The research techniques used to collect and counteract the information were: participant observation, documentary analysis and Vayer's standardized test, which allowed obtaining data on the reality of first-year students. The instruments that were used were: the documentary review file, group observation cards, first semester grades and Vayer´s psychomotor exam of second childhood. The study population consisted of 28 students studying the first year of EGB belonging to the morning section of the preparatory sub-level, to whom the Vayer standardized test was applied to evaluate their psychomotor development. The results obtained from the application of the test were analyzed, interpreted and described to subsequently make a comparison with the qualitative assessments of their academic performance obtained in the first quarter in the different areas of learning and development. In this way, it is concluded that psychomotor skills influence the areas of Comprehension and oral and written expression and artistic understanding and expression.
