Perception- Attention - Memory Reaction Time of PE Teacher and Computer Teacher Candidates

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the visual and auditory reaction time, perception, attention and memory levels of PE teacher candidates and computer teacher candidates.For this purpose, after giving necessary information to the teacher candidates of the Department of Physical Education and Sports and the candidates of Computer Teaching Department of Kocaeli University, 88 voluntary students, were applied Benton Perception, Attention-Memory test and Newtest 1000 which determined their visual and auditory reaction time. Data was analyzed by using SPSS 21.00 software. The Man Whitney U test was used for the comparison of the paired groups since the data in the normality analysis did not follow a normal distribution. As a result, it was found that computer teacher candidates had higher levels of attention-perception and memory scores than those of PE teacher candidates. PE teacher candidates were found to be faster to perceive auditory stimulus and give reactions.

The Comparison of Mental Rotation Performances and Academic Achievements in Students of the Faculty of Sport Sciences and Education Sciences

“…Our object 144 partici height, bod 21.89 ± 4.5 Karagün (2018) examined the MR performances of students studying computer and physical education teaching, he found a statistically significant difference in favor of students studying computer teaching. Jansen et al (2009) found that there was an increase in MR performance of sedentaries exercising at least 3 days a week for 45 minutes per day.…”
