Abstract

Purpose: This study introduces GYMNASTICS OCTAL TEST (GOT) and examines its psychometric features. Method: GOT was administered on 38 children (6-7 years). Afterwards, they participated in an 8-week gymnastics course. At the end of the course, the Modified Ellenbrand Gymnastics Skills Test (MEGST) was administered on them. Predictive validity of GOT was obtained by interclass correlation analysis between GOT and MEGST scores of children. Concurrent validity of GOT was obtained by administering the same tests on 27 young learners (18-22 years) of a gymnastics class. They completed GOT and MEGST during a week. Reliability of GOT was calculated by interclass correlation analysis using test-retest scores during 10 to 45 minutes.Results: Reliability of GOT was 0.91. Predictive and concurrent validity of GOT were 0.61 and 0.81, respectively. Logical and content validity of GOT are also discussed briefly in the study. Discussion and conclusion: Compared to other versions of Octal Test, a reliability of 0.91 is in the same acceptable range. However, a predictive validity of 0.61 and a concurrent validity of 0.81 are the greatest reported so far. A drop of 0.20 for predictive validity seems logical when it is considered that there was a 2-month gap between GOT and MEGST. In this period, individual differences in physical development and learning rate could be accounted for some alternations in re-test scores. Interclass correlations between different skills of gymnastics were reported to be 0.44 to 0.70. Experts also believe that a validity of more than 0.50 is well for movement assessing tests. Paying attention to the ease of administration, and confirmation of reliability AND VALIDITY, it is highly recommended that GOT is applied for early stages of TALENT IDENTIFICATION in gymnastics.
