The purpose of the study was to relation between Motor creativity and Enjoyment of the subjects. A total of 60 girls were selected randomly form Kakinada High School and their age ranged was 10+ to 12+ years.

Introduction

The child is born with some instincts and emotions. Every child is creative. Creativity is the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. Motor creativity is a new ways of acting adaptive in new situations. Movement creativity is a key factor in motor development in children, yet very few exercise programs promote the development of motor creativity in children. According to Sternberg, creativity has five components: expertise, imaginative thinking skills; a venturesome personality; intrinsic motivation; and a creative environment that sparks, supports, and refines creative ideas.

Other side Enjoyment is the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction that you have when you do or experience something that you like. Participation in any kind of activity or games which are recreational in nature may lead to enjoyment and happiness which ultimately reflects in health. Enjoyment in any activity helps the children to engage in activity. Enjoyment is an essential part of human life and finds many different firms which are shaped naturally interest but also surrounding social construction. People can enjoy anything whatever it is by reading a book, by doing creative activity or by playing sports.

Several studies have been conducted by different researchers in the related area and their study indicated the effects. With such background the investigator adopted the research project entitled “Relation between Motor Creativity and Enjoyment of Adolescent Girls”.

Purpose of the Study

Purpose of the study was:

  1. To measurecreativeexpression through motor movement of adolescence girls.
  2. To measure the level of enjoyment among adolescence girls.
  3. To compare the motor creativityand enjoyment of Adolescent girls.

Methodology

In this research work the researcher adopted some

methodology. This section contains the subject, selection of parameter, research procedure for collecting data and analytical procedure.

The Subjects:

In the present study a total of60 adolescent girl students were selected from Kakinada High School, Kakinara, North 24th Parganas, West Bengal as subjects. The age of the students were between 10+ to 12+ years.

 Selection of Parameter:

The investigator had gone through the analysis of Motor Creativity and Enjoyment after consulting the experts in these areas. Along with the literature and expert opinion, the administrative feasibility in terms of availability of instruments and expertise for measuring and recording of data was also given due consideration while selecting this test parameter. Motor Creativity and Enjoyment Test were tested for this study. In Motor CreativityTest there were five test items which is mentioned in the following tableno-1.

Enclosed as Annexure 01

Procedure for collection of data:The procedure of Motor Creativity and Enjoyment are given in the following section.

Motor Creativity Test:The procedure of the test items are in the following section-

A modified Motor Creativity test battery with five test items was used. It was formed and standardized by Prof. A. K. Bhattacharyya following Wyrick Test of Motor Creativity. These tests were on motor activities, performance of which reflected creativity in motor domain.

Purpose:To measure creative expression through motor movements.

Test Item No. – I (Different type of movements of the upper part of the body):

Instruction:The subject asked to do different types of movement of the upper part of the body could be made while keeping the lower part of the body fixed? The time allowed for this test item was three minutes. An item was demonstrated so that one could understand easily.

Scoring:  Each accepted movement obtained a credit mark of one. The total number


of responses within the allotted three minutes was recorded as the motor creativity score from this test item.

Test Item No. – II (Different ways one can move from line AB to CD):

Marking: Two parallel lines were drawn on the floor maintaining a gap of ten feet.

Instruction: The subject was asked regarding how many different way, except walking (since walking was shown to the subject by the tester), could she move from the line AB to the CD within three minutes?

Scoring:One point for each accepted movement from the line AB to the CD line. Total number of successive accepted movements was the total score.

Test Item No. – III (Different type of movements on the narrow bench):

Arrangement:  A narrow bench was set in such a way that when the subject stood on it, she will not get any support from anything else.

Instruction:  While keeping balance on a narrow base (the bench in this case), the subject was asked to perform as many new movements as she could within three minutes. The movements which the subject had performed earlier would not come into account.

Scoring:  Total number of new movements was counted by giving one mark for each accepted movement. Total number of such movements expressed motor creativity score for this item.

Test Item No. – IV (Different ways hit the ball on the wall using any part of the body):

Marking:  A line (AB) was drawn eight feet apart from a wall where a target ‘T’ was drawn.

Instruction:  The subjects were asked to hit the target ‘T’ from the line AB with a Tennis ball by using any part of her body in as many different ways as she could within three minutes.

Scoring:  Each accepted way of hitting obtained one mark. Total number of accepted hits on the wall was the motor creativity score from this test item.

Test Item No. – V (Different body movements from four different position):

Marking:  Four stations A, B, C and D were marked on the floor, and instructions were given about the exercises to be performed from the particular station.

Station A:  Exercises from standing position.                               

Station B:  Exercises from sitting position.

Station C:  Exercises from supine position.   

Station D:  Exercises from prone position.

Instruction:  The subject was asked to perform as many exercises as she could in all stations, maintaining the stated body position at the particular station, within five minutes. She could perform any number of exercises at any particular station and devote her own time at any station, but the total for this item should not exceed five minutes. However, after every one minute she would be orally indicated about time.

Scoring:  The sum of the accepted responses obtained from all four positions was the motor creativity score from this test item.

Total score of motor creativity (Item no.-I to Item no.-V): Summation of scores obtained in all the five test items were the total score of motor creativity.

Enjoyment: On the testing day, researcher administered the questionnaires to students who were assembled in a classroom. All students were given uniform instructions.In this questionnaire the total 16 questions are there and against each question there are 5 options(1.Strongly Disagree, 2. Moderately disagree, 3. Slightly disagree, 4.  Slightly agree, 5. Strongly Agree) and the subjects were instructed to give answer accordingly. They were given 40 minutes for the questionnaire.

Statistical Procedure:

After collecting the responsesdata were numerical values for statistical calculation for interpretation, analysis and discussion. Mean, Standard Deviation (SD) and correlation (r)were calculated for this research work.

The p-value equals 0.863, It means that the chance of type I error, rejecting a correct H0, is too high. The larger the p-value the more it supports H0.

It may be said that the non-significant result may be due to less number of sample and the standard deviations were much greater. Another reason may be due to sampling error.

Conclusions

Within the limitation of the present study following conclusions were drawn on the basis of the results obtained by statistical analysis of the data.

  1. Sometimes the creative expression through motor movement of adolescence girls were high and sometimes moderate.
  2. At the same time the level of enjoyment among adolescence girls were found positive effect.
  3. There were positive correlation between Different type of movements of the upper part of the bodyand Enjoyment of adolescence girls.
  4. There were inversely correlated between Different ways one can move from line AB to CD and Enjoyment of adolescence girls.
  5. There were positive correlation between Different type of movements on the narrow benchand Enjoyment of adolescence girls.
  1. There were positive correlation between Different ways hit the ball on the wall using any part of the body and Enjoyment of adolescence girls.
  2. There were negative correlation between Different body movements from four different position and Enjoyment of adolescence girls.
  3. There were positive correlation between Sum of Motor Creativity and Enjoyment of adolescence girls.

From the above findings and discussions it may be concluded that there were positiveand inversely correlated between Enjoyment and Motor Creativityof adolescence girls.
