EXAMINATION OF THE FACULTY OF SPORTS SCIENCES STUDENTS' ATTITUDES TO SPORTS

Abstract

This study is aimed to examine the attitudes of the students studying in the Faculties of Sport Sciences, which do not take aptitude tests in recent years, but only accept students with the Higher Education Institutions Exam AYT (Field Proficiency Test). The sample of the study consists of 189 students selected by the convenience sampling method. As a data collection tool in the research; The "Attitude Scale of University Students Towards Sports" developed by Koçak (2014) and the "Personal Information Form" created by the researcher was used. The analysis of the obtained data was made with the SPSS 24 package program and the statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05 in all evaluations. A significant difference was found between the <0,05 in all evaluations. A significant difference was found between the students' attitudes towards sports and the gender variable in psychosocial and physical development sub-dimensions. No significant difference was found between the sub-dimensions of the attitude scale and the social media variables where the department of education and sports news are followed. A significant difference was found between the sub-dimensions of the attitude scale and the weekly exercise time in the sub-dimensions of psychosocial, physical and mental development. Although students choose the Faculty of Sport Sciences only according to the results of OSYM and are not subjected to any aptitude test, it can be said that their sports attitude scores are high.
