Abstract

This research aims to identify the opinions of physical education and sports teachers in Turkey regarding the sports media. The sample of the study was made up of randomly selected physical education and sports teachers working in Bolu, Düzce and Sakarya provinces and their districts. The literature was reviewed and a 21-item Likert type survey was developed in order to gather the opinions of teachers about the sports media. After collecting the expert views, revisions were made to the survey which was implemented to 272 teachers. Cronbach’s Alpha value which shows the reliability of the data was found out to be 0.639. According to teacher opinions, although media allocates importance to sports (4.04), it does not cover various sports branches (1.98). It was mentioned by the teachers that the most conspicuous sports event in the news was football (4.31). The physical education and sports teachers characterize the sports media as an effective but extensively football-oriented, unqualified, unscientific tool that publishes and broadcasts for the sake of the fans. According to these teachers, the sports media is a factor that intensifies violence in sports fields with its visual and printed tools. It was also seen as more effective on the fans compared to the main elements of sports: sportsmen/women, referees and administrators. According to the teachers, sports media contributes to the introduction of sports branches in the country and very effective in teaching the rules of games.
