The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a difference according to doing sports at a level of university adaptation. A total of 230 participants (1st year students; 108 female/122male), studying at Sakarya University in the 2015-2016 academic year, at a faculty of sports science, education, engineering, economics and administrative sciences, participated to the research. In order to determine university adaptation level of the students, The Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire by Baker and Siryk (1999) was used. The adaptation questionnaire consists of four sub-dimensions. These; Social, academic, personal-sensory and institutional adaptation. The personal information form prepared by the researchers was used to determine the demographic information of the students. According to the results of the statistical data, it is seen that the students who play sports are more difficult in their general adaptations to the university and in the social and academic adaptation sub-dimensions than those who do not. For institutional adjustment and sensory adjustment sub-dimensions, there was no significant difference between athletes and non-athletes.
Özet
Bu çalışmanın amacı; üniversiteye uyum sağlama düzeyinde öğrencilerin spor yapıp yapmama durumlarına göre farklılık olup olmadığını incelemektir. Çalışma Sakarya üniversitesinde 2015-2016 öğretim yılında spor bilimleri fakültesi, eğitim fakültesi, mühendislik fakültesi, iktisadi idari bilimler ve fen edebiyat fakültesinin üniversite 1.sınıf öğrencilerinden 108 kadın 122 erkek olmak üzere toplam 230 öğrenci üzerinde yapılmıştır. Öğrencilerin üniversiteye uyum düzeylerini belirlemek için Baker ve Siryk 1999 yılında düzenlediği öğrencilerin üniversiteye uyum anketi kullanılmıştır. Uyum anketi dört alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Bunlar; sosyal uyum, akademik uyum, kişisel-duysal uyum ve kurumsal uyumdan oluşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin demografik bilgilerini belirlemek için araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel verilerin sonucuna göre spor yapan öğrencilerin hem üniversiteye genel uyumlarında hem de sosyal ve akademik uyum alt boyutlarında spor yapmayanlara göre daha çok zorlandıkları görülmüştür. Kurumsal uyum ve duysal uyum alt boyutları için ise spor yapan ve yapmayan öğrenciler arasında anlamlı bir fark görülmemiştir.
