The aim of this study was to investigate the basketball players’, active in Turkey Women’s Basketball Super and 1st Leagues, empathy levels according to their marital status, educational status in addition to age and marital status of their coach; and to evaluate leadership characteristics and behavior of their coaches according to athlete’s perception. Another aim was to analyze the relation between empathy levels of the athletes and athletes’ perception of coaching behavior. 264 (age; 24.61±5.53 year) female athletes playing in Turkey Women’s Basketball Super and 1st Leagues participated in this study. Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS)-version of Athletes’ Perception of Coaching Behavior that developed by Chelladurai and Saleh, and adapted by Tiryaki and Toros in 2006 was used as data collection tool. Athletes’ perceptions of leadership style and behavior of their coach were evaluated in five different factors. A five-factor solution with 40 items describing the most salient dimensions of coaching behavior was selected as the most meaningful. Empathy levels of the athletes were determined by using Emphatic Tendency Scale which was developed by Dökmen (1988) and composed of 20 items. Empathy levels of the athletes showed no statistically significant difference in terms of any variable (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in athletes’ perceptions of coaching behaviors in terms of marital status of the athlete and age of their coach (p>0.05). In terms of educational status of athletes and marital status of their coach, there were statistically significant differences in athletes’ perceptions of coaching behaviors (p<0.05 and p<0.01). Positive and meaningful correlation was found between empathy scores of the athletes and training and instruction behavior (r=.172**) and autocratic behavior (r=.154*) of the coach (p<0.05 and p<0.01). Educational status of the athletes and marital status of their coach are influental in athletes’ evaluation of their perceptions of coaching behavior. Empathy levels of the athletes are related to their perceptions of coaching behavior.

Purpose:To assess the weekly fluctuations in workload and differences in workload according to playing time in elite female basketball players.Methods:A total of 29 female basketball players (mean [SD] age 21 [5] y, stature 181 [7] cm, body mass 71 [7] kg, playing experience 12 [5] y) belonging to the 7 women’s basketball teams competing in the first-division Lithuanian Women’s Basketball League were recruited. Individualized training loads (TLs) and game loads (GLs) were assessed using the session rating of perceived exertion after each training session and game during the entire in-season phase (24 wk). Percentage changes in total weekly TL (weekly TL + GL), weekly TL, weekly GL, chronic workload, acute:chronic workload ratio, training monotony, and training strain were calculated. Mixed linear models were used to assess differences for each dependent variable, with playing time (low vs high) used as fixed factor and subject, week, and team as random factors.Results:The highest changes in total weekly TL, weekly TL, and acute:chronic workload ratio were evident in week 13 (47%, 120%, and 49%, respectively). Chronic workload showed weekly changes ≤10%, whereas monotony and training strain registered highest fluctuations in weeks 17 (34%) and 15 (59%), respectively. A statistically significant difference in GL was evident between players completing low and high playing times (P = .026, moderate), whereas no significant differences (P > .05) were found for all other dependent variables.Conclusions:Coaches of elite women’s basketball teams should monitor weekly changes in workload during the in-season phase to identify weeks that may predispose players to unwanted spikes and adjust player workload according to playing time.

In addition to many factors determining the quality of education in educational institutions, the skills of education managers to manage the institution and affect teachers are also important. This study was carried out in order to determine the management skills and skills of affecting teachers of primary school directors in line with teacher opinions. The study group consists of 367 teachers working at state primary schools in Tuzla district of Istanbul province in the 2013-2014 academic year. The study is a screening study of the relational comparison type.The “Scale of School Principals’s  Teachers Affect” which was developed by Uygun (2006), "Management Skills Scale" adapted to Turkish by Şekerci (2006) and the “Personal Information Form” were used in the study in order to collect data.The results of this study show that the management skills of school directors are perceived by teachers at a high level. While the management skills of school directors perceived by teachers do not vary by the gender, age, marital status, seniority, grades taught and educational status of the teachers, a significant difference was determined by the variable of the region of education.It was seen that the skills of school directors to affect teachers are at the intermediate level according to the teacher perception. While there was no significant difference between the skills of school directors to affect teachers and the gender, marital status, the grades taught and educational status of the teachers, a significant difference was found by age and seniority. It was determined that as the management skills of school directors increased their scores of affecting teachers increased and there was a significant positive relationship between them. ÖzetEğitim kurumlarında eğitimin niteliğini belirleyen birçok faktörle birlikte eğitim yöneticilerinin kurum yönetimi becerileri ile öğretmenleri etkileme becerileri de önemlidir.

Coaching Behavior

For more than two decades, the behavioral categories of the Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS) and the Coaching Behavior Assessment System (CBAS) have been used by a wide range of researchers to measure coaching behaviors, yet little is known about how the behavioral categories in the two models relate statistically to one another. Male and female athletes on 63 high school teams (N = 645) completed the LSS and the athlete-perception version of the CBAS (CBAS-PBS) following the sport season, and they evaluated their coaches. Several of Chelladurai’s (1993) hypotheses regarding relations among behavioral categories of the two models were strongly supported. However, many significant and overlapping correlations between LSS subscales and CBAS-PBS behavioral categories cast doubt upon the specificity of relations between the two instruments. The LSS and the CBAS-PBS accounted for similar and notable amounts of variance in athletes’ liking for their coach and evaluations of their knowledge and teaching ability.

This study was planned in order to determine the effect of core exercises on anaerobic capacity of female basketball players. Twelve female athletes who play basketball participated in the study voluntarily. The athletes had 3 sets of repetitive core exercise program performed 4 days a week for 8 weeks at the end of their basketball trainings. The height of the athletes was 165 ± 6.57 cm, body weight was 58.73 ± 7.42 kg, age was 19.75 ± 1.05, and athletic age was 6.11 ± 2.11. According to the analysis of the results, peak power, average power, right and left hand grip strengths and right and left arm fat percentages of post-tests were found to have a statistically significant difference than the pre-tests (p <0.05). To sum up, there are very few studies on the anaerobic capacity of female basketball players, especially on the upper extremities. It is observed that basketball players have a stronger anaerobic capacity in attack and defense and that core exercises have a positive effect on certain basketball-specific technical skills such as passing, shooting, dribbling and defensive movements, and in this sense, they will also increase the performance of the athletes.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the coping strategies used by the class teachers and the self-efficacy perceptions. The research has been conducted in relational survey method. The universe of the research is composed of class teachers working in the primary schools in the provincial centers of Samsun in the academic year of 2018- 2019. In the study, has been used ”the scale of determining strategies used by pre-school teachers against undesired behaviors in classroom management, developed by Keleş (2015) and teacher self-efficacy scale prepared by Çapa, Çakıroğlu and Sarıkaya (2005). The research was carried out with the participation of 528 classroom teachers. The data collection tool consists of three parts. For statistical analysis, ”SPSS 24.0 for Windows“ was used. Descriptive statistics, mann whitney u test, kruskal wallis h test and correlation analysis has been used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it is found that classroom teachers are generally “indecisive” in coping with unwanted behaviors, and self-efficacy belief levels11 were “quite sufficient” for the whole scale. In addition, it was determined that teachers with high self-efficacy mostly used reality therapy / control model in coping with undesirable behaviors, and at least the safest discipline model and social discipline model were used. Therefore, there is a significant relationship between classroom teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and methods used to deal with unwanted behaviors. Methods used by teachers to deal with unwanted behaviors; There were significant differences between marital status, educational status, professional seniority and service duration in the institution. On the other hand, it was concluded that there was no significant difference according to gender variable. While teachers' self-efficacy beliefs differed significantly according to gender, professional seniority; It was concluded that there was no significant difference between marital status, educational status and service duration variables in the institution. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Bu araştırma, sınıf öğretmenlerinin karşılaştıkları istenmeyen öğrenci davranışlarına karşı kullandıkları baş etme yöntemleri ile öz yeterlilik algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini, 2018-2019 eğitim-öğretim yılında, Samsun ili merkez ilçelerindeki ilkokullarda görev yapan 1481 sınıf öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır Araştırmanın örneklemini ise evren içerisinden rastgele örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiş olan 528 sınıf öğretmeninden meydana gelmektedir. Araştırmada veri toplama amacıyla Keleş (2015) tarafından geliştirilen “Okul Öncesi Öğretmenlerinin Sınıf Yönetiminde İstenmeyen Davranışlara Karşı Kullandığı Stratejileri Belirleme Ölçeği” ve Türkçe için geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması Çapa, Çakıroğlu ve Sarıkaya  (2005)  tarafından yapılan  “Öğretmen Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel çözümlemelerde “SPSS 24.0 for Windows” paket programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, Mann-Whitney-U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testi ile korelasyon analizleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, sınıf öğretmenlerinin istenmeyen davranışlarla  orta  düzeyde başettikleri, öz yeterlilik inanç boyutu bakımından ise öğretmenler kendilerini “oldukça” düzeyinde başarılı görmüşlerdir. Ayrıca öz yeterliliği yüksek olan öğretmenlerin istenmeyen davranışlarla baş etmede en çok gerçeklik terapisi/kontrol modelini kullandıkları, en az ise güvengen disiplin modelini ve sosyal disiplin modelini kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Dolayısıyla sınıf öğretmenlerinin istenmeyen davranışlarla baş etmede kullandıkları yöntemler ile öz yeterlilik inançları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin istenmeyen davranışlarla baş etmede kullandıkları yöntemler; medeni durum, eğitim durumu, mesleki kıdem ve kurumdaki hizmet süresine göre anlamlı farklılık gösterirken; cinsiyet değişkenine göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin öz yeterlilik inançları; cinsiyet, mesleki kıdeme göre anlamlı farklılık gösterirken; medeni durum, eğitim durumu ve kurumdaki hizmet süresi değişkenlerine göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
