Student's Preferences Regarding Coed Versus Non-Coed Physical Education Classes

Bu çalışmanın amacı ilköğretim öğrencilerinin (6., 7., 8 sınıf) karma ve farklı cinsiyet grupları ile işlenen beden eğitimi derslerine karşı tutumlarını belirlemektir. Çalışmaya Ankara ili genelinde bulunun devlet ve özel ilköğretim okullarda okuyan 530 öğrencisi katılmıştır. Veriler, ilköğretim öğrencilerinin karma ve farklı cinsiyet grupları ile işlenen beden eğitim derslerine karşı tutumlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla araştırmacılar (Treanor, Graber, Housner, & Wiegand, 1998) tarafından geliştirilen bir anket yardımı ile toplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre öğrencilerin büyük bir çoğunluğunun beden eğitimi dersinden hoşlandıkları, derslerde ellerinden gelen çabayı gösterdikleri, kurallara uydukları ve aynı /amanda iyi davranışlar sergiledikleri belirlenmiştir. Kız ve erkek öğrencilerin spor becerileri, güç, dayanıklılık, esneklik ve kilo ile ilgili belirttikleri görüşler farklılık göstermiştir. Erkek öğrenciler kendilerini daha becerikli, güçlü ve dayanıklı görürken; kız öğrenciler kendilerini daha hassas, kırılgan ve daha az becerikli olarak tanımlamaktadırlar. Benzer şekilde ilköğretim öğrencilerinin karma ve farklı cinsiyet grupları ile işlenen beden eğitimi dersine karşı olan tutumları da bazı etkenlere bağlı olarak değişiklik göstermiştir. Konunun karmaşıklığı ve önemi açısından çeşitli nitel ve nicel destekliyici çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.

Öğrencilerin Karma ve Karma Olmayan Beden Eğitimi Dersine Karşı Tercihleri

The purpose of this study was to determine primary school students' (6m, 7m, 8tn grades) perceptions of coed versus non-coed physical education classes. The sample consisted of 530 primary school students from both public and private schools in Ankara. The data was collected by using a questionnaire which was developed by researchers (Treanor, Graber, Housner, & Wiegand, 1998) to measure the primary school students' perceptions of coeducational and same-sex physical education classes. Most of the students stated that they like physical education classes, try hard, follow rules, and also behave well in physical education lessons. The responses related to their skills, strength, endurance, flexibility levels, and weight were varied among students. Boys rated themselves as having high levels of skill, strength and endurance; whereas girls were rated as being more sensitive, fragile, and less skilled. Similarly, students preferred coed physical education classes in some situations and preferred same sex physical education classes in other situations. It is suggested that additional research is needed for this area because of the obvious complexity and importance of the issue.
