Resumen
Psychomotor skills are, among others, an aspect particularly valuable for structuring the
teaching–learning process of infant schoolchildren. For this reason, a study was carried out with
the aim of describing and comparing the socio-demographic, psychomotor, and learning levels of
schoolchildren in the second stage of infant education. Ninety-five pupils from the second cycle of
infant education in the capital of Granada took part in this study. A sociodemographic questionnaire,
the movement assessment battery for children-2 (MABC-2), and the preschool learning behaviour
scale (PLBS) were used to collect data. The main results show that manual dexterity appears as the
main motor factor and similar figures in the three dimensions of learning behaviours. On the other
hand, balance and learning behaviours were higher in 6-year-old schoolchildren. In terms of gender,
girls obtained higher values for the level of the learning behaviour variables. A positive correlation
was found between the dimensions of learning and motor activity.
