Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the attitudes of university students who have received sports education towards E-learning. Quantitative research model was applied in the research. The population of the study consisted of 315 students who were selected via random sampling method, at Bayburt University School of Physical Education and Sports. The e-learning attitude scale which was developed by Wilkinson, Roberts and While (2010) and adapted to Turkish by Haznedar and Baran (2012) was used in the study. The data were analyzed through SPSS 22 package program. For descriptive data analysis; ANOVA and Independent Sample T test were applied. The result of the one-way analysis of variance showed that the Physical Education Teaching and Sports Management departments had higher scores than the Coaching Department. In this context, according to the results obtained from the research, it can be said that Coaching Department had lower score than the other two departments because of the fact that there were more courses requiring technical skills compared to the Physical Education Teaching and Sports Management departments.
