Abstract
Researchers who contribute to the development of the sports industry and are expected to expand the knowledge in the relevant field by adding new information to the sports sciences literature should include the sports management programs of vocational schools that train professionals for the sports sector as a sample group according to the purpose, scope and structure of their research, and higher education programs that train professionals for the sports industry should be included in their studies. It is important to include all levels of institutions in relevant research. In this study, academic research in the field of sports sciences, in which sports management programs providing associate degree education at vocational schools were selected as the sample group, aimed at training qualified professional staff to meet the needs in the sector, were examined. In the research, a literature review was conducted and studies on vocational school sports management programs were searched in Google Scholar, Dergipark and YÖK Thesis databases. As a result, it has been concluded that in the research conducted in the field of sports sciences, very little space has been given to sports management programs that train professional personnel for the sector as associate degree programs, and these programs have not been sufficiently included in the research as a sample group. Researchers who contribute to the development of the sports industry and are expected to expand the knowledge in the relevant field by adding new information to the sports sciences literature should include vocational school sports management programs that train professional staff for the sports sector as a sample group in their studies according to the purpose, scope and structure of their research.
