Attitudes are the performative step of potential behaviors.
They can give prior knowledge about behaviors to be
exhibited in the future. Thus, they can be essential in
providing foresight on testing the attitudes. It is important to
know the sports students’ attitude levels regarding the
schools which provide education towards sports. In this
research, it is aimed to examine the sports high school
students’ attitude regarding school. Research participants;
394 students who are studying at Sivas and Çorum Sports
High Schools and are stated according to the convenience
sampling method. Personal information form and “Attitude
Regarding School Scale” which is developed by Adıgüzel
(2012) are used to collect data. Besides, “t-test” and “one way
ANOVA” tests are used to detect whether the difference
between the attitudes according to the sportsmen’s country,
gender, class level they study, school preferance state and
family wealth are important. Research significance level is
accepted as p<0.05. As a result, significant difference is
detected at these extents: only trust sub-dimension according
to gender factor; value and adaption sub-dimensions
according to class level factor; trust, value and adaption subdimensions according to school preferance state factor; value
sub-dimension according to grade repetition factor; love and
value sub-dimensions according to family wealth factor.
From this point of view, attitude regarding school can be
changed positively by organizing intramural and
extrascholastic social activities with male and female
students from different levels and from those who have
negative or positive attitudes regarding school, or by
providing activities for spending more time together.
