Understanding children's motor performance on different assessments is important for researchers. The Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) are motor assessments that use either a process- or product-oriented scoring approach. However, no studies have examined how performances are related to these two types of assessment. This study compared the performance of preschool children on the TGMD-2 and the MABC-2. 32 children (M age = 4.2 yr., SD = 9) completed each test to assess whether each described motor performance similarly. Significant low to moderate Spearman's rank correlations (r2 range = .13-.40) were found between the subscales of the assessments. A related-samples Wilcoxon signed rank test was not significant between total performances on the TGMD-2 and MABC-2. From a practical standpoint, each assessment provides a similar overall description of motor competence in preschool children. However, each assessment results in scores that present different information about motor performance.
了解儿童在不同评估中的运动表现对于研究人员来说很重要。粗大运动发育测试-2(TGMD-2)和儿童运动评估测试-2(MABC-2)是两种使用过程或产品导向评分方法的运动评估方法。然而,尚无研究探讨这些两种评估方法的表现之间的关系。本研究比较了学龄前儿童在 TGMD-2 和 MABC-2 上的表现。32 名儿童(M 年龄=4.2 岁,SD=9)完成了每项测试,以评估每个测试是否相似地描述了运动表现。评估子量表之间存在显著的低至中度斯皮尔曼等级相关(r2 范围为.13-.40)。TGMD-2 和 MABC-2 上的总表现之间的相关样本 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验不显著。从实际的角度来看,每个评估都为学龄前儿童的运动能力提供了相似的总体描述。然而,每个评估的结果分数提供了有关运动表现的不同信息。
