“…The theory of General Motor Ability (GMA) capability was inferred from the performance of movement skills or tasks (locomotor, object control, and body management skills), and strengthened by movement skill foundations (such as flexibility, balance, reaction time, strength, muscle power, etc.) (Hands et al, 2018). This model reminds us that we must consider individual factors, environmental factors, and task factors understand motor development.…”

This study examines the effect of nutritional status on the gross and fine motor skills development in early childhood. The data were selected randomly using simple random sampling at the Posyandu in East Praya sub-district, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The samples were collected 127 children aged 24 to 36 months and their parents as respondents. The regression results showed that nutritional status had positive and significant effect on gross and fine motor skills development of children (adjusted R2 41.8%). The relationship nutritional status with gross and fine motor skills has the correlation value, 0.650 and moderate relationship level. Increasing the nutritional status greatly helps develop gross and fine motor skills development in children during their golden age.

“…One important final consideration, raised by our reviewers, is that the MABC-2 performance test implicitly assumes that there are three distinct underlying (i.e., latent) domains of movement ability (manual dexterity, aiming & catching, balance) along with one overall, or general movement ability [ 17 – 18 ]. In this manuscript, we have focused primarily on the raw data and the analysis of movement across the three domains of movement performance, the 8 test items, and 21 individual trials across both hands and legs.…”

“…Whether and how these individual test items should be combined into one or more domain-specific or general movement ability scores is beyond the scope of the present report, but represents a critically-important challenge for the MABC-2 that is also relevant for other movement assessments such as the BOT. Meeting this challenge will likely require further development of statistical methods and models using, for example, item response theory, the use of Rasch analysis, and ‘person-independent’ calibration of performance test items [ 15 , 17 – 18 ]. Whichever statistical approach is used to measure children’s movement ability, the theoretical models will be constrained or influenced by the quality and distribution of the raw performance data they are based upon.…”

Ceiling effects in the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) suggest that non-parametric scoring methods are required

et al. 2018

Initially designed to identify children’s movement impairments in clinical settings, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) is also widely used to evaluate children’s movement in research. Standardised scores on the test are calculated using parametric methods under the assumption of normally-distributed data. In a pilot study with thirty five 8–10 year old children (i.e., in Age Band 2 of the MABC-2), we found that maximal performance was often reached. These ‘ceiling effects’ created distributions of scores that may violate parametric assumptions. Tests of normality, skew, and goodness-of-fit revealed this violation, most clearly on three of the eight sub-tests. A strong deviation from normality was again observed in a sample of 161 children (8–10 years, Experiment 1), however ceiling effects were reduced by modifying the scoring methods, and administering items designed for older children when maximal performance was reached. Experiment 2 (n = 81, 7–10 years) further refined the administration and scoring methods, and again improved the distributions of scores. Despite reducing ceiling effects, scores remained non-parametrically distributed, justifying non-parametric analytic approaches. By randomly and repeatedly resampling from the raw data, we generated non-parametric reference distributions for assigning percentiles to each child’s performance, and compared the results with the standardised scores. Distributions of scores obtained with both parametric and non-parametric methods were skewed, and the methods resulted in different rankings of the same data. Overall, we demonstrate that some MABC-2 item scores are not normally-distributed, and violate parametric assumptions. Changes in administering and scoring may partially address these issues. We propose that resampling or other non-parametric methods are required to create new reference distributions to which an individual child’s performance can be referred. The modifications we propose are preliminary, but the implication is that a new standardisation is required to deal with the non-parametric data acquired with the MABC-2 performance test.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh gaya mengajar resiprokal dan motor ability tinggi terhadap hasil tendangan dolyo chagi. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen. Pengambilan sampel yang penulis gunakan dengan cara acak sederhana (random assignment). Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan gaya mengajar resiprokal untuk mahasiswa yang memiliki motor ability tinggi terhadap hasil belajar tendangan dolyo chagi (thit.=12,77 > ttab. 3,63). Hal itu disebabkan oleh karena mahasiswa yang memiliki motor ability tinggi mampu belajar secara cepat dalam menguasai teknik-teknik dasar tendangan dolyo chagi taekwondo, karena pola pembelajaran tidak lagi dikontrol oleh dosen, melainkan tergantung pada diri mahasiswa sendiri. Semakin tinggi semangat belajar yang dapat mereka tunjukkan, maka semakin besar peluang keberhasilan yang mereka peroleh.The porpose of this research was to determine the effect of reciprocal teaching style and high motor ability on the results of dolyo chagi kicks. The method used in this research is the experimental method. Sampling that the author uses in a simple random way (random assignment). The result of this research is that there is a significant influence on reciprocal teaching style for students who have high motor ability towards learning outcomes of dolyo chagi kick (thit.=12,77 > ttab. 3,63). This is because students who have high motor abilities are able to learn quickly in mastering the basic techniques of dolyo chagi taekwondo kicks, because the learning pattern is no longer controlled by the lecturer, but depends on the students themselves. The higher the enthusiasm for learning that they can show, the greater the chances of success they get.
