Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the knowledge management of students in the field of sports sciences and their career planning. In the research, a correlational survey model—one of the general survey models of quantitative research approaches—was used. The research group consisted of 278 students studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University. The \\\"Personal Information Form,\\\" the “Attitude Scale Towards Knowledge Management” developed by Demir (21), and the “Career Planning Scale of Students Studied in Sports Sciences (CPS)” developed by Yavuz Eroğlu and Eroğlu (70) were used as data collection tools in the study. Before analyzing the data collected, a normality test was conducted, and it was determined that the data were normally distributed. Since the data showed a normal distribution, the parametric Independent Samples T-Test was used, and for comparisons among three or more groups, a one-way ANOVA test was used. In order to examine the relationship between the scales, the Pearson Correlation test was employed. As a result of the findings obtained from the research, it was determined that students’ levels of knowledge management and career planning were above average. Significant differences were found in knowledge management and career planning in terms of gender and department variables. While no significant difference was detected for knowledge management in terms of the age and grade level variable, a significant difference was observed for career planning. No significant differences were detected in knowledge management or career planning in terms of the variables of satisfaction with the studied department and the reason for choosing the department. Moreover, a moderate, positive, and significant relationship was determined between knowledge management and career planning.
