The Mediating Role of Interest in Physical Education Class Between Satisfaction With Life and Attachment to School

Abstract

In this study, the mediating role of interest in physical education class in the relationship between satisfaction with life and attachment to school was examined. The study included 395 students studying in secondary schools in Çanakkale province. The scales of attachment to school, satisfaction with life and interest in physical education and sports lessns were used in the study. In the research, the mediation analysis process was carried out through the JASP 0.16.4 statistical program. It was concluded that the model that was tried to be tested was confirmed. It was confirmed that interest in physical education class has a mediating role in the relationship between satisfaction with life and attachment to school, attachment to friends and attachment to teachers. As a result of the model, it was found that satisfaction with life had a direct effect on attachment to school, attachment to friends and attachment to teachers. In addition to this result, it was determined that it had an indirect effect on attachment to school, friends and teacher through interest in physical education class. In line with the findings of this study, it is seen that interest in physical education and sports lessons is effective in increasing students' attachment to school, teacher and friends. For this reason, it is important to create pleasure and entertainment-oriented content especially in young age groups (primary and secondary school) in order to increase students' interest in the course.
