Call for Paper a Special Issue of the scientific journal HERJ
Topic:
Fair play and ethical issues in sport and education systems
In its Special Issue which will be focusing on fair play, sportsmanship, gamesmanship and ethical issues in sport (doping, cheating, etc.) and the education systems.
According to Coakley (1982) and Stevenson (1975), the theory that sport has a positive impact on physical, emotional and social development has long been known for many years. Although the belief in sport’s character-enhancing effect was incorporated into the public awareness, some researchers questioned this, arguing that sport may in some cases lead to antisocial forms of behaviours. Since 1975, numerous studies have been carried out on the subject, and various attitude scales have been developed and internationally validated. But where are we now, in 2021-2022, at the midpoint of a pandemic?
The rapid development of technology, the widening of the research world and the idea of much emphasized internationalization gave the opportunity for an international study of the meaning of fair play, about its associated moral values and norms.
It is a more popular topic, so we can find programs and studies in international literature which are suitable for measuring this. In the meantime, the question may arise: why has it become a central topic? Perhaps because of the growing perceptibility of moral and value losses in societies? Where are we now in this process? What do young people perceive from this inside and outside Europe? What does fair play, sportsmanship, gamesmanship and other ethic question in sport mean to them?
Research related to fair play in international literature can be divided into two large groups. On the one hand, a fair play program was developed in which different age groups, athletes and non-athletes were examined. They measured their attitude towards fair play, sportsmanship, gamesmanship at the beginning and end of the program.
The other group includes researches in which moral judgment and its development in sports were measured by different age groups among athletes and non-athletes. According to the previously described, moral behaviour also affects sportsmanship. In each case, the authors started from the view that sport has a positive influence on character and plays a decisive role in moral development, thus creating a sportsmanlike attitude.
In this special issue we call for original papers on ethics in sport and education systems, fair play and doping.
