The Relationship between Attitudes of Faculty of Sports Sciences Students towards Physical Activity and Their Physical Literacy Perceptions
Öz
This study examines the attitudes of sports sciences faculty students towards physical activity and their perceived physical literacy, while determining the relationship between these variables. It involved 179 undergraduate students (female n=78, M_age=21.71 ± 2.3; male n=101, M_age=21.67 ± 2.38) from foundation universities' Sports Sciences Faculties in Istanbul during the 2025-2026 academic year. Tools included the Personal Information Form, Attitude Scale Towards Physical Activity, and Perceived Physical Literacy Scale for Adolescents. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 24: independent samples t-test for pairwise comparisons, one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey for multiple comparisons (p < 0.05). Participants showed medium-high attitudes towards physical activity (M = 3.91, SD = 0.06) and high perceived physical literacy (M=4.41, SD = 0.03). Pearson correlation indicated a moderate, positive, significant relationship (r = 0.42, p < 0.01; R² = 0.176). By gender, women's “Equipment Use” attitudes were significantly higher than men's (p < 0.001; d = 0.63), while men's “Communication with Others and Self-Expression” perceptions were higher than women's (p = 0.014; d = 0.39). No differences emerged by sports history. Class level differences appeared in attitudes (F(3,175) = 2.777, p = 0.043, η² = 0.045), with 4th-year students scoring higher than 2nd-year (mean difference = 0.466, p = 0.029); no differences in physical literacy (p = 0.071). In conclusion, attitudes towards physical activity improve positively with advancing university education, whereas perceived physical literacy remains high and stable regardless of year. Findings align with literature, emphasizing the need for holistic programs in sports sciences curricula to support both attitudes and physical literacy.
