Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between secondary school students' physical education and sports course aptitude levels and their perceptions of need-supportive teaching style. The study is in the relational screening model. The data pair used is secondary school students' physical education lesson aptitude levels and their perceptions of need-supportive teaching style in physical education and sports lessons. Three hundred twenty-six secondary school students, 166 female and 160 male, studying in the 2019-2020 academic year were included in the study (mean age 12.55±1.15). The data in the research were obtained by using the 'Needs Supportive Teaching Style Scale in Physical Education and the 'Physical Education Lesson Aptitude Scale'. Descriptive statistical methods and non-parametric data analysis methods were applied in data analysis. The findings showed a moderate positive correlation between the physical education and sports course predisposition levels of secondary school students and their perceptions of need-supportive teaching style (p<0.05). In this study, while physical education and sports course aptitude levels and need supportive teaching style perceptions did not differ according to gender and class variable, the total score of the Physical Education Lesson Aptitude Scale and the perceived ability dimension score for the physical education lesson and the Needs Supportive in Physical Education lesson of the students in the school sports teams. Teaching Style Scale Engagement dimension was statistically significantly higher than those who did not take part in school teams (p<0.05). The results show that the self-confident students who feel good in a physical education class and the students who participate in the school teams increase the perceived support from the teachers. In the light of these results, it can be said that physical education teachers should be more inclusive in education. Activities that will make all students active and provide effective development should be included in the lesson.
