Abstract

Study aim(s): This study aimed to determine whether coach candidates' attitudes towards the profession have an impact on their academic motivation.

Methods: A total of 378 coach candidates voluntarily participated in the research. Data were collected through an online survey method during the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. In addition to the personal information form, the "Academic Motivation Scale" and the "Attitudes Towards Coaching Scale" were used as data collection tools. Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis were performed to analyze normally distributed data and determine the relationship between variables.

Results: The results detected a moderate and positive relationship between attitudes towards coaching and academic motivation, specifically the sub-dimensions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. To determine the level of impact, a simple linear regression analysis was conducted between attitudes towards coaching and the sub-dimensions of academic motivation. It was observed that attitudes towards coaching did not affect demotivation; however, they significantly predicted and explained 32% of the variance in intrinsic motivation. Besides, attitudes toward coaching significantly predict and explain 36% of the variance in extrinsic motivation.

Conclusions: In conclusion, it can be stated that coach candidates' attitudes towards the profession had a significant impact on their academic motivation.
