Abstract

Geometrical measurement is one of the most difficult fields in primary school mathematics and regularly found to be an area of weaknesses. The factors affecting the low understanding is due to the lack of valid and reliable assessment instruments. Thus, this study aimed to develop and validate a Geometrical Measurement Skill Instrument (GMSI) to assess Year Five National school pupils’ geometrical measurement skills in geometrical measurement. GMSI was developed by applying the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) Taxonomy and was constructed in the super item format which consisted of 24 items altogether. This study applied a survey approach to assess 132 Year Five pupils’ geometrical measurement skills. The content validity was examined using the content validity index (CVI) analysis. For the construct validity, data were obtained and analyzed using the Rasch analysis. From the CVI analysis, the results showed that GMSI could be used for the pilot study. Results for the construct validity indicated that GMSI fulfilled the psychometric properties and is valid and reliable. Hence, the results could help teachers and pupils to diagnose the strength and weaknesses of geometrical measurement and help them to plan systematic remedy to improve teaching and learning.

Abstract

Talent identification (TID) in sports has been found to be heavily influenced by the expertise and judgment of the coach. However, the factors that inform this judgment have been found to be complex and understudied, especially in the sport of fencing. Inconsistencies have also been found in the concept and construct of TID in the development programs of young athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the essential criteria that inform TID in young male fencers aged between 12 and 15 years and to describe the criteria in the selection of young athletes to a fencing club. A qualitative research methodology was employed in this study. In this research, six male coaches from professional clubs affiliated with the Iraqi Fencing Federation were interviewed. The results of this study revealed that technical, tactical, and mental factors, especially fencing ability, decision-making capacity, and intrinsic motivational factors, were found to be essential in TID. Physiological, physical, and anthropometric factors were also found to be of little importance in TID. In conclusion, TID in young fencers needs to be informed by a holistic approach that considers different dimensions of development. Further research in this area needs to be conducted to refine the criteria in TID.
