ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to: (1) determine if process- and product-oriented measures similarly evaluate changes in motor skills across an intervention and (2) examine the relationship between preschoolers’ motor skills when assessed using process-oriented and product-oriented measures before (pretest) and after (posttest) the intervention. Preschoolers (n = 65, M _age = 4.6 ± 0.42 years) completed both process- and product-oriented measures of six FMS – run, hop, jump, catch, throw, and kick, before and after a high-autonomy motor skill intervention. Aggregate total, locomotor, and ball skills, as well as each individual skill, were examined. Children demonstrated improvements in process-oriented (p < .01) skills, but only improved on the product hop, throw, and kick (p < .001) after the intervention. Children’s ranks on process- and product-oriented measures were correlated at pretest (r _s = 0.28–0.72) and posttest (r _s = 0.39–0.68). Therefore, process- and product-oriented measures assess different aspects of motor competence and do not equally evaluate intervention efficacy.

摘要

这项研究的目的是：（1）确定以过程和产品为导向的措施是否类似地评估了整个干预措施中运动技能的变化；（2）在使用以过程为导向的方法和产品-评估时，检查了学龄前儿童运动技能之间的关系。干预前（测试前）和测试后（测试后）的针对性措施。学龄前儿童（n = 65，M _年龄 = 4.6±0.42岁）在高度自主的运动技能干预前后，完成了以过程和产品为导向的六个FMS指标–奔跑，跳，跳，抓，掷和踢。 。检验了总体技能，运动技能和球类技能，以及每项个人技能。儿童表现出以过程为导向的改善（p<.01）技能，但仅在干预后产品跳，掷和踢方面有所改善（p <.001）。在测试前（r _s  = 0.28–0.72）和测试后（r _s  = 0.39–0.68），儿童在过程和产品导向措施上的等级相关。因此，以过程和产品为导向的措施会评估运动能力的不同方面，而不能平等地评估干预效果。
