PHYSICAL LITERACY ASSESSMENT. A LITERATURE REVIEW

Giacomo Pascali, Dario Colella

Abstract


Physical literacy (PL) has become one of the main goals of physical education, extracurricular physical activity and the promotion of sport worldwide. In the National Guidelines (2012), teaching motor competencies is oriented to promote the factors that makeup PL. The paper aims to present a review of the main protocols and tests for the assessment of motor skills-abilities used in primary schools in order to analyze the structure and identify advantages and limitations. Assessing the teaching process and children’s motor skills is possible through various protocols, allowing systematic data to be acquired, learning milestones to be monitored, and motor development to be followed. The use of motor assessment protocols is a determinant of evidence-based physical education teaching.
