Full text available on request.Abstract
It is important to increase awareness among therapists about the use of motor teaching strategies in clinical practice. The first aim of the current study was to develop an observation classification system, i.e. a taxonomy, regarding ‘practice’ as a motor teaching strategy. A second aim was to investigate the intra- and inter-observer reliability of this taxonomy. Based on findings from a literature study and discussions with other researchers the taxonomy was developed. Fifteen recorded therapy sessions of children (age 7 to 12) diagnosed with DCD were scored with the taxonomy. Both the frequency and duration of the applied practice methods were scored. For frequency, three out of five practice methods had a good intra-observer reliability and two out of five practice methods had a good inter-observer reliability, as the ICCs were excellent or near-perfect. In case of the duration, two out of five practice methods had a good intra-observer reliability and three out of five practice methods had a good inter-observer reliability, as the ICCs were moderate to near-perfect. For the remaining practice methods the ICCs of both intra- and inter-observer reliability were low, but these practice methods were not or hardly ever observed. Adjustments of the definition of constant and mental practice in the manual should be applied to prevent differences in frequency between observers. Furthermore, the reliability for duration can be improved by describing more clearly the beginning and end of a practice method in the manual.
