German term

Bewegungsinteraktion

German to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
I'm translating something on the interaction between preschool teachers and children under 3, and it often talks about "Berührungs- und Bewegungsinteraktion". I agreed on "physical contact" with the author for "Berührungsinteraktion", but I couldn't find any plausible translations for "Bewegungsinteraktion" and he didn't have any suggestions. From what I understand, it's referring to when the preschool teacher moves with the child, for example when singing a song with movements, the teacher helps the child stamp their feet or clap their hands.

A sentence that doesn't help much but is all I've got for now:

"Der für die Pflege besonders wichtige Bereich der „Berührungs- und Bewegungsinteraktion“ fand bisher in Studien zur Qualität in Kindertageseinrichtungen kaum Berücksichtigung."

Any ideas?

motion interaction? movement interaction?

physical touch? I searched for this in the http://www.ssc.education.ed.ac.uk/canaanbarrie/chapter2.pdf document but found only 'physical contact'. In this era of enhanced child protection, 'physical touch' is precisely the sort of interaction that has to be avoided.

Sorry to have bothered you with all these messages I didn't realize that this was about the Canaan Barrie system.

The *moving and handling* aspect of physical development involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive and to develop their coordination, control and movement.

All of the instances of this term that I've found involve a larger concept, which includes developing awareness and control over the body and interacting/conversing nonverbally with other bodies.
But of course, for your case, it's whatever the author meant. If it's simply an interaction that involves moving the child, that could be "handling."

It could work, Phil, I was just wondering if there's a technical term for it that I'm not aware of. i don't want to be dancing around the concept if those reading the text would wonder why the author's not just coming out and saying "motion interaction" (or whatever the term might be).
philgoddard Mar 31, 2018:
What about the term you use, moving with the child?
Herbmione Granger Mar 31, 2018:
Hi Kelly I think that in your case the term has been *generalized* to mean any action, with or without contact, that "strengthens" illicitation of an *appropriate* physical reaction. It's difficult to determine for sure the meaning of a "floating" term which corresponds with a natural concept like this, unless you have used this word *in this way*.
Rita Translator (asker) Mar 31, 2018:
No, apparently it means like when a teacher picks up a child and rocks him/her, the child experiences movement. That would be a "Bewegungsinteraktion" in addition to a "Berührungsinteraktion".

That's just an example, though.
Lancashireman Mar 31, 2018:
So they are 'demonstrating' moves, like a dance teacher?
Rita Translator (asker) Mar 31, 2018:
No, it's about the movement the preschool teachers make with the children. This then helps the child learn physical coordination, but that's not what you would call what the teachers are doing.
Lancashireman Mar 31, 2018:
[physical] coordination Could that be the meaning in your context?

Rita Translator (asker) Mar 31, 2018:
I've found some more examples where it describes how even many physical contact interactions (holding the child, carrying the child, etc.) involve an element of motion (Bewegungserfahrung / Bewegungsinteraktion).

So it's not necessarily separate from the Berührungsinteraktion, although the Berührung can occur without the Bewegung (e.g. patting the child's back).

Eine hohe Betreuungsqualität drückt sich insbesondere in der Gestaltung von Pflege aus. Für Kinder bis drei spielt gerade die Pflegemaßnahme des Wickelns im pädagogischen Alltag eine große Rolle. Das Konzept des Kinaesthetics Infant Handling kann dazu beitragen, Pflege in der Wickelsituation aus der Perspektive von Bewegung und Berührung heraus bewusst und reflexiv zu gestalten.

(physical touch and) movement interaction

"The area of 'physical touch and movement interaction', which is particularly important for child care settings, has thus far barely been considered in studies assessing the quality of child day care facilities.
