High School Students' Attitudes towards Physical Education and Sports Teaching Profession

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of students continuing their education in different secondary education institutions towards physical education and sports teaching profession according to various variables. In this quantitative study, the survey model was adopted. While the population of the study consists of secondary education institutions affiliated to Kırıkkale Provincial Directorate of National Education, the sample group consists of 1531 students who continue their education in secondary education institutions affiliated to the central district of this province and determined by probabilistic simple random sampling method. “Attitude Scale towards Physical Education Teaching Profession” developed by Yanık and Çamlıyer (2013) was used as the measurement tool. Reliability, independent sample and one-way variance analyses were applied to the data that met the normality assumptions. Depending on the homogeneity assumption of the data, Welch values were taken into consideration and Tamhane's T2 and Tukey tests from Post Hoc tests were applied as second level tests. As a result of the research, it is seen that doing sports affects the attitude towards physical education and sports teaching profession. Therefore, it is thought that directing students who want to do this profession to sports activities will play an important role in developing positive attitudes towards the profession.
