Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate an instrument that evaluates dimensions of planning and implementation of an intervention program focused on physical activity promotion in schoolers. It was conducted a methodological study carried out during the months of July to December of 2016, part of the Movimente Program. The study included theoretical (instrument development), empirical and analytical phases (content validadion by specialists, with scores atribution to each item, and by participants with characteristics similar to those of the target population, including school community, and students from 7th to 9th grade school). The instrument is composed by two dimensions: planning and process. Results show that planning was composed by indicators related to the importance of discussing health topics on the school context; interest in take part of the Program and its respective actions. Dimension included indicatos related to awaraness and evaluation program, and interest on program maintenance. All questions were considered valid (validation scores greater then 0.90) and with a good semantic (scores greated than 0.82). In conclusion, the instrument showed a reasonable quality regarding semantic and content validity, being considered apropriate for evaluation of Movimente Program and similar programs of physical activitiy programs in schoolers.
