Investigation of Self-efficacy Levels of Tennis Coaches
Abstract
The aim was to compare the self-efficacy of tennis
coaches according to different variables. Personal information form and
Coaching Self-efficacy Scale-II were given to a total of 184 tennis coaches of
different levels. One way ANOVA, LSD and t-tests were used for statistical
analysis. Statistically significant difference was found in motivation, game
strategies, technical teaching, character formation and physical fitness in
terms of age, coaching levels, place of coaching, state of being in the
national team, and years of coaching (p <0,05 and p<0,001). As age level,
coaching level and years of coaching increased, subscale scores also increased.
Subscale scores of trainee coaches were found to be low. Subscale scores of the
national team tennis coaches were generally higher than the scores of others.
In terms of age groups, the average scores of coaches aged 25 and younger were
lower than those of coaches aged between 26 and 31. In terms of coaching ranks,
the average scores of trainee coaches who did not have certificate were lower
than those of coaches who had first and second rank certificates. It was
concluded that the more time tennis coaches spent on the court and the more
experience they had, the higher their self-efficacy was. It can be said that
tennis coaches have moderate level of self-efficacy. It is recommended that
they should improve more about game strategies and fitness efficacy.
