Investigation of the relationship between body perception and body mass ındex of physical education and sports teachers and other branch teachers
Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between body perception and body mass index of physical education and sports teachers and other branch teachers. The population of the study consists of teachers working in schools affiliated to Antalya Provincial Directorate of National Education. The sample group consists of teachers working in Muratpaşa district in the 2023-2024 academic year. The sampling group was determined by simple random sampling method. The Body Perception scale, which was developed by Secord and Jourand in 1953 and whose Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Hovardaoğlu in 1993, was used as the measurement tool. After the data obtained met the normality assumptions, independent sample test (T-test), one-way analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA), correlation (Pearson) and Tukey test from Post Hoc tests were applied. As a result of the analyses, no significant difference was found according to marital status and region of residence; however, significant differences were found in the variables of doing regular sports, teaching branch and gender. In line with these results, it is thought that physical education teachers have a great role in raising awareness about physical activity and exercise and increasing their participation in sports in order to increase the physical self-perception of teachers.
