Abstract :This study was conducted to examine the physical literacy attitudes of secondary school students. The study group of the research consisted of 458 secondary school students who continued their education in Izmir in the 2023-2024 academic year and were selected by simple random sampling. The 5-point Likert-type \\\"Physical Literacy Attitude Scale for Secondary School Students\\\" consisting of 34 items developed by Özgül, Semiz, and Kangalgil (2023) was used to determine the participants\\\' physical literacy attitudes. As a result, it was determined that the physical literacy attitudes of male students were higher than female students; the physical literacy attitudes of 7th grade students were higher than 5th grade students; and the physical literacy attitudes of students who participated in the school team were at a higher level than the students who did not participate. It was determined that there was no relationship between physical literacy attitudes according to the economic status of the family. When we look at the scores obtained from the items of the scale, it was determined that the physical literacy attitudes of secondary school students were at medium and high level with the average scores being close to high. As a result of the findings of this study, it is revealed that teachers and parents should be included in the process for the development of physical literacy attitudes. In particular, it is suggested that teachers should organise structured activities to raise awareness on this issue and parents should support their children\\\'s participation in physical activities.
