Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between physical education teacher candidates' teaching efficacy and task-centered anxieties. Relational screening model was used in this research. The research group consisted of 228 prospective physical education teachers, 84 of whom were female (37%) and 144 were male (63%), who were educated in the 3rd and 4th grades in 5 different universities. Personal information form, Teacher Occupational Anxiety Scale and Physical Education Teaching Efficacy Scale were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data in the research; descriptive statistics were used. In advanced analysis; Pearson Moments Product Correlation Coefficient technique was used to determine the level and direction of the relationship between the teaching efficacy and task-centered anxiety levels of the physical education teacher candidates. In addition, whether the teaching efficacy levels of the physical education teacher candidates are predicting the task-centered anxiety levels were tested by multi-directional regression analysis. As a result of the analysis; It was determined that there was a moderate positive correlation between total teaching efficacy levels and task-centered anxiety levels, and when the results regarding the significance of regression coefficients were analyzed, only total teaching efficacy levels were significant and significant predictors of task-centered anxiety levels.
