Abstract :
This research examines the relationship between parents' awareness and effectiveness with their children's motor literacy according to the children's gender.For this purpose, 100 students (girls and boys) with an average age of 10 to 15 years were randomly selected in the eastern region of Tehran and the sample was determined through Morgan's table. In order to evaluate the motor literacy of the participants, the sub-structures of the motor literacy model (physical fitness, health-related physical fitness) were used. In this way, physical fitness data will be collected using Ulrich's third edition gross motor development test. In addition, 200 parents of these students are asked to confirm the information recorded in their children's questionnaire and also complete the media literacy questionnaire. To measure health-related physical fitness, (body composition) BMI, (aerobic fitness) 540m run walk test, (muscular fitness) two sit-ups and 90 degree Swedish swim tests, (flexibility) sit-and-reach flexibility test, Was used. Also, in order to evaluate the functions of motor senses, Connors neuropsychological test was used. To test the hypotheses of this research, simple multiple regression method as well as Pearson's correlation and one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's post hoc test were used. A significance level of 0.05 was considered. The results of this research indicate a significant and direct relationship between parents' media literacy and motor literacy functions of students, and also show that the relationship of parents' media literacy on the average level of motor literacy of male students is higher than that of girls.
