Abstract


Abstract

The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) was developed to assess the motor development of children aged 3-10 focusing on motor skills. The TGMD-2 is widely used in research and clinical settings. The aim of the study was to investigate the content, criteria, and construct validity and reliability of the TGMD-2 for children aged 7-8 in Serbia.

The study involved 214 children (47,19% girls) from the northern part of Serbia. The two-factor model was confirmed by factor analysis. Internal consistency reliability was high: for locomotor score (0.76), object control score (0.77) and total composite score (0.81). The test-retest reliability ranged from 0.31-0.79, and it was significant (r = 0,55; p ≤ 0,00). This study highlighted that TGMD-2 can be used with confidence to assess motor skills of children in Serbia aged 7-8.

Key words: children, TGMD-2, motor skills reliability and validity
