Investigation of the
Relationship Between the Attitudes of Physical Education and Sports Teacher
Candidates towards E-Learning in Sports and Academic Success in the Distance
Education Process
ABSTRACT
The aim of this research is
to examine the relationship between the attitudes of university students
receiving sports education towards e-learning in sports and academic success.
The research group consisted of 227 (89 female, 138 male) volunteer students
studying at the School of Physical Education and Sports of Bitlis
Eren University with the hybrid (blended) learning method. As a data collection
tool The "Personal Information Form" and the
"Attitude Scale Towards E-Learning in Sports" form, which determines
students' attitudes towards e-learning, were used. Analysis of the data was
analyzed using SPSS statistical package program. Significance was accepted as
p<0.05. It has been determined that 37.9% of the participants of the
research group prefer e-learning, 32.6% face-to-face, and 29.5% prefer blended
learning. While it was determined that the majority of
the research group had good or very good e-learning success for theoretical
courses, the majority of the participants were determined to have low and
medium e-learning success for practical courses. In addition, it is seen that
52% of the participants prefer visual, 26.9% tactile and 21.1% auditory
learning. It was determined that there was no statistically significant
difference between the gender variable of the research group and the attitude
scale towards e-learning in sports (p>0.05). While it was determined that
there was a statistically significant difference between the students'
preferred learning method, theoretical and practical courses, and the
e-learning total score average in sports (p<0.05), the type of sports
practiced, the perceived income level and type of learning and the type of
learning in sports. It was determined that there was no statistically
significant difference between the e-learning total score averages (p>0.05).
In addition, according to the results of the correlation analysis; It has been
determined that there is a statistically significant low level positive
correlation between e-learning in sports and academic achievement. As a result; It has been seen that the hybrid teaching method
applied in the distance education process has a positive effect on the academic
achievement of the students.
