RESUMO

This research aimed to investigate the perception of competence, motivational orientation and motor performance in children from public schools. More specifically we sought: check if children who have motor difficulties in gross motor skills fundamental also present difficulties in motor tasks specific to fine motor skills and balance, as well as the differences in performance on the sex and ages; investigate the perceived competence of students, and the possible differences between age and sex; investigate the motivational orientation to school and the possible differences between age and sex; and make an association between the variables investigated. The total sample consisted of 301 children from six to 10 years old, attending two public schools, one in the city of Porto Alegre and other in the city Cachoeirinha in the metropolitan area. The instruments used for data collection were the "Test of gross motor development - Second Edition" (TDMG-2), validated for the population of RS (VALENTINI et al, 2008), the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Henderson; Sugden , 1992), the "Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Acceptance for Young Children" (Harter, PIKE, 1980), the "self-perception scale for children" validated in Brazil (VALENTINI et al, 2010) from the scale proposed by Harter (1985), and A "Scale of intrinsic versus Extrinsic Orientation in Classroom" (Harter, 1980). The results indicate: (1) motor performance poor and very poor for the abilities of locomotion and control of objects; and motor performance typical for the specific tasks of manual dexterity, abilities with the ball and balance; (2) boys had superior performance than girls at 10 years old for the abilities of control of objects; at eight years old for the abilities of locomotion; at seven, nine and 10 years old for the tasks of abilities with the ball; (3) girls had higher performance for the balance than the boys at nine years old; (4) in the abilities of locomotion girls had drop in performance from six to eight years old and stability later, and the boys showed stability of performance from six years old on; in the abilities of control of objects and in the tasks of abilities with the ball both sexes presented stability of performance from six years old; for the tasks of manual dexterity boys and girls had stability of performance from six to eight years old, drop in performance at nine years old and new stability at 10 years old; for the tasks of balance the boys had stability of performance from six to eight years old, drop at nine years old and improves performance at 10 years old, and the girls had stability of performance from six to eight years old with drop in performance from eight to 10 years; (5) children who had motor difficulties in gross motor skills fundamental also had difficulties in specific tasks of fine motor skills and balance; (6) moderate levels of perceived competence in all areas investigated; (7) boys realize that they are more competent in the athletic field and girls in behavioral conduct; (8) younger children perceive themselves more competent than children with more advanced age; (9) intrinsic motivation moderate in all dimensions investigated; (10) similarity in motivational orientation between boys and girls and also in the ages investigated; (11) positive and significant association between the perceived competence and motor performance; (12) positive and significant association between the perceived competence and intrinsic motivation; and finally, (13) lack of a significant association between motivational orientation and the motor performance.
