The first section consists of 12 items about personal information and the second section consists of 20 items with the type of 5 point likert scale about the attitudes related to Course of Physical Education. Firstly, the frequency distribution of the data was measured within descriptive statistics and crosstab values were examined.

For the paired comparison in independent samples, t-test and one-way analysis of variance-ANOVA were carried out.
