Physical literacy evaluation of primary school students in indonesia: validity and reliability analysis of PL-C Quest instrument with rasch model

Introduction. Good physical literacy is important for students to support a better life. therefore it is necessary to evaluate it. Objectives. This study aimed to evaluate the level of physical literacy of primary school students in Indonesia with a focus on the validity and reliability of the measurement instrument, PL-C Quest. Methodology. Using Rasch model for data analysis, this study measured physical literacy dimensions including physical, psychological, social, and cognitive aspects. The study sample consisted of 120 students from three provinces in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using WINSTEPS version 4.7.0 application to ensure measurement accuracy. Results. Showed that 70% of students were in the “high” category in physical literacy, with strengths in social and cognitive aspects. However, the main challenge lies in developing more complex motor skills, such as balance, coordination and endurance. Rasch analysis showed that the PL-C Quest instrument had adequate reliability with a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.78 and good validity in measuring the dimensions of physical literacy. Although the reliability of the instrument was good, some items needed to be improved, especially those measuring students' motor skills. Discussion. Revealed the importance of intervention programs that focus more on developing basic motor skills and the use of more accurate measurement instruments. This study makes an important contribution to the development of physical education and sport policy in Indonesia and supports the achievement of Indonesia Bugar 2045. Conclusion. Physical literacy of primary school students has great potential to be developed, but requires improvement of motor skills and improvement of measurement instruments.
