Abstract
This
study aims at determining eighth graders’ views and thoughts of physical
education courses in primary education schools through metaphors. The study
group was composed of 58 students attending Altınşehir Primary Education school
located in Adıyaman in the 2014-2015 academic year.The
data were collected by asking each student to complete the sentence “physical
education course is like……. because
……….”. In consequence, 24 metaphors created by 58 students were divided into
four different categories – namely, (i) social development, (ii) physical
development, (iii) psychological development, and (iv) mental development. The
majority of the students (98.28%) were found to have created positive metaphors
for the course while only 1.72% of them were found to have created negative
metaphors.
