Erdem ve ödev arasında: Spor yöneticisi adaylarının spor eğitiminde etik konusundaki farkındalıklarını keşfetmek üzerine nitel bir araştırma

Öz

Bu çalışma, spor yöneticisi adaylarının erdem ve görev gibi etik kutuplar arasında ahlaki bilincin gelişimi konusundaki farkındalıklarını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. “Sporda Etik Eğitim” başlıklı seminere katılan 52 öğrencinin yansıtıcı metinlerinden elde edilen veriler, nitel tek vaka çalışması tasarımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve veriler refleksif tematik analiz kullanılarak yorumlanmıştır. Bulgular, etik farkındalığın, birbiriyle ilişkili üç boyut altında şekillendiğini göstermektedir: Etik değerlerin inşası, mesleki etik bilincin oluşumu ve etik uyanış ve kişisel dönüşüm süreci. Bu temalar, Aristoteles'in pratik bilgelik ve Kant'ın görev etiği çerçevesinde yorumlanmıştır. Çalışma, spor eğitiminde etik farkındalığın sadece kavramları anlamaktan ibaret olmadığını göstermektedir. Aynı zamanda etik sorunların potansiyel etkilerini belirleyebilme ve doğru bir şekilde anlayabilme becerisini de içerir. Etik öğrenme, insanların ahlaki aktörler haline gelmelerini sağlayan yansıma ve ilişkiler gerektirir. Bu nedenle çalışma, spor eğitiminin etik boyutlarının yeniden düşünülmesi gerektiğini savunmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, çalışma, spor yönetimi eğitiminin erdem, görev ve sosyal adalet arasında sürekli bir diyalog yoluyla ahlaki oluşu ilerletmek için dönüştürücü bir platform işlevi gördüğünü savunmaktadır.

Between virtue and duty: A Qualitative study on exploring prospective sports managers' awareness of ethics in sport education

Abstract

This study aims to explore the awareness of prospective sports managers regarding the development of moral consciousness between the ethical poles of virtue and duty. Data obtained from the reflective texts of 52 students who participated in the seminar titled "Ethical Education in Sports" were analyzed using a qualitative single-case study design, and the data were interpreted using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings show that moral awareness is shaped under three interrelated dimensions: The construction of ethical values, the formation of professional ethical consciousness, and the process of ethical awakening and personal transformation. These themes were interpreted within the framework of Aristotle's phronesis (practical wisdom) and Kant's duty ethics. The study shows that being aware of ethics in sports education is more than just understanding concepts. It also involves being able to identify and accurately understand the potential effects of ethical issues. Ethical learning requires reflection and relationships that allow people to become moral agents; therefore, the study argues for a rethinking of the ethical dimensions of sports education. Consequently, the study argues that sport management education serves as a transformative platform for advancing moral formation through a continuous dialogue between virtue, duty, and social justice.
