ANALYSIS OF THE REASONS FOR THE ENROLLMENT
IN THE FACULTY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Višnja Djordjić
Faculty of Physical Education, Novi Sad, Yugoslavia 
Abstract. The selection of candidates for the faculty of physical education presents a complex and always current problem. The good "input" for the studies is a necessary prerequisite for the good "output" defined through the success in the studies and proffesion. Unfortunately, the entrance exams above all evaluate the capability of the candidates (cognitive and motor), without tackling the motivational sphere as a very important element in the selection. Aiming to determine the reasons which predominantly motivate the candidates to choose the faculty of physical education, a research was carried out on the representative sample of Yugoslav students of the final years at the faculties of physical education. The realized sample comprises the total of 315 respondents (183 men, 132 women). The method of theoretical analysis and empirical-nonexperimental method were applied in the research. Given results show that our sample represents a rather homogeneous whole which undoubtedly possesses certain qualities necessary for the successful studies and which comprises a notably similar motivational structure when it comes to the choice of faculty (profession), while the expected differences according to sex, success in the studies and the place of study were absent.
Key words:  faculty of physical education, selection, students, reasons for the enrollment

ANALIZA UZROKA USPEHA
NA FAKULTETU ZA FIZIČKU KULTURU
Selekcija kandidata za fakultet fizičke kulture predstavlja složen i uvek aktuelan problem. Dobar "ulaz" na studije nužan je preduslov dobrog "izlaza", definisanog kroz uspešnost u studiranju i profesiji. Prijemni ispiti, nažalost, procenjuju pre svega sposobnost kandidata (kognitivnu i motoričku), ne zahvatajući pritom motivacionu sferu kao veoma bitan elemenat pri selekciji. Sa ciljem da se utvrde razlozi koji odlučujuće opredeljuju kandidate da izaberu fakultet fizičke kulture, sprovedeno je istraživanje na reprezentativnom uzorku jugoslovenskih studenata završnih godina fakulteta fizičke kulture. Realizovani uzorak sačinjava ukupno 315 ispitanika (183muškarca, 132 žene). U istraživanju su primenjene metoda teorijske analize i empirijsko-neeksperimentalna metoda. Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da naš uzorak predstavlja dosta homogenu celinu, koja nesumnjivo poseduje određene kvalitete neophodne za uspešno studiranje, i koju povezuje i izrazito srodna motivaciona struktura kad se radi o izboru fakulteta (profesije), pri čemu izostaju očekivane razlike s obzirom na pol, uspeh u studiranju i mesto studiranja.
