Investigation of Perceptions Concerning Leadership Roles of Physical Education and Sport Teachers

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the perceptions of physical education and sport teachers who work in the city Bayburt concerning teacher leadership roles in terms of various variables. The population of the study consists of 42 physical education and sport teachers who work in the city Bayburt. Sampling has not been used as the whole population is included. The chapter in which the perceptions of teachers have been evaluated is used from The Scale of Perception and Expectation Identification Concerning Teacher Leadership which was developed by Beycioğlu (2009) to identify the perceptions of physical education and sport teachers concerning teacher leadership. According to the test of analysis of independent sample t-test, it is identified that female teachers have higher averages than male teachers at institutional development subscale and scale total point. Furthermore, it is found that physical education and sport teachers who have a less than 10 years experience have higher averages compared to those who have a more than 10 years experience at institutional development, professional development, collaboration among colleagues’ subscales and scale total point (p < .05). As a result, it can be stated that physical education and sport teachers who have a less than 10 years experience take part more in performing studies that are based on collaboration, creating an impact on the students and colleagues with model behavior and performing executive activities as compared to teachers who have 10 years and more experience.

Examination of Leadership Orientations of Physical Education Teachers

“…When the literature is examined, there are studies conducted using leadership scales that measure different characteristics of physical education teachers' leadership (Akıncı and Kubilay, 2020;Ayten, 2019;Castillo et al, 2017;Çelik and Tamer, 2018;Çiçek, 2014;Güllü and Arslan, 2009;Gürses, 2015;Kocaekşi et al, 2015;Öktem and Kul, 2020;Sucan et al, 2016;Şirin et al, 2018;Turan et al, 2020;Uğur and Çolakoğlu, 2019;Üşenmez, 2004). Along with these studies, there are also studies using the "Leadership Orientation Inventory", the "Leader Behavior Descriptive Questionnaire" and the "Leadership Orientation Scale", which consist of similar dimensions to the sub-dimensions of the Multidimensional Leadership Orientation Scale (MLOS) (Can, 2002;Çelikdağ, 2018;Dinçer, 2012;Katkat et al, 2005;Öz, 2018;Üstün, 2004).…”
