12-14 Yaş Futbolcularda Kinestetik Zekâ İle Yaşam Becerileri Arasındaki İlişki

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, 12–14 yaş aralığındaki futbolcularda kinestetik zekâ düzeyi ile sporun yaşam becerilerine etkisi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılarak yürütülen çalışmaya, Türkiye’nin farklı illerindeki spor kulüplerinde lisanslı olarak futbol oynayan toplam 253 sporcu (126 kız, 127 erkek) katılmıştır. Veri toplama araçları olarak Çoklu Zekâ Alanları Değerlendirme Ölçeğinin bedensel/kinestetik zekâ alt boyutu ile Sporun Yaşam Becerilerine Etkisi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 26.0 programında analiz edilmiş; bağımsız örneklem t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve regresyon analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular, kinestetik zekâ puanlarının anne ve baba eğitim düzeyine göre anlamlı farklılık gösterdiğini, buna karşın beden kitle indeksi, spor yapma süresi ve haftalık spor saatinin kinestetik zekâ üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Spor yapma süresinin yaşam becerileri puanlarını anlamlı düzeyde etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Regresyon analizi sonuçları, sporun yaşam becerilerine etkisinin kinestetik zekâyı anlamlı biçimde yordadığını göstermiştir. Yaşam becerilerinin alt boyutları incelendiğinde ise liderlik ve zaman yönetimi becerilerinin kinestetik zekânın anlamlı ve pozitif yordayıcıları olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, sporun yaşam becerileri ile kinestetik zekâ arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunduğu ve özellikle liderlik ile zaman yönetimi becerilerinin kinestetik zekâ ile daha güçlü ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.

The Relationship Between Kinesthetic Intellıgence and Life Skills In 12-14 Year Old Football Players

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between kinesthetic intelligence and the impact of sports on life skills among 12–14-year-old footballers. Conducted using the correlational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, the study involved 253 athletes (126 girls and 127 boys) who play football as licensed members of sports clubs in various provinces across Turkey. Data were collected using the Body/Kinesthetic Intelligence subscale of the Multiple Intelligences Assessment Scale and the Scale of the Effect of Sport on Life Skills. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, and independent samples t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and regression analyses were employed. The findings revealed that kinesthetic intelligence scores differed significantly according to the educational level of the mother and father. However, body mass index, duration of sports participation, and weekly hours of sports had no significant effect on kinesthetic intelligence. The duration of sports participation was found to significantly influence life skills scores. Regression analysis results showed that the effect of sports on life skills significantly predicted kinesthetic intelligence. Examining the sub-dimensions of life skills revealed that leadership and time management skills were significant positive predictors of kinesthetic intelligence. In conclusion, significant positive relationships were observed between life skills and kinesthetic intelligence skills in young people, particularly in regard to leadership and time management skills. These results demonstrate that soccer is an important developmental environment that contributes to the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development of young people.
