Menzure Sibel Yaman’s research while affiliated with Gazi University and other places

This study was conducted in order to compare and determine the differences between the syllabuses, class hours, subject topics, contents and acquirements of Physical Education and Sports Lessons in primary, middle and high schools in Turkey and Kosovo. This is an international comparative education study in which the aim is to reveal the similarities and differences through the use of the descriptive and evaluative approach, which is generally used in comparative education studies. In the end of the examination, the programs related to Physical Education and Sports in Turkey were observed to be more extensive, multi optional and flexible, while in the case of activities, they were found to be more uncertain. The programs in Kosovo however, were noted as being open, orderly, clear and with a low amount of flexibility. While in the content in Turkey, attainments towards the cognitive and affective fields took a bigger part, it can be said that kinetically attainments are denser in Kosovo. Another fact is that the class hours of Physical Education and Sports are comparatively less than that of other courses. As a result; the fact that the program in Turkey includes more options and is more flexible provides advantages in generating solutions in regards to physical opportunities and material use, the inefficacy of class hours appears to be a disadvantage. On the other hand, kinetically attainments are limited due to the physical opportunities not being the same in all of the schools. In order to increase the mobility and applications of the courses in Turkey by paying attention to these specifications, prioritizing the physical opportunities for physical education and doing physical exercise, and increasing the amount of class hours can be suggested.

In healthy societies, physical education and sport activities carry important roles in raising individuals.

The population of this study consisted of 2500 students, studying in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades of the middle-school. Two middle schools from the schools within the Sakarya province were selected through a random selection method. The survey was applied to a total amount of 400 volunteer students that were selected as the sample group and studied in these schools. The SPSS 15.0 for Windows software was used for the data analysis. Frequency analysis was used in order to determine the quantity and percentage distributions of the demographic information of the participants. On the other hand, chi-square analysis was used for the comparison of the problems and expectations related to family and school life in regards to the demographic variables.

The aim of this study is to determine the future expectations of amateur and professional footballers after their active football life. The amateur and professional football teams which participated the study were chosen randomly. 425 out of 644 questionnaires were completed willingly by the footballers. As well as demographic features of footballers such as marital status, age, football age, yearly income gained through football and education, future expectations of the footballers were determined through a questionnaire called ‘Questionnaire for Future Expectations’ developed by the researcher. To analyze the data, some tests such as independent -samples, T test and one-way ANOVA were applied. In the findings part, arithmetic mean, frequency, percentage and standard deviation were given in tables. For 26 questions out of 32, a significant different was found according to whether they are amateur or professional. While it is statistically meaningful for 19 questions out of those 26 questions for amateur footballers, it is not the same for seven professional ones. When the means of the answers of the footballers participated the study were analyzed, the lowest mean was found for being a physiotherapist, working in the local and national mass and printed media. The highest mean was found similarly related to being a trainer and bringing skilled footballers by being a trainer in the youth set up. Some suggestions are presented in the light of the study.
