The Construction Of A Physical Literacy Assessment Index System For Junior High School Students In China

The dismal physical health of Chinese children and adolescents in recent years has been accompanied by a growing concern for "civilizational disease",and the lack of physical literacy among junior high school students is a consequence of the disconnect between school sports and family education.Individuals must take ownership of and value physical activity for their lives,and this necessitates the acquisition of physical literacy-motivation,assurance,physical capability,and knowledge and comprehension.Constructing a physical literacy indicator system that is in line with the physical and mental development of the middle school student population,a vital component of the adolescent population,is of utmost importance.In this research,the primary indicators are refined and summarized by first sorting out pertinent studies on "physical literacy" both domestically and internationally.At the outset,a structure of evaluation indices for junior high school students in China is created.The criteria for selecting experts are elucidated,an expert assembly is created,and three rounds of expert consultation are conducted by employing the Delphi technique to modify and assess the indicators of the initiality.Assessing the dependability and accuracy of the assessment markers,employing the hierarchical analysis technique(AHP)to ascertain their weights,is the third step.Interpreting the "localization" features of physical literacy evaluation indicators for junior high school students in China is the fourth step.The evaluation index system of physical literacy for junior high school students in China was found to be in accordance with the fundamental notion of physical literacy,as evidenced by(1)the weight scores of the indicators.The index system comprises of 4 primary,8secondary,and 26 tertiary indicators.(2)By using AHP to establish a progressive hierarchy model,the weights of indicators for the assessment of physical literacy of junior high school students in China were calculated after consistency tests.According to the calculation,the order of importance of the primary indicators was A1 physical ability(0.2982)> A3 motivation and confidence(0.2964)> A2 knowledge and understanding(0.2027)= A4 daily behaviour(0.2027),and the order of importance of the secondary indicators was B7 sports participation(0.7500)> B1 physical fitness level(0.6667)= B5 motivation(0.6667)> B3 physical activity perception(0.5000)= B4 sport knowledge(0.5000)> B2 motor skills(0.3333)= B6 confidence(0.3333)> B8 resting behaviour(0.2500).The order of importance of the three levels of indicators was C8 specific motor skills(0.7500)= C25 sedentary behaviour(0.7500)> C16 intrinsic motivation for physical activity(0.6667)> C20self-assessment of physical activity(0.5000)> C11 understanding of the value of physical activity(0.4111)> C12 knowledge of the motor body(0.3917)> C23 Exercise intensity(0.3458)>...............> C1 Cardiorespiratory fitness(0.1159)> C6 Flexibility quality(0.1125)> C4 Displacement speed(0.0738).(3)Based on the physical literacy evaluation indexes and index weights of junior high school students in China,the "localized" characteristics of the physical literacy evaluation indexes of junior high school students in China were extracted,specifically,the commonality-penetration and application,and individualization-transformation and adaptation.-The two aspects are transformation and adaptation.
