The CATCH PE program significantly improved motor skill competency in fourth and fifth graders. While boys outperformed girls, girls showed notable gains in throwing and soccer skills, though striking skills require further development.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Education
  • Motor Skill Development
  • Pediatric Health

Background:

  • Quality physical education curricula are essential for developing fundamental motor skills in children.
  • Assessing motor skill competency is crucial for tracking student progress and curriculum effectiveness.
  • The PE Metrics assessment rubrics provide a standardized tool for evaluating motor skills in physical education settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of the CATCH PE program on the motor skill competency of fourth and fifth-grade students.
  • To assess the effectiveness of PE Metrics assessment rubrics in measuring changes in manipulative skills.
  • To identify specific skill areas where students, particularly girls, may need additional support.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal study involving 1,346-1,926 fourth and fifth-grade students over a pre-intervention and three post-intervention years.

  • Students' performance on three manipulative skills was assessed using PE Metrics assessment rubrics.
  • Data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and ANOVA to compare skill performance across cohorts and genders.

    • Main Results:

    • Students in the post-intervention year 2 cohort demonstrated significantly higher motor skill competency than pre-intervention and post-intervention year 1 cohorts.
    • Improvements were observed in soccer and striking skills post-intervention, though throwing skills did not show significant gains initially.
    • Boys consistently outperformed girls, but girls showed substantial improvement in overhand throwing and soccer skills; striking skills remained an area for development for girls.

    Conclusions:

    • The CATCH PE program is effective in enhancing the manipulative skill competency of elementary school students.
    • PE Metrics assessment rubrics are practical and feasible tools for physical education teachers to assess motor skill development.
    • Targeted interventions may be necessary to address gender-based disparities in specific motor skills, particularly striking for girls.
