Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine whether physical education teacher candidates' self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes towards supervision differ according to gender and grade level (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades) and whether there is a relationship between self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes toward supervision. A total of 147 teacher candidates, 72 women, and 75 men participated in the research. The mean age of female teacher candidates is 21.51, while it is 21.65 for males. The Demographic Information Form, Teacher Sense of Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, and Attitudes Toward Supervision Scale were used to collect data in the study. The findings obtained in the study revealed that the physical education teacher candidates' self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes toward supervision did not differ according to the variables of gender and grade levels, while the scores of perceived self-efficacy and attitudes toward supervision were high. In addition, it has been revealed that there is a positive and low-significant correlation between physical education teacher candidates’ self-efficacy perceptions and their attitudes toward supervision. As a result of the research, it was observed that the self-efficacy perceptions and attitudes of the physical education teacher candidates toward supervision were high, and the attitudes toward supervision increased as the perceived self-efficacy level increased.
