Since 2019 the selection processes of new students of sports study programs of state higher education institutions are no longer carried out through direct motor skill tests, but with a portfolio assessment. Portfolio is a very complete evaluation instrument to evaluate potential student’s track record and performance aspects. There is no certainty until now of which one is better out of the two selection models. This descriptive quantitative research aimed at comparing new students’ live motor skills between direct motor skill test and portfolio assessment results. The research data were of secondary data from the live motor skill test results from the selection of 41 new students of Physical Education Study Program, Jenderal Soedirman University, Purwokerto in 2017 and of 65 new students’ portfolio assessment test results in 2020. The data analysis results show a significant difference in the eye-arm coordination test results (sig=0.000) and mobility test results (sig=0.000). However, there is no significant difference in leg muscle test results (sig=0.169), and running 1600-meter test results (sig=0.255). The research concludes that generally, the motor skill test results of portfolio assessment are better than direct test results. © 2021, Drustvo Pedagoga Tjelesne i Zdravstvene Kulture.
