This study investigates how physical education (PE) teachers make sense of peer bullying, which types of behaviors they associate with peer bullying, their opinions about these behaviors, and methods for preventing bullying. The study group consisted of 18 PE teachers. The interview technique was used as a qualitative research method in the study. The data obtained after one-on-one interviews were analyzed through content analysis. According to the data obtained, PE teachers are the most important variable in the decrease or increase of peer bullying in classes. However, PE classes provide a suitable environment for the emergence of peer bullying. Additionally, bullying caused by the individual characteristics of students and environmental reasons can increase in schools, and there are generally no collective intervention programs within schools to prevent it. According to the teachers’ opinions, some of the important results are that students who are exposed to bullying experience the same fear every week in PE lessons, and although it is known that the majority of them do not want to participate in the activity in order to avoid being bullied, no solution can be found.

Background and Study Aim. Health literacy is the ability to access health information, understand, evaluate and apply health information. The health literacy of athletes may be determinant in the understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic process and in the level of the impact of this health-related anxiety factor. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine whether there is a relationship between college athletes' COVID-19 anxiety levels and their health literacy levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods. College athletes between the ages of 18 and 32 participated in the study and the average age was 24.2. A total of 234 elite collage athletes participated in the study. 133 of the participants were males and 101 were females. COVID-19 Anxiety Scale was used to determine the COVID-19 anxiety states and Health Literacy index was used to the level of health literacy of the participants in the COVID-19 pandemic process. Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis were performed for statistical analyses. Significance level in analysis has been accepted as p. < 05. Results. Our findings revealed that there were significant relationships between elite athletes' health literacy sub-dimension scores and COVID-anxiety level. In addition, it was determined that access to information and understanding information sub-dimensions from health literacy sub-dimensions predicted elite college athletes’ the COVID-19 anxiety level at 21.2%. As a result, elite college athletes had low levels of anxiety against COVID-19, and this situation associated with their high level of health literacy. Conclusions. The increase of elite college athletes' the level of health literacy will decrease their anxiety levels. It will be beneficial to implement training programs that can increase their health literacy levels in order to reduce the impact of the unexpected health crisis due to COVID-19, especially the anxiety levels of college athletes.

Bu araştırmanın amacı beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenliği bölümlerinin yeterliliği hakkında öğretmen görüşlerini incelemektir. Araştırmada karma yöntemlerden yakınsayan paralel desen kullanılmıştır. Nitel araştırma grubunu, 20 beden eğitimi öğretmeni oluştururken nicel araştırma grubunu 283 beden eğitimi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, "yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu" ve "Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Öğretmenliği Bölümlerinin Yeterliliği Ölçeği (BESÖBYÖ)" kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda beden eğitimi öğretmenleri mezun oldukları lisans programlarının Milli Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı okulların imkân ve şartlarına uygun nitelikte beden eğitimi öğretmeni yetiştirmediklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Ayrıca lisans derslerini yürüten öğretim elemanlarının yeterli sayıda olmadıkları ve bazı derslerde nitelik bakımından yetersiz kaldıklarını ileri sürmüşlerdir. Beden eğitimi öğretmenleri beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenliği bölümlerinin tesis ve sosyal imkânlar açısından problemlerin olduğunu belirtmişlerdir.

Bu araştırmada ortaöğrenimde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin beden eğitimi ve spor dersi memnuniyet düzeylerini belirleyen geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracının geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya Siirt Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı okullarda öğrenim gören % 53,9'u (n=261) erkek, % 46,1'i ( 223) kız öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 482 öğrenci katılmıştır. Ölçme aracı geliştirilirken 34 maddelik bir havuz oluşturulmuştur. Ölçek formu daha sonra açımlayıcı faktör analizi uygulanmış ve ölçek formundan gerekli koşulları sağlamayan 12 madde çıkarılmıştır. AFA sonucunda "Öğretmen Memnuniyeti", "Tesis ve Spor Malzemesi Memnuniyeti" ve " Ders Memnuniyeti" olarak 3 boyutlu ve 22 maddeden bir yapı oluşmuştur. "Öğretmen memnuniyeti" boyutunun açıkladığı varyans oranı % 38,013, "Tesis ve Spor Malzemesi Memnuniyeti" boyutunun açıkladığı varyans oranı % 10,821 ve son olarak "Ders İçerik memnuniyeti" boyutunun açıkladığı varyans oranı ise % 6.449 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu yapının sınanması için yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda 3 boyutlu ölçek formunun kabul edilebilir değerleri taşıdığı tespit edilmiştir. Beden eğitimi dersi memnuniyet ölçeğinin "Öğretmen memnuniyeti" boyutunda cronbach alpha değeri 0,921, "Tesis ve spor malzemesi" boyutunda 0,892 ve son olarak "Ders memnuniyeti" boyutunda 0,919 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. "Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Dersi Memnuniyet Ölçeğinin" geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Aim : The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between students' attitudes towards physical education course and belonging to school. Material and Methods: Research group comprised of 589 (51.5%) males and 555 (48.5%) female students in secondary schools of Malatya province. 250 (21.9%) of the students were 5th grade, 219 (19.1%) were 6th grade, 387 (33.8%) were 7th grade and 288 (25%) 2) 8th grade students. School Belonging Scale and Attitude scale to Physical Education course were used as a quantitative data collection tool. Pearson correlation test, simple and multiple regression analyses were used to statistical analysis. Significance level was accepted as p<.05. Results: It was found that there were significant positive correlations in the all sub-domains of attitude and school belonging dimensions to physical education course (p < .05). Regression analyses revealed that the attitudes of students to physical education course predicted school belonging by 11% and students' attitudes towards physical education course predicted school belonging by 10% (p < . 05). Conclusion: As a result, students' attitudes towards physical education course increase, their belonging to school increases. In order to increase students' attitudes towards physical education course, it is possible to plan the content and structure of the course in a more fun way.
