Abstract:

 In this study, it was aimed to examine the willingness of physical education and sport teachers to take part as administrators in schools. The population of the research, which was carried out in the basic qualitative research model from qualitative research approaches, consists of 12 physical education and sports teachers who are or have been working as administrators in schools in Kocaeli. A semi-structured interview form was used as a data collection tool in the study. Thematic analysis method was used to analyse the data. It was aimed to express the data collected in the research clearly and the validity of the research was tried to be ensured by making use of the answers given by the participants one-to-one. The reliability of the research was ensured by coding and categorising the data obtained in the research by searching the relevant sources. In the research, information about the professional and personal characteristics of physical education and sports teachers was obtained with the answers given to the questions about their demographic status. In line with the findings, physical education and sport teachers explained their reasons for becoming an administrator with four themes perceiving themselves sufficient in terms of responsibilities, expectations in becoming an administrator, differences in relations with teachers, negativities affecting performance. It was found that physical education and sport teachers felt themselves most adequate in terms of charismatic leadership; comfort leave, professional satisfaction, etc. came to the fore among the expectations; when they became administrators, they experienced more differentiation with other teachers in terms of discipline, and they encountered working conditions and professional problems in case their performance was negatively affected.

 Bu araştırmada, beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin okullarda yönetici olarak yer alma isteklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma yaklaşımlarından temel nitel araştırma modeli deseninde gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Kocaelinde bulunan, okullarda yöneticilik yapıyor veya yapmış olan 12 beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, tematik analiz yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada toplanan verilerin açık şekilde ifade edilmesi amaçlanmış ve kitlenin vermiş olduğu yanıtlardan birebir yararlanılarak araştırmanın geçerliliği sağlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler kodlanarak kategorize edilmesiyle ilgili kaynaklar araştırılarak araştırmanın güvenirliliği sağlanmıştır. Araştırmada beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin demografik durumlarına ilişkin sorulara verilen cevaplarla mesleki ve kişisel özelliklerine ait bilgiler elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenleri yöneticiliğe yönelme nedenlerini dört temayla sorumluluklar açısından yeterli görme, yöneticiliğe yönelimdeki beklentiler, öğretmenlerle ilişkide farklılıklar, performansı etkileyen olumsuzluklar açıklamışlardır. Beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenleri yöneticilikte kendilerini en çok karizmatik liderlik konusunda yeterli hissederken; beklentiler arasında rahatlığın izin, mesleki doyum vb. öne çıktığı; yönetici olduklarında diğer öğretmenlerle disiplin konusunda daha fazla farklılaşma yaşandığı ve performanslarının olumsuz etkilenmesi durumunda çalışma koşulları ve mesleki sorunlarla karşılaştıkları tespit edilmiştir.
