摘要：The aim of this study is to determine the ways in which the coaches who work in different branches communicate with parents and to determine the importance and importance of using these communication paths in terms of different variables.The study population is the same as the sample of the study and consists of 70 (41 Male 29 Female) coaches (permanent, contracted) who work in İzmir.In this research, cross-sectional approach is adopted from general survey models. The data were collected by Coşkun (2010) by means of scale form m Parent-Teacher Communication Paths ”, which was conducted for validity and reliability. The scale is 5-point Likert, consisted of 47 items of behavior and eight sub-dimensions aiming to measure the level of care and realization of communication with parents. As the data were normally distributed and n> 30, dependent t-test was used to compare the level of care with the parents, but the sub-groups were n <30 and non-parametric tests were preferred for the evaluation of other independent variables. The Kruskal-Wallis test was conducted for Mann Whitney-U, education and coaching level independent variables.As a result of the analyzes, a statistically significant difference was found in all sub-scales and total scores between the level of care of the coaches and the way of communication with parents (p <0.05). In the case of caregivers of parents with regard to the ways of communicating with parents, in the sub-dimension of socio-cultural activities in terms of gender argument, in the parent visit sub-dimension in terms of the educational level argument, in terms of the instructor-level argument, in the sub-dimensions of telephone-internet, parent visits, information-informing there was a significant difference (p <0.05).In terms of gender independent variables, there is a statistically significant difference between the sub-dimensions of telephone-internet, parent visits, home visits sub-dimensions, co-operative level, and telephone-internet and parent visits (p <0.05).According to these results, it can be said that the coaches cannot perform as much as the value attributed to the parents. In addition, it can be said that women are more concerned with socio-cultural activities than the ways of communication, the group with low level of education gives more importance to parents' meetings, while those with high levels of coaching tend to pay more attention to telephone, parent visits and informing-informing ways. In terms of the phenomenon of conducting communication paths, it is observed that males are better in telephone-internet, parental hierarchy and home-visit. It has also been found that telephone-internet and parent meeting paths are better performed as the seniority of coaching increases.
