Abstract

This study reports on the systematic content validation method used to validate scenes in tennis video games. A panel of five experts evaluated the moving images through the criteria of clarity of language, practical relevance and the representativeness of the item. The results illustrate how scenes in tennis video games, in decision-making situations, can transform into validated items, considering values above 0.80. The aim of the scene validation was to establish items to build a declarative, tactical knowledge test construct to evaluate tennis players’ levels of decision making and perception. Bearing in mind that scenes represented real tennis situations, as evaluated by a panel of judges, it was shown to be an effective procedure for scene delimitation, with 39 of the 43 selected scenes being approved for the creation of the test.
