Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the predisposition towards physical education of high school students attending to school sports and sportsmanship behaviors in physical education course. In this study, the subjects were 1049 high school students who participated in school sports. Personal Information Form, Physical Education Predisposition Scale (PEPS) and Sportmanship Behaviour Scale in Physical Education Course (SBSPEC) were used for data collection. The data were analysed by using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), Multiple Regression Analysis. In this study, the significance level was identified as p<. 05 and p<. 01. PEPS results showed that gender and type of organization variables as the sub-dimensions of self-efficacy are significantly different (p<.05) whereas attitude as other sub-dimension and the mean of PEPS did not show any significant difference. Also, SBSPEC results showed that gender variable is significantly different (p<.05) in terms of Exhibiting Positive Behaviours (EPB), Avoidance Negative Behaviours (ANB) and SBSPEC. However, there was no significant difference in type of organization variable. The analysis showed that there was a small and positive correlation between PEPS and SBSPEC. In the study, it was found that attitude and self-efficacy levels predict sportsmanship behaviors positively, low level and statistically significant in physical education course. The attitude and self-efficacy levels of high school students who participated in school sports were positive, low level and statistically significant predictive factors of sportmanship acts displayed through physical education classes.
