For this purpose, Gazi, Selçuk, Muğla and Fırat University Sports Sciences Faculty, Sports Management students (n = 770) participated in the questionnaire voluntarily. The socio-demographic information form of the volunteers was applied to the future time perception scale developed by Husman and Shell (1996) and the Time Management Behavior Scale developed by Britton and Tesser (1991). The obtained data was recorded with the package program "IBM SPSS 22". Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Spearman Correlation Analysis for the Correlation between future time sense and time management behavior were applied as a statistical process. As a result, there was a significant Correlation between gender, university and class, time management behaviors, gender, university and class variables. Furthermore, a too weak Correlation was found between the future time sense and the time management behavior on the positive side. This may be due to the students' personal development, social circles, socioeconomic status difference and the missions and visions of the students differ.

Introduction It may vary in time for people to develop themselves and achieve their goals. The influence of the individual's immediate or remote future expectations on the present actions of their goals has been one of the research topics of educational psychology since 1960's. To define this in the process, the concept of future time perception is used (Lens and Tsuzuki, 2005). We do not have any knowledge of the future, although we do not have some information about the past. However, future plans can be made. They may need a sense of the future time to plan for themselves and their students and their goals. Future-time perception is defined by Lens and Tsuzuki (2005) as "the effect on the present actions of the goals that the individual wants to achieve in near or far future". According to Husman and Shell (1996), the sense of future time is multidimensional. These subdimensions are expressed as dimensions of "connectedness, value, extension and speed”. Connectedness is the correlation between the individual's current actions and future goals, the value that the individual gives to the goals he or she wants to achieve in the near or far future, Daltrey and Langer (1984) express the speed as the perception of the individual's speed of passing. The future time perception can be expressed as the process of influencing and developing the aim of the individual to direct himself, direct him and to realize his goal. It is a complicated process to plan in this direction to prepare for the future time zone. It is inevitable that the students have worries about their future. They need to plan their time so that their worries can be removed and they can achieve their goals, and have a good time management to remove the traps and obstacles in their lives. Life conditions and living standards are divergent from the past to present. The efficient use of the time possessed is individual.
