Background and Study Aim. To determine the perception of self-sufficiency and burnout levels of students studying in the faculty of sports sciences during the Covid-19 pandemic. Material and Methods. This cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study was performed in the Sports Science Faculty of İnönü University of Turkey which forms the universe of the study. In addition, "Perception of General self-sufficiency" and "Burnout Level Scale" were used in the study. T-test and One-Way ANOVA tests were used to perform the differential analysis and Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between variables. In addition, regression analysis was performed by creating dummy variables in order to predict the dimensions. Results. The students’ general self-sufficiency perception scores were found to be above average and their burnout levels were found to be below average. It was observed that the general self-sufficiency perception scores differed in terms of the class variable, and the burnout level scores differed in terms of class, family income level and studied department variables. In the correlation analysis that was carried out, it was understood that there was a mutually inverse and significant correlation between the dimensions of the scale. With the regression analysis, it was determined that the first-grade level scores were an independent significant predictor for both self-sufficiency and burnout scores, and the lowest income level scores were only an independent predictor for burnout level scores. Conclusions. It can be said that students at the faculty of sports sciences are not overly affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic and the results are as desired. It can be suggested that the perception of self-sufficiency and burnout scores to be correlated and predicted with different variables.

Bu araştırmada, öğrencilerin voleybola karşı tutumlarını ölçen bir ölçek geliştirme amaçlanmıştır. 30 ortaokul öğrencisine voleybol ile ilgili kompozisyon yazdırılarak betimsel analiz yapılmıştır. Öğrencilere kompozisyonlar yazdırılarak alan yazındaki kaynaklar taranmış ve 60 maddelik ölçek taslağı oluşturulmuştur. Ölçek taslağı alanında uzman 8 öğretim üyesine sunulmuştur. Ölçek taslağı uygulaması sonucunda toplam 528 (277'i kız ve 251'i erkek) öğrencinin eksiksiz ve hatasız bir şekilde doldurduğu ölçek formu bilgisayar programına yüklenmiştir. İlk olarak olumsuz sorular ters çevrilerek istatistik programına kaydedilmiştir. Kaydedilen verileri test etmek için Açıklayıcı ve Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (AFA ve DFA) yöntemleri uygulanmıştır. Açıklayıcı faktör analizi çerçevesinde başvurulan Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) puanı 0,96 ve Bartlett Test sonucu anlamlı (p<0,01) bulunmuştur. Analizde maddeler tek faktörde toplanmış ve faktör yük değeri 0,50 ve üzeri olan 18 madde seçilmiştir. Maddelerin faktör yüklerinin 0,54 ve 0,74 arasında değişim gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Tek faktörün, %44,97 oranında bir varyansı açıkladığı görülmüştür. Madde-toplam korelasyonunda, maddelerin 0,48 ile 0,69 arasında korelasyon katsayısına sahip oldukları görülmüştür. AFA neticesinde ölçekte bulunan 18 madde Lisrel 8.8 istatistik paket programına DFA yapmak amacıyla yüklenmiştir. DFA'ya yönelik uyum indekslerinin gerekli şartları sağladığı görülmüştür. Böylece, 16 maddesi bulunan ölçek, AFA ile DFA neticesinde geçerliliği karşılanmış bir ölçektir. Aynı şekilde, ölçeğin iç tutarlılığı (Cronbach Alfa) 0,92; yapı güvenirliliği 0,92; açıklanan varyansı 0,43 olan güvenilirliği karşılanmış bir ölçektir. Ortaokul öğrencilerine yönelik geliştirilen voleybol tutum ölçeği, geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçektir. Son hali ile ölçek olumlu 16 maddeden oluşmaktadır.

Background and Study Aim. In distance education, students’ attitudes towards this method gain importance in the process. The aim of this research is to examine the impact of coronavirus anxiety, academic self-sufficiency and life satisfaction levels of students in the faculty of sports sciences over their attitudes towards online learning. Material and Methods. A total of 379 sports science faculty students voluntarily participated for the cross-sectional data collection. A simple random sampling method was used in the selection of students from four universities in the Eastern Anatolian region, which make up the universe of the study. Data were collected electronically and analysed by IBM SPSS and AMOS statistical package program. Results. The structural equity model results revealed that academic self-sufficiency and life satisfaction are positive predictors of online learning attitudes and negative predictors of coronavirus anxiety. Online learning attitude was found to be positively correlated with other variables other than coronavirus anxiety. In addition, it has been determined that the scale total scores are slightly above average, except for coronavirus anxiety. Conclusions. The results have been discussed in terms of their meaning for the environment of physical education. In this research, which created a model for understanding online learning attitudes in students of the faculty of sports sciences, it was understood that coronavirus anxiety has a statistically significant effect on online learning attitudes while academic self-sufficiency and life satisfaction do not have a statistically significant effect. Students’ positive attitude towards online learning and understanding the predictors of this attitude will be a development to be appreciated by all stakeholders of the subject.
