The aim of this study was to examine the value orientation of secondary school students in Physical Education (PE) in terms of gender, age, doing regular sports, participating in school teams, and family income variables. In this research, the general scanning method was used. The study sample consisted of 419 volunteer students who studied at secondary schools in central Malatya, selected using a simple random sampling method. The Physical Education Course Student Value Orientation Scale was used for research purposes. In the research, frequency and percentage analysis, Variance analysis, and the Tukey test were used. As a result of the research, the PE value orientation of male students was higher than that of female students, the sportive virtue behavior of students was higher than that of the age group of 13 compared to that of the age group of 15, and students with low family incomes were more likely to act in solidarity than students with high incomes. The most remarkable result of the study is that students who doing regular sports and participating in school teams have higher PE lesson value orientations than other students. These results show that students can be developed some responsibility behaviors through PE.
