“…The capacity to recognize their MC in the late childhood has been confirmed in the analyzed global model of four factors (actual and perceived MC in object control and self-movement), which yields a moderate correlation between actual and perceived MC, both for object control and self-movement. Our results support the findings of Duncan and colleagues [18], Jaakkola and colleagues [63], and Lopes and colleagues [64] who also used specific measurements in the field of MC and where the perception of MC remains aligned with the actual MC.…”

(1) Background: The association between actual and perceived motor competence (MC) is one of the underlying mechanisms that influence the practice of physical activity. This study mainly aimed to analyze the structure and correlations between actual and perceived MC in schoolchildren and to compare actual and perceived MC between girls and boys. (2) Methods: A total of 467 fifth and sixth graders (43.9% girls, M = 11.26, SD = 0.70) participated. Actual and perceived MC were assessed. To examine the proposed four factor models, structural equation models (factor analyses, latent correlations, invariance testing for gender) were conducted. Student t-test for independent samples was used to compare boys and girls. (3) Results: Proposed models achieved acceptable fit values with moderate correlation between the factors according to the type of MC in actual and perceived MC. Invariant factor structure in boys and girls was revealed. Boys performed and perceived themselves higher in object control than girls; whereas girls showed higher actual and perceived self-movement than boys. (4) Conclusions: The association between actual and perceived MC exists both globally and separately by gender, despite the differences between boys and girls. It is important to consider the role of gender and type of MC in the development of motor competencies, as well as in the strengthening of the children’s sense of competence.

“…However, this does not mean the role of perceived MC in early years children should be disregarded. Barnett et al [17] found that perceived MC mediated the longitudinal associations between middle childhood PA and adolescent MC; additionally, actual and perceived MC are associated [2,4,12,19,42]. Therefore, inflated perceived MC may be an important component to encourage younger children’s MC engagement to influence future PA participation.…”

“…However, increased perceived MC is associated with increased PA [16,17,18] and children’s perceived MC should be considered when attempting to increase PA [18]. Perceived MC has correlations with PA [7,11] and with actual MC [2,4,14,19]. However, there is a paucity of studies investigating how self-perceptions of MC, collectively and as LC and OC, mediates associations between PA and MC, suggested by Stodden and colleagues [5].…”

Objectives: To examine if the relationship between physical activity (PA) and actual motor competence (MC) in British early years children is mediated by their perceived MC. Design: Cross-sectional convenience observational study. Methodology: MC was assessed with six locomotor skills (LC) and six object-control skills (OC) via the Test of Gross Motor Development-2. PA was measured via a wrist-worn triaxial accelerometer and PA grouped as daily total PA (TPA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Perceived MC was assessed using the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Acceptance for Young Children. A total of 38 children (63% male; 37% female) aged between 3 and 6 years (5.41 ± 0.69) completed all assessments. Mediating impacts of perceived MC on the relationships between PA and MC were explored via backwards mediation regressions. Results: There were no mediating impacts of perceived MC on the relationship between PA and actual MC. Conclusions: The relationship between actual MC and PA is not mediated by perceived MC in a small sample of British early years childhood.

“…Outro aspecto observado nas pesquisas é a percepção mais elevada dos meninos especialmente em relação a dimensões da atlética da autoperceção de competência. Vários estudos nacionais 11,17,20,[29][30][31][32][33][34] e internacionais 26,[35][36][37][38] confirmam essa tendência. As crenças e valores culturais, especialmente em relação à atribuição de papéis sociais também têm influência sobre a construção da competência percebida.…”

Esta revisão narrativa tem como objetivos: 1) descrever o conceito de auto percepção de competência (PC) e a relação com o “self”; 2) descrever as mudanças características na autopercepção de competência na infância tendo como principal referência a perspectiva teórica proposta por Harter (1979; 1988; 2012a; 2012b); 3) revisar os principais fatores associados a PC em crianças. Método: foram revisadas pesquisas oriundas de bases de dados eletrônicas SciELO, Sportdisscus, LILASC, Pubmed, Google acadêmico, Periódicos Capes, de busca manual nas referências de estudos publicados, em bases de dados de testes e dissertações, estudos publicados em eventos e livros de autores de referência sobre o assunto. Ainda, as principais obras da autora Susan Harter foram revisadas para contemplar o segundo objetivo deste estudo. Entre os 5 e 12 anos de idade, várias mudanças podem ser observadas na PC das crianças. Esta variável tem importantes implicações e, no papel de agentes mediadores, os pais, os familiares e os professores devem estar atentos a experiências que possibilitem a construção de uma percepção positiva e realista sobre a competência das crianças.
