【背景與目的】「學前粗大動作品質量表」(Preschooler Gross Motor Quality Scale簡稱: PGMQ)」是一套新編制的動作品質評估工具,此工具依據兒童在學前階段粗大動作的發展面向編制而成,可以用來評估學前兒童動作品質的表現,「PGMQ」已經初步建立了信效度,但缺少與動作品質量表之間的同時效度。因此本研究以「粗動作發展測驗-第二版」 (Test of Gross Motor Development Second Edition;TGMD-II)作為黃金標準量表,用以探討「PGMQ」與「TGMD-II」之同時效度。【方法】本研究以方便取樣方式選取中部地區3所幼托園所之3-6歲學齡前兒童共計135位進行測試。所有參與之幼童在徵求家長知情同意後,由兩位獨立之評估者分別進行「學前粗大動作品質量表」(PGMQ)及「粗動作發展測驗-第二版」(TGMD-II)的評估,兒童接受評估工具的種類先後為隨機決定。【結果】研究結果顯示,幼童在兩個量表的總分及分測驗總分之間皆達顯著高度相關性,在類似分測驗總分亦達顯著高度相關性。兩量表之六項移位能力單項結果之間的相關性達低度至高度顯著相關性;而五項物品傳接能力單項結果之間的相關性達低度至中度顯著相關性。【結論】整體而言,結果顯示兩量表間具有良好的同時效度,顯示「學前粗大動作品質量表」(PGMQ)可以用來評估學前兒童的動作品質。
【Background & Purpose】Preschooler Gross Motor Quality Scale (PGMQ) is a newly developed motor scale with norm of Taiwan children for the evaluation of gross motor quality in preschooler. The construct of this scale was based on functions and quality of motor skills in fundamental stage. A preliminary study of PGMQ established the initial reliability and validity. However, concurrent validity with a scale that measure quality aspect of motor skills is essential. The purpose of this study is to establish the concurrent validity of PGMQ using Test of Gross Motor Development-II (TGMD-II) as the golden standard scale. 【Methods】One hundred and thirty-five preschool children aged from 3 to 6 years were recruited from three kindergartens in the central part of Taiwan. Two independent evaluators who were unaware the results of the other one evaluated PGMQ and TGMD-II separately for each child.【Results】The study showed that PGMQ and TGMD-II were significantly highly related not only in total scores but also in subscale total scores. The total scores of locomotion and object manipulation of PGMQ were also highly related to TGMD-II. Total scores of similar items in locomotion subscale of PGMQ and TGMD-II was highly related as well as in the object manipulation subscale. Relationship in similar items reached low to high level of correlation. 【Conclusion】The results provided satisfactory evidence of concurrent validity of PGMQ with TGMD-II. PGMQ is appropriate to evaluate gross motor quality of preschooler.
