The current study aimed to examine discrepancies between three different process-oriented tools in assessing the same fundamental movement skills in primary school children. A total of 120 children aged 6-12 years (mean age: 9.3 ± 1.9 years) were evaluated on 6 skills (run, leap, kick, over-hand throw, catch, and two-hand strike) common to the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) 2nd or 3rd edition, Get Skilled Get Active (GSGA), and Fundamental Motor Skills Assessment (FMSA). Differences were analysed using standardised scores (raw score divided by the number of performance criteria of each skill) and the prevalence of advanced skills (i.e., correct execution of all or all but one performance criteria). The main results showed large correlations between tools, but significant differences (p < 0.05) in standardised scores of each assessment tool across all skills. The TGMD classified a significantly higher percentage of children as having advanced skills in running, leaping, kicking, and catching compared to the GSGA and FMSA. These findings suggest that tools with fewer performance criteria for each skill may be less rigorous than more detailed assessments such as the GSGA and FMSA, emphasising the importance of standardising scoring procedures and developing clearer, universally accepted criteria across FMS assessments.
本研究旨在考察三种不同的以过程为导向的工具在评估小学生相同基本运动技能时的差异。共有120名6至12岁的儿童（平均年龄：9.3±1.9岁）接受了《粗大运动发展测试》（TGMD）第二版或第三版、“获得技能，积极运动”（GSGA）以及基本运动技能评估（FMSA）中共同的6项技能（跑步、跳跃、踢腿、过头投掷、接球和双手击球）的评估。使用标准化分数（原始分数除以每项技能的表现标准数量）和高级技能的发生率（即所有或除一项外所有表现标准的正确执行）进行差异分析。主要结果显示，各工具之间存在高度相关性，但所有技能在各评估工具的标准化分数上存在显著差异（p<0.05）。与GSGA和FMSA相比，TGMD将更高比例的儿童归类为在跑步、跳跃、踢腿和接球方面具有高级技能。这些发现表明，每项技能表现标准较少的工具可能不如GSGA和FMSA等更详细的评估严格，强调了在FMS评估中标准化评分程序以及制定更清晰、普遍接受的标准的重要性。
