The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship among awareness levels by analyzing the
secondary education students’ cognitive, affective, psychomotor and also general awareness levels
on winter sports and to compare the awareness levels found in these fields with demographic
variables. 6789 students from 11 secondary education institutions in Kastamonu comprised the
target population of this study, and the sample consisted of 656 students from 5 different secondary
education institutions which provide different types of education. Data were collected through
“Winter Sports Awareness Level Scale”, which consisted of 3 subscales and developed by the
researcher. General awareness was found as α=,908 in the reliability test. The obtained alpha values
were α=,887 for cognitive subscale, α=,927 for affective subscale and α=,927 for psychomotor
subscale. In the data analysis’ process t Test and Variance Analysis were used for data showing
normal distribution, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis were used for data showing not normal
distribution. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was calculated to determine the relationship among the
subscales and the level of significance was accepted as p<0.05 in the study. Findings showed that
secondary education students’ general, cognitive and psychomotor awareness on winter sports were
“low level”, and their affective awareness was “mid level”. In addition, the presence of individuals
engaged in sports and interested in winter sports was significantly effective on students’ general
awareness levels and also cognitive, affective and psychomotor subscales. It was found that there
was a significant relationship “positive high level” between secondary education students’ general
awareness and cognitive and also affective awareness, “positive mid level” between their general
awareness and psychomotor awareness (p<0.05). As a result, it was determined that the secondary
education students’ awareness regarding winter sports was not sufficient. In order to develop
awareness, information resources, inside and outside of the school are to be increased, provincial
sport organization should organize encouraging activities and these activities should often to
mentioned in the local media.
