<![CDATA[The availability of culturally relevant and psychometrically verified motor skill assessment measures for upper primary school kids in Indonesia remains limited. The purpose of this study was to create and assess the validity and reliability of a motoric test instrument specifically tailored for fifth and sixth grade pupils. A cross-sectional design was used with 51 fifth-grade kids (27 boys and 24 girls) chosen by chance from a public primary school in Surabaya, Indonesia. The designed instrument included seven core movement skill items that represented locomotor, stability, and manipulative domains: obstacle leap, coordination movement, forward roll, football dribbling, basketball dribble, throw and catch, and ball striking. The data was analyzed with IBM SPSS 25 using Pearson product-moment correlation to determine item validity and Cronbach's alpha to measure internal consistency. Six of the seven test items were found to be valid (r = 0.31-0.75; p < 0.05), but the obstacle jump item did not satisfy the validity criteria (r = 0.27; p = 0.05). The overall reliability coefficient showed adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.59), above the minimum r-table value (0.28). These results indicate that the created instrument is largely valid and reliable for measuring fundamental movement skills in upper primary pupils, with only one item requiring minor revision. In practice, this instrument gives physical education instructors a context-appropriate and structured assessment tool to help them support evidence-based evaluation and improve motor learning outcomes in Indonesian primary schools.]]>
