This research aims to examine the fair play behaviors of secondary school students who participate in school sports. The sample of the research consists of 495 secondary school students who continue their education in Nigde in the 2022-2023 academic year and are selected by criterion sampling from purposive sampling methods. "Frequency of Exhibiting Fair Play Behaviors Scale" was used as a data collection tool in the research. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and ANOVA tests were performed in the analysis of the data, and a significance level of 0.05 was taken into account in the interpretation of the data. According to the research findings, the students who participated in school sports exhibited fair play behavior at a frequent level in the spectator dimension; at a very frequent level in team, negative behavior, opponent dimension, throughout the scale. Fair play behaviors of female students were higher than male students (p<0.03). According to the grade level, the scores of the 5th-grade students were found to be significantly higher than the 7th-grade students (p<0.01). While the fair play behaviors of the students playing football in the spectator dimension of the scale were higher than the athletes interested in individual branches (p<0.00), no significant difference was found in other dimensions (p>0.05). In the variable of sports age, the fair play behaviors of the students who do sports for 1-3 years were found to be higher than the students who did sports for less than 1 year (p<0.00). As a result of the research, it has been determined that secondary school students participating in school sports exhibit fair play behaviors very often and develop more positive attitudes towards their team. It is recommended that secondary school students participate in events such as games, competitions, and tournaments within the scope of school sports.

This study aims to develop a standard scale by making the validity and reliability of the globalization survey developed for education faculties in the sample of sports sciences. A total of 878 people, including 81 academicians, 336 physical education and sports teachers, 118 trainers, and 343 sports sciences students, who were reached by a simple random method, participated in the study. The data was collected at 3 different times, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) in the first group (n = 426), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in the second group (n = 412), and test-retest analysis in the third group (n = 40) was performed. As a result of EFA, which was conducted to determine the construct validity, a structure consisting of 17 items and 3 factors was obtained, which explains 71.588% of the total variance. These factors are; teaching-learning processes are named as management and technology. The Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was calculated as .94. According to the CFA results (X[superscript2] / df: 2.63;; RMSEA: 0.06; PGFI: 0.69; PNFI: 0.79; GFI: 0.92; AGFI: 0.90; IFI: 0.96; TLI: 0.95; NFI: 0.94; CFI: 0.96) the scale has acceptable fit values. In the test-retest analysis, a positive correlation was found 0.83. As a result, it can be said that the globalization scale can be used in sports science research and is a valid and reliable scale.
