Abstract

This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the “Active Motor Card” (AMC) for Indonesian preschoolers. To determine the appropriate Fundamental Movements Skills (FMS) for the Indonesian context, focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted with measurement and assessment experts and referred to the existing tools (TGMD-2/3) that are globally used as a reference. Both construct and concurrent approaches were used to assess the validity and reliability of the AMC via test and re-test procedures. The concurrent validity score (r) was 0.148, indicating moderate validity. The intra-class correlation value was more significant than 0.60, indicating good dependability. The AMC has eight measured skills, with a validity and reliability value range of 0.735-0.971. However, the non-locomotor (swing hand roll) skill test yielded poor results with a validity value of 0.310 and a reliability value of 0.735. In conclusion, the modified FMS instrument, AMC, has adequate validity and reliability, and it can be used to assess the motor skills of Indonesian children.
