Adaptation of Trainers’ Pedagogical Competencies Scale to Turkish Culture and Examination of Trainers’ Pedagogical Competencies According to Perceptions of Young Athletes

Abstract

The aim of this study is to adapt Trainers’ Pedagogical Competencies Scale in Young Athletes (Pädagogischer Kompetenzmaßstab des Trainers im Nachwuchsleistungssport-PKTN), developed by Zetter (2008), to the sample of Turkish young athletes and examine pedagogical competency perceptions of young athletes taking place in the different branches related to their trainers according to the different variables. Davis technique was used for language and content validity in the analysis of the data. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used for construct validity, and t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used for comparison between groups. In the results of the confirmative factor analysis (DFA) of Turkish form made though the data obtained from 461 young athletes taking place in 4 different branches (X2 /sd =3,89 RMSEA=0.079), although data compliance with 6-factors model of PKTN consisting of the sub-dimensions of “empathy and attention”, “hindering support or solidarity”, “positive feedback”, “social support”, “democratic training climate”, and” target-oriented training” is seen to be supported, it is seen that it has a similar structure to original scale. As a result, it is seen that PRTN is a valid and reliable measuring scale that is suitable for using in the relevant studies in measuring the pedagogical perceptions of Turkish athletes. In the second stage of the study, 505 young athletes taking place again in 4 different branches were reached, and young athletes were examined according to the variables of gender, age and gender of trainers. As a result of analyses, in the perceptions of young athletes related to pedagogical competencies of their trainers, a significant difference was seen in favor of the female athletes in their behavior related to empathy and attention, positive feedback, social support, and target–oriented training.

Antrenör Pedagojik Yeterlik Ölçeğinin Türk Kültürüne Uyarlanması ve Genç Sporcuların Algılarına Göre Antrenörlerin Pedagojik Yeterliklerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Zetter (2008) tarafından geliştirilen Genç Sporcularda Antrenör Pedagojik Yeterlik Ölçeğinin (Pädagogischer Kompetenzmaßstab des Trainers im Nachwuchsleistungssport-PKTN) Türk genç sporcu örnekleminde uyarlanması ve farklı branşlarda yer alan genç sporcuların antrenörleri ile ilgili pedagojik yeterlik algılarının farklı değişkenlere göre incelenmesidir. Verilerin analizinde dil ve kapsam geçerliliği için Davis tekniği kullanılmıştır. Yapı geçerliliği için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA), gruplar arası ortalama karşılaştırması için t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Türkçe formun 4 farklı branşta yer alan toplam 461 genç sporcudan elde edilen veriler üzerinden yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları (X2 /sd =3,89 RMSEA=0.079) PKTN’nin empati ve dikkat, destek veya dayanışmanın engellenmesi, pozitif geri bildirim, sosyal destek, demokratik antrenman iklimi ve hedef odaklı antrenman alt boyutlarından oluşan altı faktörlü modeli ile veri uyumunun desteklendiği görülmekle birlikte özgün ölçekle benzer bir yapıya sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak PKTN’nin Türk sporcuların antrenörlerinin pedagojik algılarını ölçmede, ilgili araştırmalarda kullanılmaya uygun geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışmanın ikinci aşamasında ise yine 4 farklı branşta (hentbol, voleybol, futbol, basketbol) yer alan toplam 505 genç sporcuya ulaşılmış ve genç sporcuların cinsiyet, yaş ve antrenörün cinsiyeti değişkenlerine göre incelenmiştir. Analizler sonucunda genç sporcuların antrenörlerinin pedagojik yeterlikleri ile ilgili algılarında, empati ve dikkat, pozitif geri bildirim, sosyal destek ve hedef odaklı antrenman davranışlarında kadın sporcuların lehine anlamlı bir fark görülmüştür.
