Pearson Correlation test was used to determine the relationship between academic self-efficacy sub-dimensions and a significant relationship was found. As a result of the study, while there were no differences in terms of gender, age, university and department variables in academic self-efficacy subscales, a significant difference was found in the place where their families lived and class variables. When the results of the study were evaluated; it can be said that demographic variables are not an important factor in academic self-efficacy of the students

The Relationship of Shooting Skill with Functional Movement Performance and Attention Level of Basketball Players

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of shooting skill with the functional performances and attention levels of professional basketball players. Sixteen male basketball players (age = 20.6 ± 2.30) from university basketball team who were trained on regular basis participated in this study as volunteers. Participants' body height and body weight were measured and body mass indexes were calculated. D2 test of attention was utilized to determine the focus levels. Shooting skills were determined by shooting tests. Spearman Correlation Analysis was utilized to determine the correlation of shooting skill with functional movement performances and attention levels of participants. There was a moderate level of negative correlation (rho = -0.57; p<0.05) between the shooting skill scores and deep squat scores which is one of the functional movement performances. A moderate level of positive correlation (rho = 0.54; p<0.05) between TN-E (Total number of items processed-Total error score) scores and shooting skill scores were determined. Consequently, as the deep squat values of professional basketball players increases, the shooting skill decreases and with the increasing attention level, shooting skill increases

Beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinde mesleki tutum, iş doyumu ve mesleki tükenmişlik ilişkisi

Bu araştırma, beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin mesleki tutum, iş doyumu ve mesleki tükenmişlikleri arasındaki ilişkiyi tespit edebilmek için yapılmıştır. Tarama modelinde planlanan araştırmaya, 2021-2022 eğitim ve öğretim yılında MEB’e bağlı eğitim kurumlarında görev yapan 522 beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmeni katılmıştır. Araştırma verileri; Ünlü (2011)’nün geliştirdiği ve 23 maddeden meydana gelen Beden Eğitimi Öğretmenliği Mesleğine Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği, Gündüz (2009)’ün geliştirdiği ve 19 maddeden meydana gelen İş Doyumu Ölçeği, Maslach, Jackson ve Schwab (1981)’ın geliştirip İnce ve Şahin (2015)’in Türkçe uyarlamasını yaptığı ve 22 maddeden meydana gelen Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri ile toplanmıştır. Bu ölçme araçlarından elde edilen verilerin analizinde SPSS-25 istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda, beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin mesleki tutum ve iş doyumları arasında pozitif yönde; her iki değişkeninin mesleki tükenmişlik düzeyi ile de negatif yönde ilişkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, mesleki tutum, iş doyumu ve mesleki tükenmişliğin cinsiyet ve yaş grubuna göre anlamlı sonuç vermediği belirlenmiştir. Son olarak, mesleki tutum ve iş doyumunda refah durumu iyi olanların refah durumu orta olanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek puan aldığı belirlenirken mesleki tükenmişlikte refah durumuna göre anlamlı bir sonuç elde edilememiştir. Buradan hareketle, beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin refah durumunun yükseltilmesi gerektiği, buna bağlı olarak da mesleki tutum ile iş doyumunun da yükseleceği ve mesleki tükenmişliğin ise azalacağı sonucuna varılabilir.This research was carried out to determine the relationship between the professional attitude, job satisfaction and professional burnout of physical education and sports teachers. 522 physical education and sports teachers working in educational institutions affiliated to MEB in the 2021-2022 academic year participated in the research planned in the screening model. Research data; Developed by Ünlü (2011) and consisting of 23 items, the Attitude Scale towards the Physical Education Teaching Profession was developed by Gündüz (2009) and the Job Satisfaction Scale consisting of 19 items was developed by Ince and Şahin (2015) adapted into Turkish and consists of 22 items, the Maslach Burnout Inventory. SPSS-25 statistical program was used in the analysis of the data obtained from these measurement tools. At the end of the research, there was a positive correlation between the professional attitudes and job satisfaction of physical education and sports teachers; It was concluded that both variables were negatively related to the level of occupational burnout. In addition, it was determined that professional attitude, job satisfaction and professional burnout did not give significant results according to gender and age group. Finally, while it was determined that those with good welfare status in occupational attitude and job satisfaction scored significantly higher than those with moderate welfare status, no significant results could be obtained in occupational burnout according to welfare status. From this point of view, it can be concluded that the welfare of physical education and sports teachers should be increased, and accordingly, professional attitude and job satisfaction will increase and professional burnout will decrease

Bu çalışmada, 2012 Londra Olimpiyat Oyunları Bayanlar Voleybol Avrupa Kıta Elemeleri Final Etabı Müsabakaları nda mücadele eden 8 takımın (Türkiye, Polonya, Almanya, Rusya, Bulgaristan, Hollanda, Sırbistan Hırvatistan) başarısına etki eden fiziksel ve teknik değişkenlerin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Takımların Londra Olimpiyat Oyunları Bayanlar Voleybol Avrupa Kıta Elemeleri Final Etabı Müsabakaları nda oynadıkları 15 karşılaşmanın müsabaka analizi raporları, Türkiye Voleybol Federasyonu ndan (T.V.F.) alınmıştır. Takımların yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, hücum yüksekliği ve blok yüksekliği gibi değerleri Avrupa Voleybol Konfederasyonu nun (C.E.V.) resmi internet sitesinden elde edilmiştir. Yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, hücum ve blok yüksekliği değerleri Microsoft Excel programında ortalamaları alınarak grafik haline getirilmiştir. Data Volley 2007 Professional 3.4.0 programında, müsabaka anında elde edilen değerlerle oluşturulan müsabaka analiz raporlarındaki veriler kullanılarak her değişken için takımlara ait ortalamalar bulunmuştur. Bulunan bu ortalamaların SPSS 16 programında Spearman s rho testi uygulanarak başarı ve birbirleri ile olan ilişkilerine bakılmıştır. Araştırmada hata payı p<0,05 ve p<0,01 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Başarı ile ilişkisine bakılan 25 değişkenden; takımların break-point ortalamaları (r=-,929**) ile başarı arasında negatif yönde yüksek düzeyde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Bunun yanında, takımların servis sayı ortalamaları (r= ,810*), savunmadan çıkan topları sayıya çevirme (transation) oranları (r= ,810*) ve mükemmel servis karşılama oranları (r= ,881*) ile başarı arasında anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak takımların fiziksel özellikleri ile başarı arasında anlamlı herhangi bir ilişki olmadığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca mükemmel servis karşılamanın, break-pointin, servisten sayı kazanmanın ve savunmadan çıkan topları sayıya çevirmenin (transation) voleybolda müsabaka kazanmada doğrudan etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Değişkenlerin birbirleriyle olan anlamlı ilişkilerinin de müsabaka kazanmada doğrudan olmasa bile dolaylı olarak etkili diğer bir unsur olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.The aim of this study, was to examine the effect of physical and technical variables in The Final Stage Of The Women Volleyball Continental Qualifiying Matches for The 2012 London Olympic Games. The eight participating teams were Turkey, Poland, Germany, Russia, Bulgaria, Netherlands, Serbia, Croatia. The teams played 15 matches in The Final Stage Of European Women Volleyball Continental Qualifying Competition. The match analysis reports were evaluated by the Turkish Volleyball Federation (TVF). Data regarding of participants age, height, weight, spiking height and blocking height for the various teams were obtained from the official web site of The European Volleyball Confederation (CEV). All matches were analyzed using the Data Volley 2007 Professional 3.4.0 program to evaluate the values for each team for each skill. For each variable an average value was obtained from the data for all matches for each team and was analyzed and graphics produced using the Microsoft Excel program. Using the &#8223;Spearman&#8223;s rho&#8223;&#8223; test in the SPSS 16 program, the relationship between the physical and technical values as well as between the physical values and success were analyzed. Levels of significance were set at the p< 0.05 and p<0.01. Success in the matches was equated against the relationship between 25 variables; teams break-point averages (r =-,929 **) with a high level of meaningful relationship has been found between the negative direction of success. In addition, teams service point averages (r =,810 *), emphasising the balls transation rates (r =,810 *) and excellent service reception rates (r =,881 *) were seen to have a meaningful relationship. As a result, the physical properties of teams were shown to have no significant relationship on their success. It was also observed that excellent service reception, break-point and service point sucess as well as ball transations had a direct effect on victories in the competition. The significant relationship of variables with each other directly influenced success in the competition in some cases or appeared to have an indirect effect in another cases

Vocational Efficacy Of Volleyball Coaches

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki voleybol antrenörlerinin mesleki yeterliklerinin belirlenerek farklı değişkenler açısından değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma iki aşamada planlanmıştır. Birinci aşamada, voleybol antrenörlerinin mesleki yeterliklerini ölçebilecek psikometrik özelliklere sahip Voleybol Antrenörü Mesleki Yeterlik Ölçeği (VAMYÖ) geliştirilmiştir. İkinci aşamada ise bu ölçek voleybol antrenörlerine uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye'de son iki yarışma sezonu (2013-2014 ve 20142015) içerisinde 1.-2.-3.-4. ve 5. kademelerde, antrenörlük lisansını Türkiye Voleybol Federasyonuna (TVF) tescil ettirerek etkin olarak çalışan ve TVF de iletişim bilgileri olan 1013 voleybol antrenörü oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise 333 voleybol antrenörü oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada verilerin çözümlenmesinde betimsel istatistiksel yöntemlerden; frekans, yüzde dağılımları, ortalama ve standart sapma kullanılmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılım gösterdiğine karar verilerek iki bağımsız grup için t-Testi, ikiden fazla bağımsız grup için ise tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) kullanılmıştır. Tek yönlü varyans analizinde (ANOVA), ortaya çıkan gruplar arasındaki farkı bulmak amacıyla da LSD testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada hata payı =0.05 olarak alınmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, VAMYÖ'nün bütününe ve alt boyutlarına bakıldığında en düşük tutum puanının teknik öğretim yeterliği boyutunda en yüksek tutum puanının ise antrenör kişilik yeterliği boyutunda olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca voleybol antrenörlerinin mesleki yeterliklerinin, yaşa, cinsiyete, antrenörlük kademesine,antrenörlük deneyimine, antrenörlüğü meslek olarak yapıp yapmamaya, etkin olarak çalışıp çalışmamaya, takımdaki antrenörlük konumuna, oyunculuk deneyimine, üst düzey oyunculuk deneyimine ve milli takımlarda yer alıp almamayla doğrudan ilişkili olduğu ve buna göre şekillendiği tespit edilmiştirPurpose of this research is to determine the vocational efficacies of volleyball coaches and assessment of these with regards to different variables. Relational screening model has been used in this research. Research has been planned in two phases. First phase was developing the Vocational Efficacy Scale of Volleyball Coaches (VESVC) with psychometrical qualifications which can measure the vocational efficacies of the volleyball coaches. In second phase, the scale was implemented to the volleyball coaches. Total field under survey for this research was comprised of 1013 volleyball coaches whom provided its contact information to Turkish Volleyball Federation (TVF) and actively work in 1.-2.-3.-4. and 5. phases within two competition seasons (2013-2014 and 20142015) through registering their coaching license to Turkish Volleyball Federation (TVF). Samples of this research are comprised of 333 volleyball coaches. Frequency, percentage distributions, average and standard deviation have been used amongst descriptive statistical methods in order to analyze the data in this research. T-Test has been used for two independent groups since it is agreed that the data demonstrates a usual distribution and one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) has been used for more than two independent groups. LSD test has been implemented in order to detect the group that causes difference amongst the groups that has been detected to be different from One Way ANOVA. Margin of error of this research has been regarded as 0.05. In accordance with the findings of the research, when whole and sub dimensions of VESVC are examined, it is understood that, lowest attitude point belongs to technical teaching efficacy while highest attitude point belongs to coach personality efficacy. Furthermore, vocational efficacies of the volleyball trainers are determined and shaped in accordance with age, gender, level of coaching, coaching experience, considering coaching as a profession or not, actively working or not, position of coaching in the team, experience as a player, experience as an high rankings player and playing in national teams or no

The Relationship Between Sport, Self-Regulation and School Burnout in High School Students

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between sports and self-regulation and school burnout in high school students who are athletes and nonathletes. Relational screening method was used in the research. 387 high school students (188 athletes, 199 non-athletes) participated in the study. The average age of the participants was ± 15.9 years. The participating students were determined by the convenience sampling method. The data of the research were collected with the Personal Information Form, the Perceived Self-Regulation Scale and the School Burnout Scale. The data were analyzed by using the SPSS program, Independent Sample T-Test, One Way Anova Test, Tukey and Pearson Correlation tests. The significance level was accepted as p&lt;0.05 in the analyses. According to the results of this research, the school burnout levels of non-athlete students are higher than those of athlete students. There is no significant relationship between athletes and self-regulation. The school burnout levels of athlete students who workout for 1-4 months and 9-12 months during the year are higher than those who workout for 5-8 months. On the other hand, female students' self-regulation levels are higher than males. The self-regulation and school burnout levels of the participants did not show a significant difference depending on the age

Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the athlete burnout questionnaire

This study aimed to evaluate validity and reliability evidence of the Turkish version of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). The ABQ includes three 5-item subscales assessing emotional/physical exhaustion, reduced sense of accomplishment and sport devaluation. Participants were 429 athletes ranging from 13 to 29 years of age (M age =17.68, SD=3.81). Of the sample, 178 were female (M age =16.92, SD=3.61) and 251 were male (M age =23.23, SD=3.92). A separate sample of 208 athletes (35.1% basketball; 32.2% volleyball; 20.4% swimming; 12.3% tennis) completed the questionnaire a second time between 13 and 16 days after the initial application to evaluate test-retest reliability. Both Cronbach's Alpha coefficients and composite reliability values supported the scale's internal consistency. Overall, validity and reliability evidence was similar to findings stemming from the original ABQ. These findings suggest that scores derived from Turkish version of the ABQ provide a suitable tool for assessing athlete burnout
