The relationship between the levels of physical education predisposition and motor skills of adolescent female students

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between the levels of predisposition to physical education lessons and motor skills in the case of adolescent girls and compare the levels of predisposition to physical education in terms of class variable. The study group consists of a total of 186 female students. The Physical Education Predisposition Scale has been used for determining the levels of students’ predisposition, while the motor skill tests have been conducted for measuring their motor skills. In analyzing the data, a t-test has been performed for the purpose of comparing the levels of predisposition to physical education in terms of class variable and a correlation analysis conducted for the purpose of identifying the relationship between the students’ predisposition towards physical education and their motor skills. It has been found based on the findings of such analyses that the students’ predisposition towards physical education decreased as they graduate to higher classes and that there is a relationship between their predisposition to physical education and motor skills. As a result, it has been concluded that the predisposing factor is an important factor that needs to be taken into consideration in terms of developing motor skills. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology
