The study was designed in a longitudinal survey model of quantitative study methods. The study group consisted of 122 students (52 female students, 70 male students) who attended the first grade of Sarıkamış Department of Sports Management, School of Physical Education and Sports, Kars Kafkas University in Turkey during the 2016- 2017 academic year. To detect the differences, data collection tools were employed four times for the same students during the first grade of 2016-2017 academic year, the second grade of 2017-2018 academic year, the third grade of 2018-2019 academic year and the fourth grade of 2019-2020 academic year. As data collection tools,“The Communication Skills Scale” (CSS) developed by Korkut (1996) and Empathic Tendency Scale (ETS) developed by Dökmen (1988) were used. The data were analyzed by using the Bonferroni post-hoc comparison test, independent t-test, analysis of one-way variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation coefficients. The result found that both students’ communication skills and emphatic tendency levels were high, their 3rd grade communication skill scores were higher in terms of grade/time variable, their emphatic skill scores were higher in the 3rd and 4th grades, their scores of communication skills and emphatic tendency did not differ in terms of age and gender variables and a positive correlation existed between communication skills and emphatic tendency at all levels.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Sports management, communication skill, empathic tendency, longitudinal. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [alidursunaydin11@gmail.com.

Communication skills, which people have and can improve with education, have been gaining importance more and more in today’s world in relation to fast growing technology and social change.  \nThe definition of communication varied among scholars, but the widely agreed point is the common meaning of the feelings, thoughts, attitudes, knowledge and behaviours (Ersanlı and Balcı, 1998) . Various meanings may be ascribed to communication; such asthe transfer of knowledge, feelings, skills through  \nsymbols or search for a meaning or exchange of the facts (Cüceloğlu, 2013 ; Oskay, 1994) . Dökmen (2005) defines communication as a process in which the participants produce knowledge/symbols, transfer them to each other and try to understand and interpret these messages. Communication constitutes one of the most crucial elements through which humans adapt themselves to the environment (Yüksel, 1997) . Overcoming barriers during the process will narrow communication gaps in human relations and help maintain healthy relationships. Besides; solving problems that may arise among humans is too related to defining this problem better (Riesch et al. , 2003) .  \nHumans are social beings and continue their lives in  \nAfr Educ Res J 936  \nthe social organizations that they build. Relations and interactions in these organizations are only possible through communication. Communication is one of the most crucial elements necessary for humans to adapt themselves to the environment (Cüceloğlu, 2013) .  \nTo","cbCaiqhztfTHyymQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqhztfTHyymQ","pdf",247134,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study reviews communication skills and empathic tendency levels among students in the sports management department using a longitudinal approach.\"},{\"question\":\"How were data collected and how many times?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected four times for the same students across four academic years (2016–2017 through 2019–2020) using the Communication Skills Scale and the Empathic Tendency Scale.\"},{\"question\":\"What relationships and group differences were found?\",\"answer\":\"Students’ communication skills and empathic tendency levels were high; communication skills increased by grade/time, empathy scores were higher in the 3rd and 4th grades, no differences appeared by age and gender, and a positive correlation existed between communication skills and empathic tendency at all levels.\"}]","African Educational Research Journal - Longitudinal review of communication skills and empathic tendency levels among sports management students | PDF",1792071098,25]
