Abstract

Araştırma ortaöğretim öğrencilerinin dijital bağımlılık düzeyleri ile beden eğitimi ve spora yönelik eğilimlerinin, fiziksel aktivite ve fiziksel uygunlukla ilgili yansımalarını karşılaştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Araştırmaya ortaöğretim düzeyinde 733 gönüllü öğrenci katılmıştır. Katılımcılara kişisel bilgi formu, dijital bağımlılık ölçeği(DBÖ), fiziksel aktivite anketi-kısa formu(IPAQ), fiziksel uygunluk ölçümleri ile bazı antropometrik ölçümler yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde min, max, ortalama, frekans yüzdelikler, t-testi ve tukey testi kullanılmıştır. Fiziksel aktivite düzeyi skorlarına göre şiddetli aktivite, oturma aktivitesi ve toplam aktivite düzeyinde, haftalık beden eğitimi ders saatine göre lisanslı olup olmama değişkenlerinde anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır. Dijital bağımlılık ölçeği skorlarına göre öğrencilerin cinsiyet ve lisanslı ya da lisanssız olmaları açısından anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Haftalık beden eğitimi ders saatine göre dijital bağımlılık ölçeğinin “oyun bağımlılığı” alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık olduğu görülmüştür. Yapılan araştırmada, öğrencilerin fiziksel uygunluk düzeylerine göre kızların erkeklerden daha esnek, erkeklerin ise sağ ve sol el kuvveti ve kardiyorespiratuar dayanıklılık verilerinin kızlardan daha iyi olduğu, haftalık beden eğitimi ders saati fazla olan öğrencilerin, lisanslı öğrencilerin fiziksel uygunluk düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Fiziksel aktivite düzeylerine göre kızların toplam aktivite skorları iyi, erkeklerin şiddetli aktivite ve oturma aktivite skorları yüksek, lisanslı öğrencilerin daha aktif oldukları, haftalık beden eğitimi ders saati fazla olanların fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dijital bağımlılık sonuçlarına göre kızlar ile erkekler arasında, lisanslılar ile lisanssızlar arasında bir fark olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Comparison of Secondary School Students’ Digital Addiction Levels and Their Tendencies’ Towards Physical Education and Sports

Abstract

The study aimed to compare the reflections of secondary school students' digital addiction levels and their tendencies towards physical education and sports, physical activity, and physical fitness. A total of 733 voluntary secondary school students participated in the study. Personal information form, digital addiction scale (DBQ), physical activity questionnaire-short form (IPAQ), physical fitness measurements, and some anthropometric measurements were performed. Data were analyzed using min, max, mean, frequency percentages, t-test, and Tukey test. According to the physical activity level scores, significant differences were found in vigorous activity, sitting activity, and total activity level, and according to weekly physical education course hours, there was a significant difference in the variables of being licensed or not. According to the digital addiction scale scores, no significant difference was found in terms of gender and being licensed or unlicensed. According to the physical fitness levels of the students, it was seen that girls were more flexible than boys, boys had better right and left-hand strength and cardiorespiratory endurance data than girls, and students with more weekly physical education class hours and licensed students had higher physical fitness levels. According to the physical activity levels, it was determined that girls had good total activity scores, boys had high vigorous activity and sitting activity scores, licensed students were more active, and those with more weekly physical education class hours had higher physical activity levels. According to the results of digital addiction, it was determined that there was no difference between girls and boys or between licensed and unlicensed students.
