How to Use This Calculator

Enter Student Age, then rate each skill (Running, Jumping, Hopping, Skipping / Galloping, Overhand Throw, Catching, Kicking, Striking, Static Balance, Dynamic Balance) as Emerging, Developing, Competent, or Proficient.
Set Confidence / Motivation to reflect the student's willingness to try new activities and self-efficacy.
Adjust individual skill ratings as needed to match observed performance.
Review the Physical Literacy Score (1-4) result.
Use Locomotor Skills (1-4) and Object Control (1-4) to inform your decision.

What each input means

Student Age: Age in years for age-appropriate expectations.
Running: Running movement competency.
Jumping: Horizontal and vertical jumping competency.
Hopping: Single-foot hopping with control.
Skipping / Galloping: Rhythmic locomotor patterns.
Overhand Throw: Overhand throwing form and accuracy.
Catching: Catching with hands (not trapping against body).
Kicking: Kicking a stationary and moving ball.
Striking: Striking with implements (bat, racket, paddle).
Static Balance: Balancing on one foot, balance beam, etc.
Dynamic Balance: Maintaining balance during movement.
Confidence / Motivation: Willingness to try new activities and self-efficacy.

Physical Literacy Score (1-4): Weighted composite across all domains.
Locomotor Skills (1-4): Average score for running, jumping, hopping, skipping.
Object Control (1-4): Average score for throwing, catching, kicking, striking.
Stability/Balance (1-4): Average score for static and dynamic balance.
Confidence Score (1-4): Self-reported or observed motivation level.
Age-Expected Level: Expected competency level for this age group.
Development Gap: Positive = above expected, negative = below expected.
Skills at Competent+ (%): Percentage of skills rated 3 or 4.
Proficient Skills (count): Number of skills rated at level 4.
Emerging Skills (count): Number of skills still at level 1 — priority areas.

Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Student Age = 8, Running = 3, Jumping = 3, Hopping = 2 = 12 input(s) provided
Calculate Physical Literacy Score
Physical Literacy Score = movementCompetence * 0.6 + stabilityAvg * 0.2 + confidence * 0.2
2.35 = 2.35
Calculate Locomotor Skills
Locomotor Skills = (running + jumping + hopping + skipping) / 4
2.5 = 2.5
Calculate Object Control
Object Control = (throwing + catching + kicking + striking) / 4
2 = 2
