The objective of this study is to find out to what extent some basic motoric features of children between the ages of 8 and 10 who were living in civic and rural areas developed. A total 80 students consisting of 40 females and 40 males, whose ages ranged from 8 to 10 and who were studying at a private school and a public village school in Ordu participated in this study. Motor performance test protocol, which included the stages of standing on one foot, agility, gripping, long jump, throwing and 12,20 meter sprint was applied to find out the basic motoric features of the children. Independent samples t-test was used for the analysis of the data. When the performance values of the students studying at private school and public village school were compared, no significant difference was found in the variable of standing on one foot (p>0.05). Significant differences were found in other independent variables of agility (p<0.05), gripping, long jump, throwing and 12.20-meter sprinting (p<0.01) between students studying in city and rural area. When the two schools were compared, significant differences were found in the gripping, long jump, throwing and sprint variables of female students in private school (p<0.01). Significant differences were also found in gripping and long jump variables of female students in private school (p<0.01). In our study, more development was found in the motoric features of students studying at private school. This difference can be explained with the quality of educational environment and care of the trainers, socioeconomic conditions and conscious parents.
