Özet:

The study group of the research consisted of 260 students, 143 females and 117 males, who voluntarily participated in the study and were attending Düzce Konuralp Middle School. The "Physical Education Class Sportsmanship Behavior Scale (PEC-SBS)" developed by Koç (2013) was used in the study. The scale is a 22-item 5-point Likert scale with two sub-dimensions: exhibiting appropriate behavior and avoiding inappropriate behavior. The effect of Physical Education and Sports classes on students' sportsmanship behaviors was examined in terms of some variables within the scope of the research. The obtained data was analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 package program. Although the normality test result showed that the data was not normally distributed, parametric tests were applied because the data had values between -1 and +1 according to the Kurtosis-Skewness test. ANOVA test was used for three or more variables, and the t-test was used for binary variables in the analysis. According to the results of the statistical analysis, significant differences were found in both sub-dimensions according to the Class variable, and in terms of gender, significant differences were found in the sub-dimensions. However, no significant difference was found in General Sportsmanship Behaviors. In terms of athlete license status variable, no statistically significant difference was observed in General Sportsmanship Behaviors. In terms of the variable of following sports channels, statistically significant differences were found in favor of those who answered "Yes" in both the Avoiding Inappropriate Behaviors sub-dimension and the General Sportsmanship Behaviors. In conclusion, it can be said that Physical Education and Sports class generally have a positive impact on middle school students' sportsmanship behaviors and are an important tool in helping them learn about the concept of sportsmanship
