THE EFFECT OF 12-WEEK FOOTBALL TRAINING ON DEVELOPMENT OF LINGUISTIC AND LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL INTELLIGENCE OF CHILDREN GROUPS 8-10 YEARS OLD
Abstract
In this research, it has been analysed whether 12-week football training has had affect on level development of Multiple Intelligence Fields of Linguistic and Logical-Mathematical Intelligence of children of 8-10 year- old group. The study was conducted on the students of Elementary School between 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 academic years. Control group was created from 2389 male students participated in the study who collected from 3rd and 4th grades in 13 schools in 6 counties of Ankara. The experimental group was created form 1060 male students who play in the summer football programs in Ankara Sports Club and Gençlerbirliği Sports Club. To collect some information about students and their families, “Personal Information Forms” and to determine the multiple intelligence distribution and level of students “Evaluation Inventory for Elementary School Students to Evaluate Themselves in Multiple Intelligence Fields” were filled by the students. On the students of control and experiment groups, a preliminary test was performed before the studies, a final test was performed at the end of the 12- week study and a test was performed a week after the last test for determining the persistence of the effect of the training. Based on the collected data, the current Level of Linguistic and Logical-Mathematical Intelligence Fields and the changes that have come into being after a three months process and the persistence of changes were compared. Each change that came into being in Linguistic and Logical-Mathematical Intelligence Field was analysed by examining the persistence of the changes and comparing the values of experimental and control groups. One-Way ANOVA for Repeated Measures analysis method was applied for analysing the relationship between the results obtained from preliminary test, final test and the test for determining the persistence of the change in the students of experimental and control groups for each kind of intelligence. Two-Way ANOVA for Mixed Measures analysis method was applied for evaluation the changes the students in the experimental and control groups went through in each intelligence, in comparison. It has been found at the end of the study that 12- week football training given to student had effect on the Linguistic and Logical-Mathematical Intelligence Fields; when the achievement grades of controlling group students and experimental groups students were compared it is seen that the football training has positive effect on the development of Linguistic and Logical-Mathematical Intelligence Fields of students in their natural development process and that the change was persistent.
