Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes of high school students participating in recreational sports programs offered by local governments towards extracurricular sports activities, and to determine whether these attitudes differ according to selected sociodemographic variables. A total of 492 high school students (236 female, 256 male) who voluntarily participated in recreational sports activities offered by the local government in Konya during the 2022–2023 academic year were included in the cross-sectional survey study. Data were collected using a personal information form and the Student Attitudes Towards Extracurricular Sports Activities Scale, consisting of 18 items and three sub-dimensions: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the current sample were calculated as .804 for the cognitive dimension, .906 for the affective dimension, and .784 for the behavioral dimension. Due to the non-normal distribution of the data, the Mann–Whitney U test was used for two-group comparisons and the Kruskal–Wallis H test was used for comparisons of more than two groups. The cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitude scores of the students were determined as 28.44±5.24, 13.44±6.29, and 14.39±3.71, respectively. A significant difference was found only in affective attitude in favor of male students (Z = −2.880, p = .004). A significant difference was also found only in the affective dimension in terms of age (Z = −3.972, p < .001), and it was observed that the rank averages of students aged 16 and over were higher. While affective attitude differed significantly according to class level (χ²(3) = 15.716, p = .001), no significant differences were found in any sub-dimension according to weekly leisure time and mother and father's education level. Significant differences were found in cognitive (χ²(3) = 8.438, p = .038) and affective (χ²(3) = 8.256, p = .041) attitudes according to family income. The results show that sociodemographic differences in young people's attitudes towards recreational sports are concentrated especially in the affective component. It is recommended that local governments focus on creating positive, inclusive and socioeconomically equitable experiences in recreational sports programs for young people, as well as physical accessibility.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, yerel yönetimler tarafından sunulan rekreatif spor programlarına katılan lise öğrencilerinin ders dışı sportif etkinliklere yönelik bilişsel, duyuşsal ve davranışsal tutumlarını incelemek ve bu tutumların seçilmiş sosyodemografik değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını belirlemektir. Kesitsel tarama modelindeki araştırmaya, 2022–2023 eğitim-öğretim yılında Konya'da yerel yönetim tarafından sunulan rekreatif spor etkinliklerine katılan toplam 492 lise öğrencisi (236 kadın, 256 erkek) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu ile 18 maddeden ve bilişsel, duyuşsal ve davranışsal olmak üzere üç alt boyuttan oluşan Ders Dışı Sportif Etkinliklere Yönelik Öğrenci Tutum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Mevcut örneklemde Cronbach alfa katsayıları bilişsel boyut için .804, duyuşsal boyut için .906 ve davranışsal boyut için .784 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılım göstermemesi nedeniyle iki gruplu karşılaştırmalarda Mann–Whitney U, ikiden fazla gruplu karşılaştırmalarda Kruskal–Wallis H testi kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin bilişsel, duyuşsal ve davranışsal tutum puanları sırasıyla 28.44±5.24, 13.44±6.29 ve 14.39±3.71 olarak belirlenmiştir. Cinsiyete göre yalnızca duyuşsal tutumda erkek öğrenciler lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur (Z = −2.880, p = .004). Yaş açısından da yalnızca duyuşsal boyutta anlamlı farklılık belirlenmiş (Z = −3.972, p < .001) ve 16 yaş ve üzerindeki öğrencilerin sıra ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Sınıf düzeyine göre duyuşsal tutum anlamlı biçimde farklılaşırken (χ²(3) = 15.716, p = .001), haftalık boş zaman ile anne ve baba eğitim düzeyine göre hiçbir alt boyutta anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır. Aile gelirine göre bilişsel (χ²(3) = 8.438, p = .038) ve duyuşsal (χ²(3) = 8.256, p = .041) tutumlarda anlamlı farklılıklar belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, gençlerin rekreatif spora yönelik tutumlarındaki sosyodemografik farklılıkların özellikle duyuşsal bileşende yoğunlaştığını göstermektedir. Yerel yönetimlerin gençlere yönelik rekreatif spor programlarında fiziksel erişilebilirliğin yanı sıra olumlu, kapsayıcı ve sosyoekonomik açıdan eşitlikçi deneyimler oluşturmaya odaklanmaları önerilmektedir.
