Abstract:

The aim of this study is to reveal the opinions of school managers about women’s participation in sports activities. The universe of the study was formed by school managers working in the province of Bartın in the 2016-2017 educational year, while 125 school managers identified in accordance with the method of easy sampling. The research data was collected between 01.04.2016 and 31.05.2016. The data of the study was obtained with the "Women's Opinion Measurement to Participate in Sports Events" five-liquid type measurement tools, developed by Kızılyallı (2014) and composed of 39 questions. The "t" test that the participants found a difference between their opinions by gender and the other variables, and the difference between their opinions by other variables, was performed by one-way variance analysis. In the tests to determine whether there is a difference according to the personal information of the managers who participated in the study and the scales they obtained, statistically significant differences were found between the managers' "gender", "children's number", "management service time", "sporting status", "sporting level" and their opinions about women's participation in sports activities, while statistically significant differences were not found in the "age, service year, school type and job type" variants. School managers have found that they have a low level of perception because the levels of perception of women’s participation in sports events show a distribution below the average.
