Concurrent Validity of Selected Movement Skill Items in the New Zealand Ministry of Education's Health and Physical Education Assessment
Miyahara, Motohide; Clarkson, Jenny
Australian Journal of Educational & Developmental Psychology, v5 p32-39 2005
The concurrent validity of the New Zealand Ministry of Education's Health and Physical Education Assessment (HPEA) (Crooks & Flockton, 1999) was examined with the respective items from the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Henderson & Sugden, 2000) and the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (Bruininks, 1978) on manual dexterity, ball skills and balance skills. Of the 28 items of the HPEA, 7 items were significantly correlated with the established movement skill measures. The low concurrent validity of the HPEA suggests a need for further validation studies. (Contains 2 tables.)
