An Investıgatıon of Hıgh School Students' Awareness of The Olympıcs

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the Olympic awareness of high school students. A total of 504 students, 272 female and 232 male, studying in Project Schools in Bitlis province participated in the study in which the survey model was adopted. The data were obtained with the “High School Students' Olympic Awareness Scale” and Personal Information Form. Descriptive statistics and one-way MANOVA test were used to analyze the collected data. As a result of the analyzes, it was determined that there was a significant difference in the mean Olympic concepts scores of the students according to gender (p<.05), while there was no significant difference in other dimensions according to gender (p>.05). While no significant difference was obtained in Olympic awareness according to grade and mother's education level (p>.05), significant differences were obtained in the Olympic concepts dimension according to father's education level (p<.05). A significant difference was found in the Olympics awareness of the students according to the status of following the Olympics (p<.05). In addition, it was found that the Olympic awareness of the students was above average. As a result, it was found that males had higher awareness levels than females. It was concluded that those whose father's education level was undergraduate had a higher level of Olympics awareness than those whose father's education level was secondary education. It was concluded that those who follow the Olympics have a higher level of awareness than those who do not follow the Olympics.
