In the present study, students’ attitudes towards life studies course and their levels of school happiness are investigated using single screening, causal comparison and relational screening models. The study sample consists of 948 students selected via stratified and random sampling from a population of students attending 2nd and 3rd grades of primary schools in Ankara. The results of the analyses performed with parametric tests demonstrate high levels of life studies course attitudes and school happiness among 2nd and 3rd grade primary school students. A moderate, positive and significant relationship was found between attitudes and school happiness, with attitude accounting for 15% of the total variance of happiness.

In this study, correlational research methodology was used to examine the impact of income levels, daily leisure time, 21st-century skill levels, and gender on the recreational activity preferences of university students. A total of 366 students from Necmettin Erbakan University were selected as a representative sample through face-to-face questionnaires, aiming to capture the characteristics of the full population. The data collection instruments comprised of a participant form and the \"Multidimensional 21st Century Skills Scale.\" Recreational activities were classified into various categories. The research employed a multiple logistic regression analysis to forecast individuals' preferences for recreational activities, while considering factors such as income levels, daily leisure time, 21st-century skills, and gender. The results of the research showed that the significant impact of gender on individuals' preferences concerning sports, touristic, leisure, cultural, and artistic activities.

The research group consisted of 24 volunteer male athletes licensed in the badminton branch. Considering the badminton competition period, an eight-week, ninety-minute training program was applied to the research group, three days a week. Within the scope of the training, 10-15 minutes of warm-up time, 50-60 minutes of badminton training and studies to improve basic motoric features, and 5-10 minutes of cool-down exercises were made at the end of the training. Blood samples were taken from the athletes in the research group twice, before the start of the training program and at the end of the training. In the blood samples taken as a result of the training, the athletes; thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, levels were determined. The obtained data were analyzed using the SPSS 22 package program and the significance was accepted as p0.05.

Descriptive statistical methods, t-test, ANOVA and correlation analyses were used in the data analysis. Pre-service teachers' automatic thought perceptions were at low level, while life satisfaction perceptions were at middle level. The scores of the LSS and ATQ-R did not differ significantly according to gender, department and grade level. While the scores of ATQ-R did not differ significantly according to income and leisure time evaluation, the scores of LSS differed significantly. On the other hand, the scores of both LSS and the ATQ-R differed significantly according to the frequency of participation in recreational activities.

Through semi-structured interview method, the purpose of this study was to understand Division III athletic administrators (N= 8) perceptions of adaptive sports. Throughout the data, 4 themes emerged: lack of knowledge, how, impact, and resources. Implications from this study suggest that a strategic plan needs to be developed to improve visibility, awareness, and general knowledge regarding adaptive sports. Additionally, a strategic plan targeting collegiate athletics is necessary to promote conversations around adaptive sports. Sponsoring adaptive sports is in line with the Division III philosophy. Although the participants indicated interest in adopting adaptive sports, barriers (e.g., resources, compliance with federal law) were a deterrent. To this, the NCAA should educate the membership on the benefits of adaptive sports and incentivize institutions to implement adaptive sports programming.Keywords: Adaptive Sports, Athletic Administration, Division III, Intercollegiate Athletics","PeriodicalId":165113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Recreation Patterns","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135857489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investigators used a questionnaire designed based on Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory to ask 168 ESL preservice teachers enrolled in the English Department in a public university located in central Anatolia. The results of this study found that the use of technology during ESL preservice teachers' training was the most significant predictor of their self-efficacy to integrate technology in their teaching practices, then followed by the number of years they are attending the education training and finally their learning preferences such as the use of multimedia and digital materials. The results of this study also found that ESL preservice teachers’ gender and age were insignificant causes for building their confidence to integrate technology. The study also has found that there is a significant relationship between ESL preservice teachers' use of technology and their levels of self-efficacy and this relationship was strong and positive. These findings indicate that prior experience with technology among preservice teachers is a key component in determining their confidence in integrating technology into teaching and learning. The study offers vital insights into how teacher education programs might effectively prepare ESL preservice teachers for technology integration.
