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

本研究的目的是：（1）确定过程导向和产品导向的措施是否类似地评估干预中运动技能的变化，以及（2）检查使用过程导向和产品评估时学龄前儿童的运动技能之间的关系。干预前（前测）和后（后测）的定向测量。学龄前儿童（n = 65，M_年龄 = 4.6 ± 0.42 岁）在高自主运动技能干预前后完成了六项 FMS 的过程和产品导向测量 - 跑、跳、跳、接球、投掷和踢腿. 检查了总体技能、运动技能和球技能，以及每个单独的技能。儿童在面向过程的方面表现出进步（p< .01) 技能，但仅在干预后提高了产品的跳跃、投掷和踢腿 ( p < .001)。儿童对过程和产品导向的措施队伍在测试前有相关性（[R_小号 = 0.28-0.72）和后测（[R_小号 = 0.39-0.68）。因此，以过程和产品为导向的措施评估运动能力的不同方面，并不能同等地评估干预效果。
