Resumen

El objetivo fue determinar la relación entre la didáctica especializada del área de educación física y las capacidades motrices de estudiantes de sexto grado de primaria de instituciones educativas públicas de La Banda de Shilcayo, San Martín. Se desarrolló un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal y correlacional en siete escuelas, con siete docentes y 172 estudiantes. Se aplicaron un cuestionario de 40 ítems sobre didáctica especializada y otro de 21 ítems sobre equilibrio, lateralidad y coordinación; sus coeficientes alfa de Cronbach fueron 0.851 y 0.765, respectivamente. Las hipótesis se contrastaron mediante chi-cuadrado de Pearson con un nivel de significación de 0.05. Los resultados mostraron una relación entre la didáctica especializada y las capacidades motrices en conjunto, así como con el equilibrio, la lateralidad y la coordinación. Para esta última dimensión se obtuvo χ²(2) = 7.727 y p = 0.021. Se concluye que la didáctica especializada se asoció con las tres dimensiones motrices evaluadas, sin que el diseño permita atribuir causalidad.
