An Examination of E-Sports Literacy Levels of Law Faculty Students

The aim of this study wasto examine the e-sports literacy levels of law faculty students. The research is a descriptive study based on the survey model. The study group consists of 184 students (131 female, 53 male) studying at İnönü University Faculty of Law. Data were collectedusing a Personal Information Form and the E-sports Literacy Scale. Independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for data analysis. As a result of the study, the mean overall e-sports literacy scoreof the students was found to be 2.70. According to the gender variable, male students were found to have significantly higher e-sports literacy levels than female students(p < .05). Stu-dents who regularly engage in sports had significantly higher scores than those who do not(p < .05). Parental education level (p > .05) and social media usage duration (p > .05)were found to have no significant effect on e-sports literacy. In conclusion, it was determined that law faculty students have a moderate level ofawareness regarding e-sports, that e-sports literacy is influenced by gender and sporting habits, but is shaped more by personal interest than by parental education. Accord-ingly, it is recommended that, in parallel with the rapid growth of the e-sports sector, this field should also be included in law education curricula.
