Abstract

Background: Physical literacy (PL) is recognized as a fundamental concept for encouraging children to engage in lifelong physical activity and achieve healthy outcomes. However, in Indonesia, normative data and interpretive criteria for assessing children’s physical literacy are lacking. The Physical Literacy in Children Questionnaire (PL-C Quest) is a validated pictorial self-report tool, but no interpretation guidelines exist for its use in Indonesian contexts. Objectives: This study aimed to establish baseline normative data and preliminary interpretive guidelines for the PL-C Quest in Indonesian children aged 6–8 years. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 50 children (19 boys, 31 girls) aged 6–8 years, recruited from Indonesian elementary schools. Each child completed the 30-item PL-C Quest, which uses cartoon illustrations to assess perceived physical literacy across four domains (Physical, Psychological, Social, Cognitive). Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, ranges, percentiles) were calculated for total and domain scores. Preliminary percentile-based categories were developed to interpret individual scores. Result: The mean overall PL-C Quest score was 90.22 ± 11.74 (out of 120; ~75.2% of the maximum), with a median of 92 and range of 59–112. Domain scores (as percentages of their maximums) were highest in the social domain (79.3%), followed by Physical (77.0%), Psychological (72.4%), and Cognitive (71.6%). Five interpretive categories were defined: Very High, ≥102 points, High, 97–102, Moderate, 80–97, Low, 71–80, and Very Low, ≤71. Boys scored marginally higher on average than girls (91.53 vs. 89.42), and scores showed a slight decline with increasing age (mean for 6-year-olds 98.67; 7-year-olds 90.84; 8-year-olds 87.20). Conclusion: This study provides the first normative data on physical literacy for Indonesian children, revealing generally high perceived physical literacy with strengths in social interaction and physical competence. Areas for improvement include the cognitive and psychological domains. The new percentile-based categories offer educators and practitioners practical benchmarks for interpreting PL-C Quest scores and identifying children who may benefit from targeted interventions. These findings supply a crucial baseline for developing physical literacy programs and future research in Indonesia.

Abstract

Problems with physical literacy in schools cover a wide range of aspects that can affect students' health and well-being. Common problems include lack of time for physical education, inadequate facilities, low prioritization of physical activity, and lack of awareness about the health benefits, among others. In Indonesia, physical literacy is a new idea that is developing in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze how physical literacy relates to sport values. This study used cross sectional survey research. This study involved 111 junior high school students in Bandung City, (male = 48 people; female = 63 people) with an age range of 12-15 years. The results showed that there was a relationship between physical literacy and sport values (r = 0.469; Sig < 0.001). The resulting correlation level is included in the medium criteria and describes a positive relationship so that if the Physical Literacy variable increases, the Youth Sport Values variable increases and vice versa. Thus, understanding related to physical literacy and sport values can be used as an important indicator in the physical education learning process that must be considered by teachers
