Abstract
ABSTRACT The objective was to verify the construct validity and test–retest reliability of the Test of Advanced Movement Skills (TAMS) with an innovative dual-outcome scoring system. Three statistical approaches – confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), and item response theory analysis (IRT) – were applied to the data collected from 88 participants aged 9–12 years. Furthermore, 10 of them were randomly selected to examine the test–retest reliability by calculating intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). The synthesis of findings from CFA, ESEM, and IRT analyses provides supportive evidence that two- and bi-factor structures demonstrated better model-data fit compared to the one-factor structure. An excellent level of test–retest reliability was confirmed in the TAMS (ICC = .96) and anthropometric instruments (ICC = .986–.998). We conclude that a composite score derived from the TAMS is sufficient and practical to measure one’s general competence in advanced movement skills during late childhood.
期刊介绍:
The scope of Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (MPEES) covers original measurement research, special issues, and tutorials within six substantive disciplines of physical education and exercise science. Six of the seven sections of MPEES define the substantive disciplines within the purview of the original research to be published in the journal: Exercise Science, Physical Activity, Physical Education Pedagogy, Psychology, Research Methodology and Statistics, and Sport Management and Administration. The seventh section of MPEES, Tutorial and Teacher’s Toolbox, serves to provide an outlet for review and/or didactic manuscripts to be published in the journal. Special issues provide an avenue for a coherent set of manuscripts (e.g., four to five) to collectively focus in-depth on an important and timely measurement-related issue within the scope of MPEES. The primary aim of MPEES is to publish high-impact manuscripts, most of which will focus on original research, that fit within the scope of the journal.
