| description | The purpose of the present research
was to examine the perceptions of 6th Grade students (age range:
10-13 years old) regarding their concept of the physical education teacher
expressed through metaphors and to analyze these metaphors for comparison
between the genders. A total of 356 students (girls=184; boys=172) participated
in the study during the 2014-2015 academic year. They were from three different
state schools in the province of Konya, Turkey. According to the results, the
students produced 67 different metaphors related to their concept of the
physical education teacher. These metaphors were grouped under seven
conceptional categories, namely “someone needed, guide, motivator;
authoritarian, source of amusement, confidant and rude”. There were no
statistically significant differences between the genders in terms of the
metaphors used. The findings revealed that the metaphor method could be used
meaningfully as an important data collection tool when investigating the
perceptions of students regarding their concept of the physical education
teacher. This method can be recommended for use in similar and further studies. |
