The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between secondary school students' levels of participation in recreational activities and their attitudes towards physical education classes. The survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sample of the study consisted of 610 high school students (383 female, 227 male) studying in the Sultangazi district of Istanbul. Data were collected using the ‘Short Form of the Leisure Attitude Scale (SZTÖ-KF)’ and the ‘Physical Education Class Attitude Scale’. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression analyses were used to analyse the data. Findings indicate that students' attitudes towards free time and physical education classes are generally high. Significant differences were found based on gender and age variables; male students scored higher on all sub-dimensions, and attitude levels decreased with age. Furthermore, it was observed that the cognitive, affective, and behavioural dimensions of leisure time attitudes significantly predicted attitudes towards physical education classes. Consequently, it can be stated that participation in recreational activities strengthens students' positive attitudes towards physical education classes and plays an important role in fostering lasting habits towards physical activity.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin rekreasyonel faaliyetlere katılım düzeyleri ile beden eğitimi dersine yönelik tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, İstanbul ili Sultangazi ilçesinde öğrenim gören 610 lise öğrencisi (383 kız, 227 erkek) oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, “Serbest Zaman Tutum Ölçeği Kısa Formu (SZTÖ-KF)” ve “Beden Eğitimi Dersi Tutum Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, t-testi, ANOVA ve çoklu regresyon analizleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre, öğrencilerin serbest zaman tutumları ve beden eğitimi dersine yönelik tutumları genel olarak yüksek düzeydedir. Cinsiyet ve yaş değişkenlerine göre anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur; erkek öğrencilerin tüm alt boyutlarda daha yüksek puanlar aldığı, yaş arttıkça tutum düzeylerinin azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca serbest zaman tutumunun bilişsel, duyuşsal ve davranışsal boyutlarının, beden eğitimi dersi tutumunu anlamlı şekilde yordadığı görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, rekreasyonel faaliyetlere katılımın öğrencilerin beden eğitimi dersine yönelik olumlu tutumlarını güçlendirdiği ve fiziksel aktiviteye yönelik kalıcı alışkanlıkların kazandırılmasında önemli bir rol oynadığı söylenebilir.
