Attitude is defined as a
mental, emotional and behavioral reaction pre-tendency that the individual
organizes against himself or any object, social issue or event around him based
on his experience, motivation and knowledge. It is known that students in
schools have a positive attitude especially towards physical education lessons.
However, this study was planned because we wondered how the attitudes of 8th
grade students who are preparing for the exam and who are in the transition to
adolescence towards physical education lesson. In this direction, the aim of
the study is to examine the attitudes of 8th grade students who will take the
TEOG exam about Physical Education and Sports lessons. By using convenience sampling method from sampling methods
which are not random, this research consists of 130 volunteers who are 8th
grade students from 3 secondary schools which are in Izmit Center because of
its accessibility in 2014-2015 academic years. After
the students are informed about the research; information questionnaire, Physical
Education and Sports Attitude Scale revised by Demirhan and Altay (2001). When
the data are analyzed in the SPSS 25.0 package program, since they conform to
the normal distribution; Among the parametric tests, independent groups t-test
for pairwise cluster comparisons, one-way Analysis of Variance for more than
two sets comparisons were used. After all; While there was no significant
difference in the variables of gender, age, participation in regular sports,
being licensed, doing sports in the family, place of residence, educational
status of the mother and father, and the status of being allowed to do sports
in the family, a significant difference was found in the variables of monthly
income and school success. As a result, it is thought that the high average of
families with high monthly income and families of this level encouraging their
children to send their children to a physical activity, even on weekends, may
be effective.
It was thought that the
students with high school success were discharged by turning to sports after
their intensive studies, which might have caused them to develop positive
attitudes towards physical education lessons.
