This study aimed to develop an efficient tool for assessing children's fundamental motor skills, the "Track style" Children's Fundamental Movement Skills Test (TCFMST), based on theories of motor development integrated with Chinese cultural context and physical education teaching situations.
Starting from a literature analysis, the study selected items from existing fundamental movement skill (FMS) assessments, textbooks, physical education and health standards, and children's movement guidelines to construct a pool of test items. Subsequently, the items were screened and optimized using the Delphi method. Finally, the feasibility, discrimination, difficulty, reliability, and validity of the constructed test were examined using testing methods.
The TCFMST includes three dimensions: locomotive skills, body control skills, and manipulative skills, with a total of 10 items. The difficulty and discrimination of each item are appropriate; the correlation coefficients for retest reliability range from 0.789 to 0.943 ( < 0.01). The results of exploratory factor analysis indicate that the common factors align with the hypothesized three dimensions, indicating good structural validity of the test. The concurrent validity results show a correlation coefficient of -0.510 ( < 0.01) between the TCFMST and the total score of TGMD-3, indicating a moderate correlation between the two tests.
The TCFMST developed in this study has good difficulty, discrimination, reliability, and validity. It also features strong operability, a short duration, and high interest. It can serve as an important tool for monitoring children's fundamental motor skill levels.
本研究旨在基于运动发展理论，并结合中国文化背景和体育教学实际情况，开发一种评估儿童基本运动技能的有效工具，即“Track style”儿童基本运动技能测试（TCFMST）。
从文献分析入手，本研究从现有的基本运动技能（FMS）评估、教材、体育与健康标准以及儿童运动指南中选择项目，构建了一个测试项目库。随后，采用德尔菲法对项目进行筛选和优化。最后，采用测试法检验构建的测试的可行性、区分度、难度、信度和效度。
TCFMST 包括三个维度：移动技能、身体控制技能和操作技能，共 10 个项目。每个项目的难度和区分度都适中；重测信度的相关系数范围为 0.789 至 0.943（<0.01）。探索性因子分析的结果表明，共同因素与假设的三个维度一致，表明测试具有良好的结构效度。同时，TCFMST 与 TGMD-3 的总分之间的相关性系数为-0.510（<0.01），表明两种测试之间存在中度相关。
本研究开发的 TCFMST 具有良好的难度、区分度、信度和效度。它还具有很强的可操作性、较短的测试时间和较高的趣味性，可以作为监测儿童基本运动技能水平的重要工具。
