ÖZET
Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, spor bilimleri perspektifinde e-Öğrenmeye yönelik tutumlar ile öğrenme stilleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi, demografik ve teknolojik değişkenler bağlamında incelenmesidir.
Materyal ve Metod: Bu çalışmanın örneklemini, COVID-19 pandemisi veya Kahramanmaraş-Hatay depremleri sürecinde spor bilimleri alanında en az bir yarıyıl süreyle e-Öğrenme sistemlerini kullanan gönüllü 836 öğrenci oluşturdu. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu, e-Öğrenmeye Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ve VARK Öğrenme Stili Envanteri kullanıldı. Araştırma verileri 2021 ve 2024 bahar dönemleri aralığında hem dijital bir platform hem de yüz yüze kağıt yöntemiyle toplandı. Elde edilen araştırma sonuçları, IBM SPSS (v27) programı kullanılarak analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Analizler neticesinde, spor bilimleri öğrencilerinin e-Öğrenmeye yönelik tutumları ile öğrenme stilleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu, çevrim içi öğrenme ortamlarında en güçlü ilişkinin işitsel öğrenme stilinde olduğu belirlendi (p<0.001). Bununla birlikte öğrencilerin cinsiyet, yaş, öğrenim görülen bölüm, sınıf düzeyi, şahsi bir bilgisayara sahip olma ile çevrim içi öğrenme sistemlerinde kullanılan cihaz tercihine göre e-Öğrenme tutumlarının ve öğrenme stillerinin anlamlı düzeyde farklılaştığı tespit edildi (p<0.05).
Sonuç: E-Öğrenmeye yönelik tutumlar ile öğrenme stilleri arasında pozitif ilişkiler bulunmakla birlikte, çevrim içi öğrenmede motivasyon ve memnuniyet tutumları ile işitsel öğrenme stili arasında güçlü bir ilişki vardır. Ayrıca, spor bilimleri öğrencilerinde cinsiyet, yaş, akademik birim, sınıf düzeyi gibi demografik değişkenler ile teknolojiye erişim, elektronik cihaz tercihi gibi yapısal faktörlerin e-Öğrenmeye yönelik tutumlarda etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşıldı.

ABSTRACT
Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between attitudes towards e-learning and learning styles from a sports science perspective, and to examine this relationship in the context of demographic and technological variables.
Material and Method: The sample for this study consisted of 836 volunteer students who used e-learning systems for at least one semester in the field of sports science during the COVID-19 pandemic or the Kahramanmaraş-Hatay earthquakes. The data collection tools used in the study were a personal information form, Test of E-Learning Related Attitudes Scale (TELRA) and VARK Learning Style Inventory. Research data were collected between the spring semesters of 2021 and 2024 using both a digital platform and a face-to-face paper method. The research results obtained were analysed using the IBM SPSS (v27) programme.
Results: The analyses revealed that there were significant positive correlations between sports science students' attitudes towards e-learning and their learning styles, with the strongest correlation in online learning environments being found in the auditory learning style (p<0.001). However, it was also found that students' attitudes toward e-learning and learning styles differed significantly based on gender, age, department of study, class level, ownership of a personal computer, and device preference in online learning systems (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Although there are positive correlations between attitudes towards e-learning and learning styles, there is a strong correlation between motivation and satisfaction attitudes in online learning and the auditory learning style. Furthermore, it was concluded that demographic variables such as gender, age, academic unit, and class level, as well as structural factors such as access to technology and preference for electronic devices, are effective in shaping attitudes towards e-learning among sports science students.
