Investigation of Secondary School Students’ Predispositionto Physical Educationand Their Levels of Responsibility for Learning

Abstract

The study was carried out on a total of 260 secondary education students, 135 (51.9%) female and 125 (48.1%) male. As data collection tools in research, the "Personal Information Form", the "Physical Education Predisposition Scale" and the "Responsibility to Learn Scale" were used. Considering the relationship between students' predispositions to physical education and their level of responsibility for learning, it was found that there was a positive significant relationship between the responsibility and the attitude and self-efficacy. Following the regression analysis a positive relationship between the students' level of responsibility for learning and their attitude and self-efficacy was found. In this context, it can be stated that as the students' levels of responsibility for learning increase, their level of predisposition to physical education also increases. The equation for students' levels of responsibility for learning to predict their predisposition to physical education is significant.
