RESULT
In this research, which is aimed to determine national athletes’ need for distance
education, their problems which they face in formal education also were discussed.
According to the diagnosis, we can say that sportsmen are having absence problem at
schools. And it’s determined that, those who don’t have this problem, fail their exams
because of the fact that they don’t attend the courses and have lack of subject learning.
This situation also affects national athlete students’ sportive performances in a negative
way; the absence problem leads the student to the failure both at school and in
competitions. As a result of this research, the need for preparing distance education
programmers in graduate programmers have come up for the national athlete students,
who study in School of Physical Education And Sport, to continue their education in a
more sufficient way, to improve their sportive performance on top level, to represent our
country with success on the international stage.
