Abstract | This study aims to investigate the effect of age and urban and rural living environments on children's actual and perceived motor competence. To that end, 320 female students aged 8-12 years were selected through random cluster sampling. The perceived motor competence of the participants was assessed using Marsh's Physical Self-Description Questionnaire, and their actual motor competence was measured by the Test of Gross Motor Development-3. The results showed significant differences between urban and rural girls in perceived and actual motor competence (p < 0.05). However, age did not make any significant difference in motor competence (p > 0.05). The most significant differences in actual and perceived motor competence between urban and rural girls were observed in girls aged 8 and 10 (p < 0.05). The findings also indicated that rural children performed better in actual motor skills, especially ball skills. Therefore, based on the findings, it was concluded that the rural environment could have a greater impact on actual motor competence. (As Provided). |
