Abstract

Context: This study aimed to determine reliability and validity of newly developed physical literacy
assessment instrument named CFM-1. For the inter-tester reliability sixty two respondents (37 males, 25
females) aged 21.97 ± 0.54 years old with 2 years basics sports science background voluntarily participated.
All respondents were given detailed explanations on CFM-1 instrument, and introductory on physical literacy
using the online module developed. Respondents were shown videos of similar action (throwing) but from
five different children aged 5-6 years old. Upon completing the viewing, respondents were then asked to rate
the performance of the child in the video using CFM-1 instrument. Similar protocol was repeated with all the
respondents for the second time. CFM-1 rating given by the respondents were then recorded and analyzed.
Validity was determined based on qualitative comparisons with characteristics of physical literacy described
in definition of term accepted worldwide.Results showedfor reliability, Cronbach’s Alpha ? was 0.767 for
motivation, 0.524 for knowledge, 5.733E-14 for confidence, 0.475 for understanding and 0.712 for overall
physical competence. For physical competence Likert Scale of 1-5, reliability Cronbach’s Alpha ? was
0.826. The CFM-1 instruments can be said as reliable to be used for physical literacy assessment, with good
reliability observed for all psychomotor and affective domain of learning involved, but some modification in
term of the method of testing may need to be clarified and adjusted (especially for the cognitive part of the
test - knowledge and understanding). Overall CFM-1 is valid and has an acceptable range of reliability level
as an instrument for physical literacy.
