Coaching Education Students’ Specialized Content Knowledge Level: The Effect of a Basketball Course

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the specialized content knowledge levels of coaching education students who have just completed the basketball course. There were 18 female and 20 male, totally 38 first year coaching education students voluntarily accepted to attend. One group pre-test-post-test weak experimental research design was applied. Content maps were used for data collection tool. The formula suggested by literature was preferred to measure the specialized content knowledge index score levels of the participants. Descriptive statistics and dependent sample t-test were used for statistical calculations. Pre-test findings indicated that the participants did not have basketball specialized content knowledge before the course. Posttest results showed that participants had insufficient basketball specialized content knowledge level and it was below the expected value (3.0 or over). As a conclusion, coaching education students did not have sufficient basketball specialized content knowledge level even they completed basketball course.

Antrenörlük Eğitimi Bölümü Öğrencilerinin Özelleşmiş Alan Bilgisi Düzeyleri: Bir Basketbol Dersinin Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı basketbol dersini yeni tamamlamış antrenörlük eğitimi öğrencilerinin özelleşmiş alan bilgi düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya Türkiye’deki bir devlet üniversitesi spor bilimleri fakültesinde öğrenim gören 18 kadın ve 20 erkek, toplam 38 birinci sınıf antrenörlük eğitimi bölümü öğrencisi katılmıştır. Çalışmamızda deneysel araştırma türlerinden tek grup ön test-son test zayıf deneysel araştırma deseni uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak Ward ve arkadaşları (2017) tarafından geçerliği ve güvenirliği kanıtlanmış içerik haritaları kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların özelleşmiş alan bilgisi indeks skoru düzeylerini ölçmek için Ward ve arkadaşları (2017) önerilen formül tercih edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistik ve grubun ders öncesi ve sonrası gelişimini belirlemek için bağımlı örneklem t-testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın basketbol ön test bulgularına göre katılımcıların ders öncesi basketbol ÖAB’ne sahip olmadıkları belirlenmiştir. Son test özelleşmiş alan bilgisi bulgularına göre katılımcıların ortalaması (X̄= .25, SS=.18) beklenen değerin (3.0 ve üzeri) oldukça altında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgu, Dünya ve Türkiye alan yazınlarındaki bulgularla paralellik göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, araştırmamıza katılan antrenörlük eğitimi bölümü öğrencilerinin basketbol ÖAB düzeyleri yeterli bulunmamıştır. Gelecek çalışmalarda antrenörlük eğitimi bölümü öğrencilerinin fiziksel aktivite ve spor derslerinde alan bilgisinin alt boyutlarını geliştirecek öğretim tasarımı uygulamalarına gereksinim olduğu düşünülmektedir.
