Competence is defined as
having the knowledge, skills and attitude needed for a role (Balcı, 2005); teacher competencies are defined as the
knowledge, skills and attitude that will enable teachers to fulfill the demands
of their profession effectively and efficiently (MEB, 2008). When the
teaching profession is thought of as a profession of specialization, it can be seen
that special field education and qualifications should be sought in teacher
candidates. In this study, we aim to determine the rates of participation in
and possession of the physical education and sports special field competencies
for Physical Education and Sport Teacher candidates with undergraduate
education in the field of sport sciences obtained through the Ministry of
Education, Turkey. The research was conducted with a total of 1022 teacher
candidates who had been educated in the highest grades of the physical
education and sport teacher departments of 35 universities. In the study, the
Physical Education Teacher Special Field competencies, which were put into
effect by the Ministry of National Education and consist of six dimensions and
30 sub-competencies, were translated into the form of a measurement tool. In
the analysis of the data, values were expressed using frequency and percentages
and the t-test was used in binary comparisons. The significance level in the
study was taken as 0.05. According to the findings of the research, the average
participation score of physical education and sports teacher candidates in
teacher competencies was higher than the average possession score, and the
difference was found to be significant. When the teacher candidates' participation
rates were evaluated according to gender, the difference between the average participation
scores of male teacher candidates versus female teacher candidates was found to
be significant. This difference stems from the high scores of male teacher
candidates. When the rates of possession of competences of teacher candidates
were evaluated according to gender, the difference between the average score of
male candidates and the average score of female candidates was again found to
be significant, and again, this difference stems from the high scores of male
teacher candidates.
