Investigation of University Students' Perceived Physical Literacy According to Selected Demographic Variables

Abstract

Lifelong participation in regular physical activity can be increased and sustained by achieving an adequate level of physical literacy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived physical literacy levels of students enrolled in a sports science faculty. A total of 268 volunteer students, comprising 90 females and 178 males studying at the XYZ University Sports Science Faculty, were included in the study. "Perceived Physical Literacy Scale" (PPLS) was used to determine the physical literacy levels of the participants. The data were analysed with descriptive statistics, t-test and anova tests. It was concluded that there was no significant difference between the perceived physical literacy levels of the participants according to the variables of gender, being a licensed athlete and the region where the family lived. However, depending on the program of study and perceived economic situation, significant differences favouring coach education department students and students with monthly incomes higher than their expenses were identified in the PPLS communication sub-dimension (p<.05). The study found that students in the Faculty of Sports Sciences have a high level of physical literacy. To enhance the concept of media literacy, there is a need for qualitative and quantitative studies conducted with various age groups.
