BACKGROUND: While literature includes a number of studies about burnout in teaching, investigations on teaching field-specific perspective remain limited. Research is needed to improve practical implications based on structured theoretical models and methodological basis that focusses on the unique environment of PE teaching field and causal factors behind burnout. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to examine burnout among physical education (PE) teachers based on the job demands-resources (J-DR) model. METHODS: A sequential explanatory mixed design was conducted in the study. 173 teachers replied to questionnaires, of which 14 teachers thereafter participated in semi-structured interviews. Demographic information form, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and J-DR scale for PE teachers were used, as well as an interview form. 173 teachers were first asked to report demographic information, and score Maslach Burnout Inventory and J-DR scale. Then a subsample group (n = 14) was identified/sampled for a semi-structured interview. Canonical correlation and constant comparative analysis were used to unpack the data. RESULTS: Teachers’ states of burnout varied, and physical, organisational, and socio-cultural resources were closely related with burnout levels. Demands that cause pressure on burnout were determined as paperwork and bureaucracy, student-related factors, and pandemic-related experiences. In addition to supporting the general model, specific J-DR factors for PE teaching were observed that is linked with burnout. CONCLUSION: J-DR factors that might lead to negative conditions in the teaching environment should be considered, and field-specific factors should be focused on through arrangements to increase teaching efficiency and improve the quality of PE teachers’ professional life.
The aim of the study was to adapt job demands and resources scale for Physical Education (PE) teachers into Turkish language. Two hundered and nineteen PE teachers participated in this study. In the scope of validity analyses of the scale, different techniques were used and expert opinion was obtained for the language content validity, while exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed for construct validity. Results of EFA showed that two main factors explained 34.91% of variance. CFA results revealed that the indices examined in terms of construct were at a good level with regards to data fit. In reliability analyses, internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.74 for the whole, 0.81 for job demands and 0.74 for job resources from the main factors. Results reveal that job demands-resources scale for PE teachers is reliable and valid for Turkish population. Keywords: Physical education teacher, job demands, job resources, validity, reliability.
The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between academic motivationand alienation of undergraduate students attending different departments in thefield of sports sciences. The 671 undergraduate students participating in the studywere receiving higher education in the field of sports sciences at Ege University,Faculty of Sports Sciences, in Izmir. The data for the study were collected throughtwo different measurement instruments, namely the Student Alienation Scale andthe Academic Motivation Scale. The results of the canonical correlation analysisshow significance in the first two canonical functions for the sample groups attendingthe Physical Education and Sports Teaching and Coaching Education departments,whereas the first three canonical functions were found to be significant for SportsManagement. In the evaluation of the canonical pairs obtained, it can be seen thatthe weakness and amotivation subscales stand out in the first function in all groups.Within the scope of the second function, while the “anomy” and “extrinsic motivation– external regulation” scales are notable in the sports management group, the“weakness” and “extrinsic motivation – introjected regulation” scales are prominentin the groups. As for the third canonical function, the “intrinsic motivation toaccomplish” and “isolation” scales underpin the relation for sports managementstudents. The internal dynamics caused by the differences among departmentsbased on their curricula may be the reason behind the differentiation within therelationship spiral. In addition, conditions of graduate employment and students’gains based on sporting experience affect academic motivation and alienation states.Keywords: alienation; athletes; education department; self-determination; sportseducation. - Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je odrediti korelaciju između akademske motivacije iotuđenosti studenata dodiplomskih studija na različitim odsjecima u područjusportskih znanosti. U istraživanju je sudjelovao 671 student na dodiplomskimstudijima sportskih znanosti na Fakultetu za sportske znanosti Ege Sveučilišta uIzmiru. Podatci korišteni u istraživanju dobiveni su pomoću dvaju različitih mjernihinstrumenata – Skale otuđenosti studenata i Skale akademske motivacije. Rezultatikanoničke korelacijske analize upućuju na značajnost prvih dviju kanoničkihfunkcija kod skupina uzoraka koje pohađaju studij na Odsjeku za izobrazbunastavnika Tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture i sporta i na Odsjeku za izobrazbutrenera, dok se pokazalo da su prve tri kanoničke funkcije značajne za studentena Odsjeku za sportski menadžment. Nakon provedene evaluacije dobivenihkanoničkih parova može se vidjeti da se u prvoj funkciji u svim skupinama ističupodskala „slabost” i podskala „amotivacija”. Unutar druge funkcije može se uočitida se u skupini koja studira sportski menadžment ističu skala „anomija” i skala„ekstrinzična motivacija – eksterna regulacija”, u ostalim skupinama ističu seskala „slabost” i skala „ekstrinzična motivacija – introjicirana regulacija”. Što setiče treće kanoničke funkcije, skala „intrinzična motivacija za postignućem” i skala„izoliranost” ističu se kod skupine studenata sportskoga menadžmenta. Internadinamika uzrokovana razlikama između odsjeka koje se temelje na kurikulimamogla bi se smatrati razlogom za diferencijaciju na spirali odnosa. Osim toga, naakademsku motivaciju i stanje otuđenosti utječu i uvjeti za zapošljavanje nakonzavršetka fakulteta i koristi koje studenti imaju od sportskih iskustava.Ključne riječi: obrazovni odsjek; obrazovanje u području sporta; otuđenost;samoodređenje; sportaši.
