Abstract. On the sample of 55 seven - year - old girls the applicability
of two newly constructed tests for the assessment of the knowledge of polka
and waltz dance steps performance was researched. Five referees, through
the video record, on Likert's five-point scale did the assessment of success
for each test. The referees' objective assessing and their good correlation
can be noticed in both tests so that the authors recommended them to be
applied in practice when assessing the knowledge of dance steps performance
in physical education (PE) teaching with seven year old pupils. The structure
of discriminative function shows the motor superiority of the second, rhythmically
better cluster, in relation to the first, less successful cluster of seven
year old girls. A satisfactory level of dance steps acquisition and a faster
process of learning are the best with the examinees having a pronounced
coordination in rhythm, above average speed of movements and explosive
strength.
Key words: waltz, polka, adequacy, motor abilities, differences
PLESNI KORACI: RAZLIKOVANJE IZMEĐU VIŠE
I MANJE USPEŠNIH SEDMOGODIŠNJIH DEVOJČICA
Na uzorku od 55 sedmogodišnjih djevojčica istraživana je primenljivost
dvaju novokonstruisanih testova za procenu izvođenja koraka polke i valcera.
Pet sudija procenilo je putem videozapisa izvođenje oba testa na Likertovoj
skali od pet ocena. Utvrđena je visoka objektivnost sudija na oba testa,
pa autori preporučuju primenu testova u praksi u cilju procenjivanja znanja
plesnih struktura u nastavi telesnog vaspitanja kod sedmogodišnjakinja.
Struktura diskriminativne funkcije ukazuje na motoričku superiornost
drugog, ritmički boljeg klastera, u poredjenju sa prvim klasterom manje
uspješnog izvođenja djevojčica. Zadovoljavajući stepen izvođenja plesnih
koraka i brži proces učenja najbolji je kod ispitanica sa izraženim sposobnostima
koordinacije u ritmu, natprosječne brzine pokreta i eksplozivne snage.
