Özet:

 This study aims to examine social media addiction and sports participation levels of private and public school students. Social media addiction is defined as spending excessive time on digital platforms and its negative effects on personal life, social relationships, and physical health. A total of 1350 students, 671 male and 679 female students, participated in the study. Personal information about the participants age, gender, school type, social media use, and sports participation levels was collected. In order to determine the level of social media use, the Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents SAMAS, which was conducted by Özgenel et al. 2019 for validity and reliability, was used. According to the data obtained, private school students have higher levels of social media addiction and sports participation than public school students. It was observed that female students used social media more than male students. While social media addiction and sports participation were high in the 11-12 age group, these scores started to decrease in the 12-13 age group. Those with low socio-economic status also had low levels of social media addiction and sports participation. Students with higher socio-economic status were also found to have higher levels of social media addiction and sports participation. As a result, private school students and students with high socio-economic status had high levels of social media addiction and sports participation, while public school students had low levels. Here, it was concluded that economic conditions attract people to the comfort zone but distract them from physical activity in order to be healthy. The fact that female students participation in physical activity is low and their social media addiction is high makes female students active in socializing on social media, keeping up to date, or following what they like, while negatively affecting them in terms of health and physical development. According to the age variable, it was determined that there was a decrease in social media addiction and sports participation levels in middle school students as they get older. This is due to the fact that the last years of school are spent preparing for exams; students focus on high school transition exams and families perception of success; and exam concerns and future concerns cause them to take their children away from sports, art, and all activities outside of class. For this reason, students should be taught at the earliest ages that time should be managed correctly, and they should be taught to use social media with the behaviors of doing activities that positively affect physical and mental health, such as sports, physical activity, and exercise, in order to stay healthy. Keywords: Social media addiction, sports participation levels, private schools, public schools.

 Bu çalışma, özel ve devlet okulu öğrencilerinin sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile spora katılım düzeylerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Sosyal medya bağımlılığı, dijital platformlarda aşırı zaman harcamak ve bunun kişisel yaşam, sosyal ilişkiler ve fiziksel sağlık üzerinde olumsuz etkiler yaratması durumu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Araştırmaya 671i erkek, 679u kız öğrenci toplam 1350 öğrenci katılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş, cinsiyet, okul türü, sosyal medya kullanımı ve spora katılım düzeylerine ait kişisel bilgiler toplanmıştır. Sosyal medya kullanım düzeylerini belirlemek için Özgenel ve arkadaşları 2019 tarafından geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması yapılan Ergenler için Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği ESMBÖ kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilere göre özel okul öğrencilerinin devlet okulu öğrencilerine göre sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve spora katılımları düzeyleri daha yüksektir. Kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilerden daha fazla sosyal medyayı kullandıkları görülmüştür. Erkek öğrencilerinde haftalık spora katılım düzeyleri kız öğrencilerden daha yüksektir.11-12 yaş grubunda sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve spora katılım yüksek iken 12-13 yaş grubunda bu skorlar düşmeye başlamıştır. Sosyo-ekonomik durumu düşük olanların sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve spora katılım düzeyleri de düşüktür. Sosyo-ekonomik durumu yüksek olan öğrencilerin sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve spora katılım düzeyleri de yüksek bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, özel okul öğrencileri ve sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi yüksek olan öğrencilerin sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile spora katılım düzeyleri yüksek, devlet okulu öğrencilerinin ki düşüktür. Burada ekonomik koşulların kişileri konfor alanına çektiği ancak sağlıklı olmak adına fiziksel aktiviteden uzaklaştırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Kız öğrencilerin fiziksel aktiviteye katılımlarının düşük, sosyal medya bağımlılıklarının ise yüksek olması kız öğrencileri sosyal medyada sosyalleşme, günceli takip etme, ya da hoşuna giden şeyleri takip etme konusunda aktif kılarken sağlık ve fiziksel gelişim anlamında olumsuz etkilemektedir. Yaş değişkenine göre ortaokul düzeyindeki öğrencilerde yaş ilerledikçe sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve spora katılım düzeylerinde azalma olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu durumun okulların son yıllarının sınavlara hazırlanmakla geçmesinden kaynaklandığı, öğrencilerin liselere geçiş sınavlarına yoğunlaşması ve ailelerin başarı algısı, sınav kaygıları, gelecek kaygıları çocuklarını da spordan, sanattan ve ders dışındaki bütün aktivitelerden uzaklaştırmalarına sebep olmaktadır. Bu sebeple öğrencilere en erken yaşlarda zamanın doğru yönetilmesi gerektiği öğretilerek sağlıklı kalabilmeleri adına spor, fiziksel aktivite, egzersiz gibi beden ve ruh sağlığını olumlu etkileyen aktiviteler yapma davranışları ile sosyal medya kullanımı öğretilmelidir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Sosyal medya bağımlılığı, Spora katılım düzeyleri, Özel okullar, Devlet okulları.
