Abstract
The purpose of the work. In children, ball-handling skills are essential for the execution of many motor tasks. The purpose of this study was to develop the rating scale on ball-handling skill by means of Rasch analysis. Material and methods. The subjects were children 4 to 6 years old in urban public kindegartens in the Czech Republic. Twenty five children participated in preliminary evaluation sessions and eighty one children (51 girls and 55 boys) were selected for the main study. Test performance for all children on the scale was subjected to analysis for fit to a theoretical Rasch measurement model. The Guttman scale developed in this study describes the amount of ball-handling skill of the children. Results and conclusions. The results indicate that this scale is relatively homogeneous with respect to its content. In addition, the Rasch analysis in the evaluation of motor skills was examined. According to our results we can conclude the Rasch model is a very powerful instrument in human movement assessment.
