Abstract

Introduction and objective: novel sports facilitate the homogeneity of the level of expertise in the students, favoring a more equal environment in the practice of sports in the school context. In this sense, the aim of this article was to design, validate and adapt the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) for Goubak learning. A new sport with a regulation that favors playing in mixed teams, greater inclusion and participation, innovative structural elements and that is present in numerous regional curricular decrees in Spain. A new instrument for the evaluation of game performance (decision making, technical execution, support and marking) has been developed and validated to facilitate its use in Physical Education classes and in extracurricular contexts.

Methods: expert judges' ratings were considered, Pearson's correlation was used to determine the ability of researchers to reproduce results. Intra-observer reliability values exceeded the value of 0.7 in all cases except receptive decision making, which had a value of 0.537. For the inter-observer reliability values, a total of 37,740 actions of 20 players were analyzed by two trained observers, determining an adequate reliability.

Results and conclusions: the instrument is composed of a total of eight defined and validated criteria, linked to four components: decision making, technical execution, support and marking. One of the positive aspects of the instrument is the reduced number of criteria used, thus facilitating actual implementation by teachers in the school context and extracurricular sport.
