Perception of the Interpretation of Early Recognition and Support of Sports Gifted Students
Abstract:
The research was conducted on a sample
of 102 respondents (teachers/professors) employed in
elementary schools in the Zenica-Doboj Canton of the
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main goal
of the research is to determine the attitudes and possible
differences in the attitudes of teachers and professors
regarding the early recognition and development of athletically
gifted students who transition from classroom to
subject classes, in the activities that the student engages
in with regard to the gender, work status, age and level of
education of the respondents. As a measuring instrument
in the research, a questionnaire with a five-point Likert
scale was used, in which each statement has 5 answers (I
do not agree at all, I do not agree, I have no opinion/I am
neutral, I agree, I completely agree). The survey questionnaire
contained seven indicators for the assessment
of early recognition and support for the development of
sports gifted students, as well as questions related to the
respondent’s gender, workplace/position, age and level
of education. The results of the t-test and the analysis
of variance of the different groups with LSD Post Hoc
comparison tests were used to determine any statistically
significant differences between the groups of respondents
with regard to gender, workplace/position, age and level
of education. The obtained results indicate that there are
no statistically significant differences in the attitudes of
teachers/professors regarding the early recognition and
development of athletically gifted students in the activities
that the student engages in with regard to gender and
age, and the differences in the attitudes of the respondents
were determined with regard to work status and
level of education of the respondents.
Keywords:
