Özet:

Persons with visual disabilities are people affected by insufficiency of vision with a general expression. Vision disability is one of the important elements that helps individuals take their place in their daily lives, socialize and connect to life, motivate their goals, and accept the idea that vision disability is not an obstacle to continuing to live. This study aims to determine the levels of motivation to participate in the sport of licensed visual disabled athletes according to a variety of variables. In this context, the research has used a visual scanning model from quantum research methods. The study included a total of 80 licensed athletes from the Turkish View Disabled Sports Federation. In the research, the personal information form prepared by researchers as a data collection tool was used by Tekkurşun Iron, Ilhan, Esentürk and Blood (2018) developed by the "Sporal Participation Motivation Scale (ESKMÖ)" for disabled individuals. In the analysis of the data obtained in the study; frequency, arithmetic average, standard deviation; t-test, Pearson Correlation, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) tests were used. The study found that the average internal motivation score of visual disabilities was higher than the average internal motivation score, while the average external motivation score was significantly higher than the goalballers. A significant difference between the age of athletes and the level of internal motivation in the positive direction has been detected. There was no significant difference in the gender of the participants. A significant difference has been found in the positive direction between the sports age of disabled athletes and the dimensions of internal motivation, external motivation and motivation. The result is that the motivation of sporting athletes with visual disabilities is high.
