AWARENESS AND ATTITUDES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER CANDIDATES TOWARDS THE EFFECTS OF SPORTS ON THE INDIVIDUALS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the changes in the awareness and attitudes towards the effects of sports of physical education teacher candidates who participate in sports activities with individuals with intellectual disabilities. 28 physical education teacher candidates participated in the research designed in an experimental model. physical education teacher candidates were randomly assigned to an application group (n: 14) and a control group (n: 14). Physical education teacher candidates in the application group performed physical activities for 40 minutes, four days a week, for two weeks, seven individuals with intellectual disabilities between the ages of 8-12. Before physical activities, volunteer training consisting of three stages was given to physical education teacher candidates: awareness raising, what to do before the practice and what to do during the practice. Study data; The Personal Information Form was collected through the Awareness Scale for the Effects of Sports on Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities and the Attitude Scale for the Effects of Sports on Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities. Repeated Measures ANOVA test was used to analyze the data. According to the findings, it was determined that the group * measurement joint effect was significant on the awareness and attitude levels of physical education teacher candidates towards the effects of sports. The post-test scores of physical education teacher candidates in the application group were significantly higher than the pre-test scores. As a result, it was obtained the impression that participation in sports activities with individuals with intellectual disabilities had a positive effect on the awareness and attitudes of physical education teacher candidates towards the effects of sports. In line with this result, it is recommended to organize sports activities in which physical education teacher candidates will participate together with individuals with intellectual disabilities in in-class and extracurricular practices during the pre-service education process. It is thought that future physical education teachers, who are trained with positive awareness and attitudes towards the effects of sports, will contribute to the more effective participation of individuals with intellectual disabilities in sports activities.
