Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türk çocuk oyunlarının psikosoyal gelişime katkısını aktif sporcular perspektifinden incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, tarama modeline dayalı nicel bir yöntem kullanılarak tasarlanmıştır. Örneklem büyüklüğü belirlenirken, Epiinfo yazılımı kullanılmış ve 1000 kişilik bir evrende %50 prevalans, %95 güven düzeyi, 1.5 desen etkisi ve %5 sapma dikkate alınarak 417 kişilik bir örneklem hesaplanmıştır. Nihayetinde, 434 katılımcıdan elde edilen anket verileri analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizi için SPSS 25.0 yazılımı kullanılmış, çevrimiçi olarak toplanan veriler öncelikle Excel formatında kaydedilerek SPSS programına aktarılmış ve olası kayıp veya aykırı veriler temizlenmiştir. Analiz öncesinde, verilerin normal dağılıma uygun olup olmadığı çarpıklık-basıklık (±1.5) değerleri dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin normal dağılım göstermediği belirlenmiş ve bu nedenle parametrik olmayan testler (Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney-U) tercih edilmiştir. Bulgular: Kruskal-Wallis testi sonuçları, katılımcıların spor branşlarına göre güdülenme, kullanışlılık ve öğrenme alt boyutlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklar bulunduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, aktif spor yılı değişkenine bağlı olarak da bu alt boyutlarda anlamlı farklar tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların tercih ettikleri çocuk oyunlarına göre de öğrenme boyutunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklar bulunmuştur (p=0.000). Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgular, geleneksel çocuk oyunlarının genç bireylerin psikosoyal gelişimi ve spor eğitimi üzerinde önemli bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir.

An Examination of the Contribution of Turkish Children's Games to Psychosocial Development from the Perspective of Active Athletes

Abstract

Objective: The primary aim of this study is to examine the contribution of Turkish children's games to psychosocial development from the perspective of active athletes. Materials and Methods: The research was designed using a quantitative method based on the survey model. The sample size was determined using EpiInfo software, considering a population of 1000 individuals, a 50% prevalence rate, a 95% confidence level, a 1.5 design effect, and a 5% margin of error, resulting in a calculated sample of 417 participants. Ultimately, data from 434 respondents were analyzed. SPSS 25.0 software was utilized for analyzing the scale forms used in the study. The online data collected were initially recorded in Excel format and subsequently transferred to SPSS for further processing, ensuring the removal of missing or outlier values. Prior to analysis, data distribution was assessed based on skewness-kurtosis values (±1.5) (Since the data did not exhibit normal distribution, non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U) were employed. Results: The Kruskal-Wallis test results indicated statistically significant differences in the sub-dimensions of motivation, usefulness, and learning based on participants' sports disciplines. Additionally, significant differences were observed in these sub-dimensions according to the variable of active sports years. Furthermore, participants' preferred children's games were found to have a statistically significant effect on the learning sub-dimension (p=0.000). Conclusion: The findings suggest that traditional children's games play a crucial role in the psychosocial development and sports education of young individuals.
