The Relationship Between Academıc Self-Efficacy And Patience Tendencies Of Physıcal Education And Sports Teachers: The Case Of The Eastern Black Sea Regıon

Abstract

The goal of the study is academic efficacy related to patience tendencies of teacher candidates of physical education. The research contained teacher candidates studying in sports science departments of state universities in the Eastern Black Sea region, and randomly selected 205 people as sample group. Socio-demographic form, self-efficacy and patience tendency scales were performed by participants. Statistical analysis was performed in computer environment. The arithmetic averages of the scores of sports science students from scales are reported. Spearman correlation analysis (r) was used. The results showed that while the academic self-efficacy levels of the participants were high, the total and sub-dimensions of the patience disposition were at an average level. Psitively low level of correlation was seen between continuous variables. When academic self-efficacy and the subdimensions of patience tendency were examined, a positively low correlation was found with patience against haste, and a moderate positive relationship with anger against anger was seen. It is thought that this situation is because of the participants’ in-faculty curriculum programs and the effects of the sports branch they are dealing with on their character development.
