In the analysis of the data; according to the demographic characteristics of the participants, t-test and ANOVA were applied to investigate the differences between levels of academic achievement and leisure management, Pearson Correlation test was applied to examine relations between variables. In the findings of the research, there was a significant difference in the t-test results according to the “gender” variable in the SOFASAA total score avarages (p˂0,05) and this difference is in favor of male students. There was no significant relationship between LMS and SOFASAA total score averages according to “age” variables in the correlation test results (p >0,05). On the other hand, in the ANOVA test results, there was a significant difference between the LMS and SOFASAA total scores according to the “class” variable (p˂0,05). In addition, a significant difference was found in the total scores of LMS and SOFASAA according to the variable “participation in recreational activities” (p˂0,05) and this difference was found to be in favor of the group participating in the activities. In the correlation test results, there was a significant positive and low level relationship between the “income” variable with the LMS total scores and in the “leisure attitude” sub-dimension (p˂0,05). Finally, there was a significant relationship between the participants’ mean scores of LMS and SOFASAA (p˂0,05). As a result, participants’ leisure time management and academic achievement levels differed according to variables such as gender, class, participation in recreational activities; it has been determined that there was a significant positive and low level relationship between LMS and SOFASAA and it has been determined that the participants’ level of academic achievement will increase in the positive direction if the participants do leisure management positively and correctly.
