An international group of experts have developed a pictorial tool to measure perceived water competence for children aged from 5 to 8 years old: the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Water Competence (PSPWC). The aim of the present study was to verify the validity of this tool. In the first part of the study, 120 children were interviewed to investigate face validity of the PSPWC to ensure that all pictorial items were understandable. In the second part of the study, 13 scientific and/or pedagogical international experts were invited to assess the tool’s content validity via an online survey. Face validity results revealed that children were able to understand and sequence correctly the aquatic situations in 92% of the cases. The average Content Validity Index (CVI) of the PSPWC ranged from 0.88 to 0.95, showing acceptable content validity. Feedback from experts and children resulted in a major improvement of the “exit water” situation and minor improvements concerning some other items. Experts confirmed that the PSPWC was globally appropriate for different countries and cultures, except for the situation “water entry by slide” which was not considered usual practice in some countries. The PSPWC opens up to new fields of research; useful both for the prevention of drowning and for the support of children’s aquatic education.

Differences between Young Children’s Actual, Self-perceived and Parent-perceived Aquatic Skills
D’Hondt, Eva; Buelens, Lise; Barnett, Lisa M.; Howells, Kristy; Sääkslahti, Arja; Costa, Aldo M.; Jidovtseff, Boris; Mertens, Lisa; De Martelaer, Kristine (SAGE Publications, 2021)As drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury/death in children worldwide, perceptions of their actual aquatic skills are of critical importance. Children’s self-perceptions may influence the risks they take, and ... -
What factors relate to three profiles of perception of motor competence in young children?
Niemistö, Donna; Barnett, Lisa M.; Cantell, Marja; Finni, Taija; Korhonen, Elisa; Sääkslahti, Arja (Routledge, 2022)The study aims were to 1) examine profiles of perception of motor competence (PMC) in relation to actual motor competence (AMC), i.e. under-estimators (UEs), realistic estimators (REs) and over-estimators (OEs) and 2) ... -
School-Age Children’s Actual Motor Competence and Perceived Physical Competence : A 3-Yr Follow-up
Gråstén, Arto; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Jaakkola, Timo (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022)Purpose This study examined school-aged children’s actual motor competence (MC) and perceived physical competence (PC) over three years along with the covariate effects of gender and body mass index (BMI).

Actual and perceived motor competence : Are children accurate in their perceptions?
Morano, M.; Bortoli, L.; Ruiz, M. C.; Campanozzi, A; Robazza, C. (Public Library of Science, 2020)The aims of this study were (1) to investigate whether 6−7-year-old children are accurate in perceiving their actual movement competence, and (2) to examine possible age- and gender-related differences. A total of 603 ... -
The Inter-Rater and Intra-Rater Reliability of the Actual Aquatic Skills Test (AAST) for Assessing Young Children’s Motor Competence in the Water
Mertens, Lisa; De Martelaer, Kristine; Sääkslahti, Arja; D’Hondt, Eva (MDPI AG, 2022)As children’s actual aquatic skills are important for the prevention of drowning as well as their engagement in lifelong aquatic physical activity, researchers and practitioners should be able to assess this vital concept ...
