Abstract
The main aim of this study was to create a new test for assessing the motor competence of children of preschool and early school age and to determine its reliability and validity. Thirty children (5–6 years) were tested on two occasions 14 days apart. The testing procedures included the performance of the Four Station Fundamental Motor Test (4-SFMT). The newly constructed 4-SFMT consisted of four fundamental skills/tasks: space covering (ROLL), overcoming resistance (PULL), object control... More (BALL), and overcoming obstacles (CLIMB) skills. The performance was evaluated with a 22-point scale with the different criterion for each skill and measured by time. Concurrent validity was assessed by determining the correlation with Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). The level of agreement across trials were statistically significant for all three raters, with two variables presenting excellent (ICC > 0.9), and two variables having good reliability (ICC > 0.75 and < 0.9). No significant differences were found between test and re-test scores, indicating the test's high reliability. Factor analysis isolated only one motor factor (accounting for 43.99% of the variance with the eigenvalue of 1.768) from four tasks. There was a large correlation (r = -0.576, p < 0.01) between process and product-oriented assessments of the 4-SFMT. Moreover, significant correlations were found between 4-SFMT and TGMD-2 for score (r = 0.824, p < 0.001) and time (r = -0.652, p < 0.001), which points to good concurrent validity of the newly constructed test. Construct validity was confirmed by small to moderate correlations between tasks (0.016 to -0.509) and no differences between boys and girls in total score (p = 0.943) and time (0.49). The 4-SFMT appears to be a valid and reliable tool that can be used to evaluate MC in children between the ages of 5 and 6 and is reasonably simple to use. Less
Abstract (croatian)
Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je konstruirati novi test za procjenu motoričke kompetencije djece predškolske i rane školske dobi, te utvrditi njegovu pouzdanost i valjanost. Trideset djece (5-6 godina) testirano je dva puta u razmaku od 14 dana. Postupci testiranja uključivali su izvođenje temeljnog motoričkog testa četiri stanice (4- SFMT). Novokonstruirani 4-SFMT sastoji se od četiri temeljna zadatka: savladavanje prostora (kotrljanje), savladavanje otpora (povlačenje),... More manipulacija objektima (lopta) i savladavanja prepreka (penjanje). Izvedba je ocijenjena s ljestvicom od 22 stupnja s različitim kriterijem za svaku vještinu i mjereno vremenom. Istovremeno valjanost je procijenjena utvrđivanjem korelacije s TGMD-2 testom. Razina slaganja između ispitivanja bila je statistički značajna za sva tri ocjenjivača, dvije varijable pokazuju izvrsnu (ICC > 0,9) i dvije varijable imaju dobru pouzdanost (ICC > 0,75 i < 0,9). Nisu pronađene značajne razlike između rezultata testa i rezultata ponovnog testa, što ukazuje visoku pouzdanost. Faktorskom analizom izoliran je samo jedan motorički faktor (koji čini 43,99% varijance sa svojstvenom vrijednošću 1,768) iz četiri zadatka. Postojala je velika korelacija (r = -0,576, p < 0,01) između procjena 4-SFMT usmjerenih na proces i produkt. Pronađene su razlike između 4-SFMT i TGMD-2 za rezultat (r = 0,824, p < 0,001) i vrijeme (r = -0,652, p < 0,001), što ukazuje na dobru konkurentnu valjanost novokonstruiranog testa. Konkurentna valjanost potvrđena je malim do umjerenim korelacijama između zadataka (0,016 do -0,509) i nema razlika između dječaka i djevojčica u ukupnom rezultatu (p = 0,943) i vremenu (0,49). Čini se da je 4-SFMT važeći i pouzdan alat koji se može koristiti za procjenu MC kod djece u dobi od 5 do 6 godina i relativno jednostavan za korištenje. Less
