Attitudes are the performative step of potential
behaviors. They can give prior knowledge about behaviors to be exhibited in the
future. Thus, they can be essential in providing foresight on testing the
attitudes. It is important to know the sports students’ attitude levels
regarding the schools which provide education towards sports. In this research,
it is aimed to examine the sports high school students’ attitude regarding
school. Research participants; 394 students who are studying at Sivas and Çorum
Sports High Schools and are stated according to the convenience sampling
method. Personal information form and “Attitude Regarding School Scale” which
is developed by Adıgüzel (2012) are used to collect data. Besides, “t-test” and
“one way ANOVA” tests are used to detect whether the difference between the
attitudes according to the sportsmen’s country, gender, class level they study,
school preferance state and family wealth are important. Research significance
level is accepted as p<0.05. As a result, significant difference is detected
at these extents: only trust sub-dimension according to gender factor; value
and adaption sub-dimensions according to class level factor; trust, value and
adaption sub-dimensions according to school preferance state factor; value
sub-dimension according to grade repetition factor; love and value
sub-dimensions according to family wealth factor. From this point of view,
attitude regarding school can be changed positively by organizing intramural
and extrascholastic social activities with male and female students from
different levels and from those who have negative or positive attitudes
regarding school, or by providing activities for spending more time together.
