The study examined the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Physical Literacy Questionnaire for Children (PL-C Quest), developed by Barnett and colleagues (2020) for children aged 4 - 8. The sample consisted of 375 students from kindergartens and elementary schools in Kocaeli. The value for internal consistency was found to be 0.95 for the physical domain, 0.73 for the social domain, 0.75 for the cognitive domain, 0.78 for the psychological domain, and 0.89 for the total scale. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a structure consisting of 24 items - 4 factors. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) subsequently validated the theoretical structure, resulting in a 21-item form after the removal of three items. Both versions demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. These results indicate that the Turkish PL-C Quest is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing the physical literacy levels of children aged 4 - 8 years. Furthermore, it is expected that it will contribute to upcoming research and applications in the area of early childhood education.
