Abstract
Abstract A study of comparison in performance in selected motor skills between elementary school children taught by the specialist in physical education and those taught by the classroom teacher was made. Five tests of motor skills related to running, jumping, and ball handling were administered to approximately 200 grade 6 boys and girls from eight different schools who were taught physical education by the specialist, and to 200 grade 6 boys and girls from nine additional schools who were taught physical education by the classroom teacher. Mean scores for each test were compared separately for boys and girls using the t test of significance for two independent samples. Significant differences in favor of the group taught by the specialist were found on all five tests for girls and in three of the five tests for boys.
