The population of the study was comprised of 245 students (174 female, 71 male) who studied at a state vocational high school of health in İzmit, Kocaeli province and they were selected via convenience sampling method. The data were collected through "personal information form," "attitude toward physical education and sports scale," and "academic self-efficacy scale." Then, these data were analyzed through SPSS 21 package program parametric tests, after they were checked for normality and normal distribution. In analysis of the data, descriptive data, t-test, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and pearson correlation analysis were used. The findings revealed that although the rate of participating in school sports was high in the students, (n: 137) the rate of participating in licensed sports was low (n: 26). While the students' attitude scores toward physical education and sports class were above average (:124.26) they did not differ according to gender and age (p>0.05). However, the students' attitude scores toward physical education and sports class did differ significantly (p<0.05) in support of the ones who participate in school sports (n: 137) and licensed sports (n:26). When the students' academic self-efficacies were compared according to gender variance, the results differed significantly in support of the female students (p<0.05). On the other hand, there was no a significant difference between academic self-efficacy and age group; and school sports participation rate and licensed sports participation rate (p>0.05). Finally, pearson correlation analysis revealed that there was no a significant relationship between the students' attitudes toward physical education and sports class and academic self-efficacy (p>0.05). The results were discussed in the light of related literature and a few suggestions were made in order to contribute in the field.
