Abstract
The current study assessed the impact of movement exercises on Turkish Airforce trianee airplane mechanics’ academic achievement. Twenty seven trainees and their teachers participated in the study. Fourteen trainees established the control group because they took the course earlier than the other thirteen trainees. Movement and exercise was applied to the experimental group at the beginning of the sessions. Trainees’ responded to a standardized test on airplane mechanics before the course and 17 weeks later at the end of the course. Both groups showed significant increases in their test scores. Even though the experimental group showed more mean increase and had higher post test mean scores than the control group the difference did not reach a statistically significant level.

Abstract
Bu çalışmada hareketin Türk Hava Kuvvetleri uçak teknikeri kursu katılımcılarının kurs başarısı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Yirmi yedi katılımcı ve onların öğreticileri çalışmaya katılmışlardır. Yirmi yedi katılımcı aynı kursu değişik zamanlarda almışlardır.On dört katılımcı kursu daha önce aldıkları için kontrol grubunu oluşturmuşlardır. Her dersin başlangıcında deney grubundaki katılımcıların eklemlerini hareket etmelerini sağlayacak egzersizler uygulanmıştır. Her iki grup da uçak teknikerliği ile ilgili kursun başında ve 17 hafta sonunda standart bir testti cevaplamışlardır. Her iki grup da öntest sontest arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir yükseliş göstermişlerdir. Her ne kadar deney grubu kontrol grubuna göre öntestten sontestte daha büyük bir artış göstermiş ve sontestten ortalama olarak daha yüksek sonuç elde etmiş olsa da bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı boyuta ulaşmamıştır.
