Abstract

Bu çalışma
Uluslararası Atletizm Federasyonu tarafından düzenlenen Dünya Atletizm
Şampiyonasının ev sahibi şehirdeki lise öğrencileri üzerinde bu spora karşı bir
farkındalık yaratıp yaratmadığını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bunun için
turnuva öncesi ve sonrası olmak kaydıyla toplam 5265 öğrenci ile bir anket
çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sorular bu spora öğrencilerin aktif olarak
katılımcı ve izleyici olmaları durumuna göre iki grupta oluşturulmuştur.  Çalışmanın en temel bulgularından birisi
ortaya koymaktadır ki öğrencilerin atletizm etkinliklerine katılmasına en büyük
iki engel atletizme ilgilerinin ve zamanlarının olmayışıdır. Ayrıca, ankete
katılan öğrencilerin %25’inden fazlası atletizm tesissilerinin eksikliğinden ve
atletizm etkinliklerine nasıl katılacaklarını bilmeyişinden dolayı
katılamadığını bildirmiştir. Bir diğer önemli bulgu ise atletizme ilgisi olan
kız öğrencilerin atletizmi öğrenme ve katılma isteklerinin erkek öğrencilerden
çok daha fazla olmasıdır. Ayrıca söz konusu bu turnuvanın ankete katılan
öğrenciler üzerinde bu spora ait farkındalıklarını arttırdığı gözlemlenmiştir.
Dolayısıyla bu noktada yerel ve hükümet yöneticileri gençlerin sportif
faaliyetler katılımlarını arttırmak için bu tür turnuvaların bölgelerinde çokça
düzenlenmesini sağlamalıdırlar.

High School Students’ Awareness of Track and Field: The Case of the IAAF World Indoor Track and Field Championships

Abstract

This
study aims to analyze the effect of the
IAAF World Indoor Track and Field Championships on high school students’
awareness of the sports of track and field in the host city, Istanbul Turkey.
Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were
applied to the data collected from total 5,262 high school students
before and after the event. Two groups of questions were asked of the students as participants and spectators.
The main empirical findings indicate that the most significant factors that inhibit high school students’ ability to
participate in track and field activities are lack of interest and time. Also, more
than 25 percent of the students said that factors keep them from participating in
track and field are lack of knowledge of how to participate and lack of access
to a track/facility. Additionally, it was
observed that female students who are interested in track and field would like to learn and participate in these
activities more so than their male peers. Another significant finding is that this tournament considerably increased
awareness of both female and male students. At this point, this study tries to
draw attention to the importance of sponsoring this kind of sports organization
for students and encouraging local and governmental sports authorities to host
events in their cities.
