This study aim to identify the level of gross motor development in
Aboriginal children aged seven, eight, and nine years and distinguish it by
using a scale of Gross Motor Development Quotient ( GMDQ ). This study
was an ex post facto involving 99 subjects (M : 57 , P : 42 ) aged between
seven (M=6.53, SD=.34), eight (M=7.45, SD=.33), and nine years (M=8.56,
SD=.34). Ulrich's rough motor development test was being conducted to
measure the level of gross motor development of Aboriginal students for
locomotor and manipulative skills. The scores transcribed for GMDQ score.
Scores were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS) version 17.0 for comparing means gross motor achievements of
Aboriginal students according to age seven, eight, and nine years. The
results showed that there were significant differences for GMDQ Aboriginal
students aged seven, eight, and nine years [F (2, 117) = 40.264, p< .05]. For
the analysis of the Post Hoc Test, all three age groups of Aboriginal students
showed significant differences for GMDQ score (p
