Validity and reliability of Turkish form of sport brand personality scale, which was developed by Mitsis and Leckie (2016), was presented in this study. Scale was designed to reflect the impact of individuals' favorite athletes on them in other words the strength of the role model factor. In study, participants were tried to reach through an online form on voluntary basis and participants were included into the study in two stages as pilot and main study. After the incorrect and incompletely filled scale forms had been taken out, 107 people were taken for the pilot study and 326 people were taken for the validity and reliability of the study, in total 433 people were taken into account for the statistical procedures. When the educational status of participants were asked in the study; it was stated that, 1 of participants was literate, 2 of participants were primary school, 6 of participants were secondary school, 69 of participants were high school, 300 of participants were university graduate and 55 of participants were undergraduate. When we look at age distribution of the participants, 10.6% of them were in 14-19 age group, 37.4% of them were in 20-25 age group, 20.6% of them were in 26-31 age group, 14.3% of them were in 32-37 age group, 9.5% of them were in 38-43 age group, 5.3% of them were in 44-49 age group, 2.1% of them were in 50-55 age group and 0.2% of them were in 56 age and above group. For the Turkish adaptation of scale, language validity was provided through expert opinion. Validity of scale was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis and reliability of scale was assessed with split-half reliability methods. For the six subscales, it was seen that fit indices were in acceptable level for X[superscript 2] /df, RMSEA, RFI, GFI, AGFI and in perfect level for CFI, NNFI, NFI, IFI. In conclusion, the internal consistency for all scale was 0.95 and for the six subscales respectively were 0.91, 0.86, 0.86, 0.84, 0.77 and 0.90. In conclusion, obtained data by the application of Turkish form of scale showed that adapted scale having six subscales, 19 items and 7 Likert type scoring tool, was a valid and reliable scale.

In the 21st century, science and technology have led to so many negative situations as well as positive developments for humanity. These negativities also affect human beings in a very intense way and in a natural result of this, people affect other's livings negatively. The general belief that the decelerating the events, actions and moral corruptions which lead to missing the peace of communities and the abolition of this negative situation will be ensured only by the development of the values which the individual possesses. Also states are taking precautions and making plans for this issue. So, value education in many countries has recorded a rapid acceleration in recent years. In Turkey, there are also some sections which have theoretical course curriculum and some scientific activities about values. However, it is considered that development in value and value education concepts are not enough and the applied courses such as physical education and sports, which aim to improve the individual as a whole, do not take place as much as within the scope of value education. For this reason, it is aimed to establish a point of view in the light of the works done in the Turkish science literature and the activities carried out by the related stakeholders for value education. Research was prepared as a document analysis form. Resources related to the physical education and value education in Turkey were collected and general evaluations were made through the obtained data and finally some suggestions were made.

Values education is very important for supporting and directing the attitudes and behaviors that brings from birth and changes by the effects of surroundings. The most effective people to provide this support after family are the teachers, especially the physical education teachers who are constantly communicating with the students. Therefore, teachers' perception and knowledge level for this concept should be determined. In order to achieve this purpose, the study was prepared by using qualitative research method. The sample group of the study consists of nine physical education teachers who were determined with easily accessible case sampling method, which is one of the purposive sampling methods. Individual interviews which lasted for an average of 30 minutes were conducted with physical education teachers within the context of semi-structured interview technique. The participants were informed that the interviews would be voice recorded and later their expressions would be written down and after necessary permissions were taken, the interviews were recorded. Descriptive and content analysis methods were used to analyze the expressions which were converted into text. The results of the analyses showed that according to physical education teachers, firstly family and after school teachers are responsible for teaching values. Value education through physical education is necessary and it is considered to be positively reflected in school discipline. It is also stated that in the teacher training programs there should be practical courses for direct values education as well as theoretical courses.

Competitions between countries occur in every field, from science to industry. This competition is inevitable in the field of sports, which is the greatest feature of publicity in countries, one of the tools of getting political advantage and the greatest focus of global capital. This competition, which is seen in the fields of sport, sometimes becomes extreme and situations arise which are far from reflecting the nature of sports. Especially the efforts of athletes to represent their countries in the best way sometimes cause them to behave inappropriately to their opponents. Thus, the purpose of this study is to find out whether athletes' being on the national team has any effects on their moral structure and to find out whether the attitudes they show to their opponent during competition are ideological or moral. Phenomenologic design was used in the study which was prepared with qualitative research method. The sample group of the study consists of 10 athletes in the junior national team who were determined with maximum variation sampling method. Individual interviews of an average of 10-12 minutes were conducted with the athletes within the context of semi-structured interview technique. The participants were informed that the interviews would be voice recorded and their expressions would later be converted into text to avoid data loss; the interviews were recorded after the necessary permissions were taken. Descriptive and content analysis method were used to analyze the expressions converted into text. Analysis results showed that the athletes stated that being on the national team had positive effects on moral structure due to motivating factors such as representing one's country and being role models and that they were led by their moral structure while competing with their opponents.

Scale was designed to measure outcomes related with character in the sport environment. 438 participants were voluntarily included into the study in two stages as pilot and main study. After the controlling of the answers, incorrect and incompletely filled scale forms were taken out, 170 people were taken for the pilot study and 268 people were taken into the consideration for the validity and reliability of the scale. Firstly, language validity was provided through expert opinion. Validity of scale to Turkish culture was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis and reliability of scale was assessed with split-half reliability methods and it was seen that fit indices were in acceptable level for six subscales. In conclusion, the internal consistency for all scale was 0.83 and for the six subscale respectively were 0.74, 0.80, 0.82. Obtained data by the application of Turkish form of scale showed that adapted scale which had 3 factors, 44 items and 5 Likert type scoring tool, was a valid and reliable scale.

The purpose of this study is to find out the views of teachers of physical education about how they define character education, whether they think national education curriculum and the curriculum of private schools are suitable for character education and whether they think character education can be applied in physical education lessons.

The aim of this study is to examine the self-respect and decision-making styles of students studying in secondary education institutions. In this study, which is a quantitative research, the survey model was adopted. The population of the study consists of secondary education institutions affiliated to Kütahya Provincial Directorate of National Education, while the sample group includes a total of 442 participants, 250 males and 192 females, who continue their education in these secondary education institutions. As a measurement tool, Melbourne Decision Making Scale I-II which was developed by Mann et al. (1998) and was adapted into Turkish by Deniz (2004) was used. T-test and ANOVA tests were applied to analyse the obtained data. Based on the assumption of homogeneous distribution of the data, Welch values were taken into consideration and Tamhane's T2 test values from Post Hoc tests were analysed. The results showed statistically significant differences according to the participants' gender, sport type, competition participation status and education level variables. Factors such as gender, sport type and competition participation status can affect decision making styles. Therefore, determining the variables affecting self-respect and decision-making styles is important for students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to determine the perspectives of parents towards table tennis and the changes they observed in their children. The research was designed as a qualitative research and a phenomenology pattern was used. In the sample selection of the study, the easily accessible case sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods, was adopted. And 15 parents selected through this method were included in the study group. Semi-structured interviews, lasting 30 minutes on average, were conducted with the parents within the scope of 5 questions. Before starting the study, parents were informed ethically, and interviews were recorded after their consent was obtained. Afterwards, the relevant interviews were transcribed, content and descriptive analyses were made. As a result of the analyses made, it was seen that the children started the branch sometimes by being chosen or by chance and sometimes with the support of their parents. Parents stated that they preferred the branch because it could be done in any environment and it did not require contact. They also observed positive changes in their children's health, behaviour and academic field that their children were prepared for life thanks to the branch, and that's why the branch was at the center of their children's lives. It is thought that applying the findings obtained from this study to different branches and designing curricula and leisure time activity areas in terms of holistic development will be beneficial in terms of spreading the gains to the general and making more contributions.
