SUMMARY

In this study, it is aimed to analyze attitudes of obese students in high school towards physical education according to some variables. 74 secondary education student, 45 of them are girls and 29 boys who studied at three different Anatolian High Schools in the city of Nigde in the 2016-2017 academic year, have been participated in this study. As data collection tool, Physical Education attitude scale for secondary education students developed by Güllü and Güçlü (2009) has been used and coefficient of consistence (Cronbach Alpha) is 0,94. SPSS 23.0 packaged software has been used for assesing the result. Kolmogorov – Smirnov Test have been done regarding whether the data showed normal distribution or not and Kurtosis and Skewness values have been studied. Independent Sample T Test has been used to test the mean difference significance belonging to two group independent variables in the study. One Way ANOVA Test has been used to test the mean differences significence when the number of groups is more than two. At the end of the study, all of the attitude scores belonging to variables have been found high and it has been established that obese high school students’ attitudes towards Physical Education show statictically significant difference, according to gender, in favor of boys (p<0,05). Accordingly, it has been determined that students’ cognitive attitudes acording to obesity level for Physical Education show difference in favor of second grade obese students (p<0,05) and no significent difference found in students’ affective and behavioural attitudes (p>0,05). It has been identified that high school students’ attitudes towards Physical Education show no statistically significant difference according to their calass level variable and time variable which they spent with their communication instruments (p>0,05) As a result, when considering obese students’ positive attitudes towards physical education and sports, in view of obtained findings, it is possible to say that physical education and sports may contribute to increase the participation of obese students and thus make them become healthy individuals.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu arastirmada, lise düzeyinde ögrenim gören obez ögrencilerin beden egitimi dersine yönelik tutumlarinin bazi degiskenlere göre incelenmesi amaçlanmistir. Arastirmaya 2016-2017 egitim-ögretim yilinda Nigde ilinde bulunan üç ayri Anadolu Lisesi'nde ögrenim gören 45 kiz ve 29 erkek olmak üzere toplam 74 lise ögrencisi katilmistir. Arastirmada veri toplama araci olarak Güllü ve Güçlü (2009) tarafindan gelistirilen "Ortaögretim Ögrencileri Için Beden Egitimi Dersi Tutum Ölçegi Kullanilmis olup ölçegin iç tutarlilik katsayisi 0.94 olarak tespit edilmistir. Verilerin degerlendirilmesinde SPSS 23.0 paket programi kullanilmistir. Verilerin normal dagilim gösterip göstermedigine iliskin Kolmogorov-Smirnov Testi yapilmis, Kurtosis ve Skewness degerleri incelenmistir. Arastirmadaki iki gruplu bagimsiz degiskenlere ait ortalama farklarin anlamliligini test etmek için parametrik hipotez testlerinden Independent Sample t testi kullanilmistir. Grup sayisinin ikiden fazla oldugu durumlarda gruplar arasindaki ortalama farklarinin anlamliligini test etmek için ise, One Way ANOVA testi kullanilmistir. Arastirmanin sonunda, degiskenlere ait tutum puanlarinin hepsi yüksek bulunmus olup, liselerde ögrenim gören obez ögrencilerin beden egitimi dersine yönelik tutumlarinin cinsiyete göre istatistiksel olarak erkekler lehine anlamli farklilik gösterdigi tespit edilmistir (p<0.05). Benzer sekilde ögrencilerin beden egitimi dersine yönelik obezite düzeyine göre bilissel tutumlarinin 2. sinif obez ögrenciler lehine anlamli farklilik gösterdigi belirlenmis olup (p<0.05), duyussal ve davranissal tutumlarinda anlamli farklilik bulunmamistir (p>0.05). Ögrencilerin beden egitimi dersine yönelik tutumlarinin ögrenim gördükleri sinif düzeyine  ve iletisim araçlari ile geçirdileri süre degiskenine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamli farklilik göstermedigi belirlenmistir (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak, obez ögrecilerin beden egitimi ve spor derslerine karsi tutumlarinin olumlu oldugu göz önünde bulunduruldugunda elde edilen bulgularin beden egitimi ve spor derslerinin obez ögrencilerin spora katiliminin arttirilmasi ve dolayisiyla onlarin saglikli bireyler olmalarinda önemli düzeyde katkisinin olabilecegini söylemek mümkündür
