A Survey on Physical Education and Sport Department Students’ Opinion about Cooperative Learning Method

The aim of the study is to find out the opinion of the students who had taken two different courses as theoretical and applied courses about this learning strategy with the help of cooperative learning method and to match the opinion of students who are studying theoretical and applied courses with each other. Totally, 55 students, 25 of which are the ones who studied applied “Basic Gymnasium” in the curriculum of Physical Education and Sports Academy of Education Faculty in the academic year of 2009-2010, and, 30 of which are the ones who studied theoretical “Physical Education and Fundamentals of Sports” at the same department in the academic year of 2010-2011, constitute the sample group of cooperative learning method that was applied. At the end of courses, student opinion scale that was developed by the researchers in order to detect the interests of students about the related method was applied to the students. In order to find out the opinion of the students about the method, their answers to the questions were evaluated statistically and percentage distributions were given comparatively as a result of the applications that have been done. According to the data that was gathered, the application of cooperative learning method in physical and sports department was confronted positively. The study has revealed that the students to whom cooperative learning method was applied in applied courses had more positive thoughts than the students to whom cooperative learning method was applied in theoretical courses.

THE ANALYSIS OF RELATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT VARIABLES AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ MOTIVES FOR PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS

The object of this study is to determine the motives of university students who participate in physical activities during college education and examine whether the data differ according to educational background, sex and family support. A total of 100 students from the department of physical education and sports teaching participated in the study. As a data collection tool in the work, "Participation in Sport Motivation Scale", Gill et al. (1983), translated into Turkish by Çelebi (1991) and published by Oyar et al. (2001) have been used for validity and reliability between the studies in the age of 11-17 (6,13). In the study, reliability was checked again for this group and reliability coefficient was 0.86 in Cronbach Alpha internal consistency test. The most important motive for participation in sports for university students in the study has been found to be "skill development" and "movement/activity". In the consequences related with the motives of individuals for participation in sports, because the average for each sub-dimension is high, differences within these averages can be a determining factor in the preparation of the activities, plans and programs to be carried out and more and willing participation of the individuals in their physical activity.  Article visualizations

An Investigation of the Relationship Between Leadership Styles of Physical Education and Sports Academy Students and Different Variables (The Case of Ordu University)

This study investigated the relationship between gender, major and class level of students and their views on leadership styles. The study was carried out on students of Physical Education and Sports Academy (PESA) of Ordu University, between 2015 and 2016. PESA graduates work for schools, sports clubs and in different areas of sports as teachers, coaches, managers and sports writers. They exhibit various features of leadership in order to enable students, athletes or other individuals engaging in sports to achieve set goals and teach them to develop necessary behavioral patterns to sustain their success.The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between gender, major and class level of PESA students and their views on leadership styles. The study was carried out with a total of 251 participants; 116 (46.2%) women and 125 (53.8%) men. The Leadership Style test scale developed by Frew et al. (1977) and adapted to Turkish by Konter (1996) was used to assess this relationship. Data were analyzed using the SPSS, version 20. Frequency distributions were used to determine the demographic characteristics of the students. A chi-square analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the independent variables and leadership styles. The results indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between students’ gender and class levels and their views on leadership styles.The results show that there is a statistically significant relationship between students’ majors and their views on leadership styles. Management students show features of moderately democratic leadership and features of very democratic leadership while teaching students do not. Another noteworthy finding is that students mainly display mixed features of leadership. It is suggested that courses on leadership be included in the curriculum of physical education and sports departments. Seminars, panels, congresses, etc. should be held to inform students on leadership and, moreover, they should be encouraged to participate in scientific studies.This study was orally presented at the 9th International Education Research Congress held at Ordu University between 11 and 14 May, 2017.
