A Construction of Futsal Skills Tests for Undergraduate Students of Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, Thailand

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to construct futsal skills tests and to establish norms of futsal skills for undergraduate students of Rajamangala University Technology Thanyaburi (RMUTT), Thailand. 260 samples of RMUTT students were used to study in 2 areas: 60 RMUTT students for studying on the quality of the futsal skills tests, and 200 RMUTT students for establishing norms of futsal skills. The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the quality of the tests was analyzed by Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient. The research results showed that the instruments for the futsal skills tests constructed in this research comprised 3 tests: 1) dribbling test, 2) wall test, and 3) shooting test. The objectivity and reliability were at a very high level (r = .908 - .995) with the statistically significant level of .05. Further, the scores of 3 tests were positively related at a very high level (r = .907 - .985) with the statistically significant level of .05. These could be indicated that the content validity of the futsal skills tests constructed in this research was at a very high level. Considering the test results of dribbling test, wall test, and shooting test, the average test scores of male students were 17.76, 15.85, and 7.77 respectively; and the average test scores of female students were 29.99, 10.60, and 6.93 respectively. Also, the norms of futsal skills in this research were divided into very good, good, average, acceptable, and weak.
