Abstract

Die primere doel van hierdie ondersoek was om vas te stel hoe belangrik dit is dat 'n komponent sportsielkunde ingesluit word in die opleidingsprogram van vakonderwysers. Ten einde hierdie doel te bereik, is 'n teoretiese sowel as 'n empiriese ondersoek uitgevoer. Tydens die teoretiese ondersoek is verskillende aspekte van die sportsielkunde ontleed, waarin die rol van die vakonderwyser telkens toegelig is. Tydens die empiriese ondersoek (waaraan 134 vakonderwysers wat sport afrig en 235 sportleerlinge deelgeneem het) is aangetoon dat: Ongeveer 82% van die vakonderwysers wat sport afrig, opleiding in afrigtingstegnieke ontvang het, maar slegs 16% het opleiding in sportsielkunde ontvang. • Vakonderwysers daarvan oortuig is dat sportsielkunde ingesluit moet word in die opleidingsprogram van vakonderwysers. • Dit vir sportleerlinge baie belangrik is dat sportmanne en -vroue vertroud moet wees met bepaalde aspekte van sportsielkunde en dat hulle afrigters kennis moet dra van sportsielkunde. 'n Aspek soos motivering in sport baie belangrik geag word deur onderwysers sowel as sportleerlinge, terwyl angs in sport en aggressie in sport heelwat laer op die ranglys verskyn.

In order to achieve this goal, a theoretical as well as an empirical investigation were conducted. During the literature study, different aspects of sport psychology were analyzed and the role of the teacher was highlighted in each instance. During the empirical study ( in which 134 subject teachers and 235 sport pupils participated) it was indicated that; Approximately 82% of the subject teachers coaching sport, had received training in coaching techniques, but only 16% had received training in sport psychology.
