The population of the study consisted of students who continued their education in 4 different types of high schools in Gaziantep in the year 2021-2022, while the sample consisted of 691 students who volunteered to participate in the study. Of the 691 students who participated in the study, 257 (37.2%) were female and 434 (62.8%) were male. Independent groups T-test was used according to gender and sporting status variables, and one-way analysis of variance (One-Way Anova) according to school type variables was used to compare the PESSAS scores. According to the results of the independent groups T-test performed to compare the Physical Education and Sports Course Values Education Scale (BESDDO) scores, statistically significant differences were found between the sports and sedentary students in favor of the students who do sports. As a result of the research, it was determined that female students had higher physical education and sports course value levels compared to male students. It has been concluded that doing sports regularly increases the students' level of physical education and sports lessons.
