  Examining the Attitudes of Physical Education Teacher Candidates Toward the Teaching of Students with Special Needs

  Aydemir, Uğur

  This study aims to investigate the attitudes of physical education teacher candidates toward teaching students with special needs. The study, designed as a descriptive survey, involved 284 teacher candidates studying in physical education teacher training departments at universities. Data were collected using the “Attitudes of Physical Education Teachers Toward the Education of Individuals with Disabilities-III” scale. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for data analysis. The findings obtained as a result of the analyses revealed that the attitudes of physical education teacher candidates toward the teaching students with special needs were negative. It was determined that the attitude scores of physical education teacher candidates toward the teaching students with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder were lower than their attitude scores toward other special needs groups. In addition, it was observed that teacher candidates who had individuals with special needs in their families, who had previously taught individuals with special needs, and who had taken courses on individuals with special needs during their undergraduate education had higher attitude scores, while there was no significant difference in the attitude scores of physical education teacher candidates according to gender. In light of these findings, it is recommended that application-oriented course content be created during undergraduate education and that activities be organized in which physical education teacher candidates participate together with students with special needs, in order to contribute to the development of positive attitudes toward the teaching students with special needs among physical education teacher candidates.

  A Cooperative Physical Activity Intervention to Improve Physical Activity Level and Social Skills of Preschool Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

  Töman, Ufuk; Yarimkaya, Erkan; Aydemir, Uğur

  The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of cooperative physical activities on the physical activity level and social skills of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder. This study used the explanatory mixed-method design consisting of quantitative and qualitative stages. A total of 24 preschool children (12 children with autism spectrum disorder and 12 typically developing children) participated in the study. Children were randomly assigned to an experimental group (child with autism spectrum disorder n = 6; typically developing child n = 6) and a control group(child with autism spectrum disorder n = 6; typically developing child n = 6). Children in the experimental group participated in cooperative physical activities for 6 weeks. The cooperative physical activities consisted of stages such as a general warm-up, a child with autism spectrum disorder and a typically developing child forming a group, group task completion, and a general cool-down. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, Social Skills Assessment Scale and Semi-Structured Interview Form. After cooperative physical activities, a significant increase was observed in the physical activity level (F = 15.163, p < .05, Ƞ² = .603) and social skills (F = 10.213, p < .05, Ƞ² = .505) of the children with autism spectrum disorder in the experimental group. Parents reported that cooperative physical activities were a useful intervention to improve the physical activity level and social skills of children with autism spectrum disorder.
