Erkan Konca, Turhan Onarlioğlu

Abstract


The interest in Physical Education and Sports Departments in Turkey is increasing every year and the number of faculties and colleges providing education in this field is increasing day by day. Special aptitude exams are held for student recruitment and the physical abilities of the candidates are tested in these exams. In Sivas Cumhuriyet University, the School of Physical Education and Sports was transformed into the Faculty of Sports Sciences. There are Physical Education and Sports Teaching, Coaching Education, and Sports Management departments within the faculty. Student admission is done by special aptitude exam every year. In recent years, there has not been a unity in the examinations of Physical Education and Sports Schools throughout Turkey, so there is a need for a scientific evaluation of the examination systems. In this study, the accuracy of different exam systems in our country is investigated and the effect of exam parameters on passing the exam is examined.
