Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to build and develop and ad hoc multiple-choice written test to assess the schoolchildren’s knowledge of the environment around the educational center for physical conditioning (CENAFI). A total of 189 students (95 females) from first to fourth grades of Compulsory Secondary Education (Mage = 13.57 ± 1.3 years) participated in the study. The phases of the test validation were: (1) Construction and definition of the structure and purpose of the test; (2) content validation by experts; (3) piloting; (4) depuration and application of the definitive instrument; (5) test-retest reliability assessment; and (6) discriminant validity assessment. The final test consisted of 30 objective multiple-choice questions with moderate global difficulty (average = 11.60 points out of 30). All quantitative indices were adequate in difficulty, discrimination, and met the qualitative criteria established by the experts. The test-retest reliability of the test was adequate (ICC = .65) and the students who experienced the intervention program obtained a higher score than those of the control group, thus showing equally adequate discriminant validity. The results show that it is a valid and reliable measuring instrument in order to obtain information on schoolchildren’s knowledge of their immediate environment for physical conditioning. The present study represents a valuable contribution to scientific literature and has important practical repercussions for the Physical Education subject.

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 14 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:
