SCHOOL OF SPORTS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDENTS’ TIME MANAGEMENT BEHAVIOR

The aim of the study was to determine the time management behavior of School of Sport Sciences and Technology students’. 61 female ( x¯ age=20.47 Sd=1.80) and 132 male ( x¯ age=22.30 Sd= 2.03) with total 193 students (x¯ age=21.66 Sd= 2.16) were participated to this study. “The General Information Form” prepared by researchers and “Time Management Questionnaire” which was developed by Britton and Tesser (1991) and Turkish validity and the reliability of this questionnaire was done bye Alay and Koçak (2002) were used. The descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T Test and One Way ANOVA were applied for data analyses. The result of the study showed that there was a statistically significant gender differences in the time waster sub dimension of the instrument in the favor of female [t(211)=2.61, p .05], on the other hand there was no significant differences of the time attitude and time planning sub scales of the instrument (p 0.05). According to departments’ time management behavior results of One Way ANOVA, there was no significant differences in the all subscales and total scores (p 0.05). One Way ANOVA was conducted to determine the time management differences in terms of students’ class. The results indicated that there was a significant difference of the time attitude sub dimension in the favor of first grade students [F(3-209)=3.32, p .05], but there were no significant differences in the other subscales (p 0.05). As a result, it can be said that there was a positive attitude in the time waster subscales for female students and in the of time attitude subscales for 1. grade students.
