摘要:This study was aimed to investigate the opinions of licensed swimming referees within the structure of Turkey Swimming Federation about referee training process and determine the level of their expectations. The study group was randomly selected by a total of 212 swimming referees (95 female and 117 male), and attended Development Seminar for Swimming Referees which was held in Antalya in 2016. “The Review of Referee Training Process and The Survey of Expectation Levels” developed by Bahadır Kayışoğlu in 2008 was used as a data collection tool in the study. Necessary formal permissions were obtained from Turkish Swimming Federation for the scale applied to the referees. In the analysis of the data, t-test was used for binary comparisons, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for multiple comparisons. SPSS Statistics 24.0 was used in the analysis of the data. The p-value that was less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. As a result of the research, it was found that some variables of swimming referees (age, gender, classification, professional experience, educational level, satisfaction level and the reasons to become a referee) have impacts on referees’ training processes, so it was determined that the referees had both positive and negative opinions regarding the referee training process.
