Abstract

It is known that students cannot reach the health-related outcomes in the current physical education and sports curriculum in Turkey at an adequate level. Based on this problem, the aim of this study is to examine the reasons why the students who stated that they could not reach the health outcomes in the programme could not reach the health outcomes from the perspective of the students within the framework of the Socio-Ecological Model. In this study, case study design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used and the sample group was reached by purposeful sampling method. Three different focus group interviews were conducted with 12 students and analysed using thematic analysis method. According to the findings, it was found that the students who could not achieve the 7th grade health outcomes in the Physical Education and Sports Course Programme 1) Individually, Students had little knowledge, desire and awareness about health; 2) Socially, they experience peer pressure and do not have family support; 3) Regarding the physical environment, it was concluded that the only environment where they can achieve health gains is school, but the infrastructure for participation in physical activity is inadequate at school; 4) In the context of political reasons, it was concluded that they could not find enough time to achieve health gains and their theoretical courses were too intense. In order for students to gain health outcomes, it is recommended to increase students' awareness about health and physical activity, increase peer and family support, improve the physical structure of schools and develop policies that students can participate in physical activity.

Özet

Türkiye’de mevcut beden eğitimi ve spor dersi öğretim programında yer alan sağlıkla ilişkili kazanımlara öğrencilerin yeterli düzeyde ulaşamadığı bilinmektedir. Bu sorundan hareketle çalışmanın amacı, programda yer alan sağlık kazanımlarına ulaşamadığını belirten öğrencilerin sağlık kazanımlarına neden ulaşamadıklarının Sosyo-Ekolojik Model çerçevesinde incelenmesidir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni kullanılmış, katılımcılar amaçlı örneklem yöntemlerinden olan ölçüt örnekleme tekniği ile belirlenmiştir. Belirlenen ölçütlere uyan 12 öğrenci ile üç farklı odak grup görüşmesi yapılmış ve tematik analiz yöntemi kullanılarak veriler analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Beden eğitimi ve spor dersi öğretim Programı’nda yer alan 7. sınıf sağlık kazanımlarını elde edemeyen öğrencilerin 1) Bireysel olarak sağlıkla ilgili bilgi, istek ve farkındalıklarının az olduğu; 2) Sosyal olarak akran baskısı gördükleri, aile desteğine sahip olmadıkları; 3) Fiziki çevreyle ilgili olarak sağlık kazanımlarını elde edebilecekleri tek ortamın okul olduğu ama okulda fiziksel aktiviteye katılım için altyapının yetersiz olduğu; 4) Politik nedenler bağlamında sağlık kazanımlarını elde etmek için yeterli zaman bulamadıkları ve teorik derslerinin çok yoğun olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Öğrencilerin sağlık kazanımlarını kazabilmeleri için öğrencilerin sağlık ve fiziksel aktivite ile ilgili farkındalıklarının artırılması, akran ve aile desteğinin artırılması, okulların fiziki yapısının iyileştirilmesi ve öğrencilerin fiziksel aktiviteye katılabilecekleri politikaların geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.
