Bu araştırmanın amacı, Covid-19 döneminde devlet ve özel okul gibi farklı kurumlarda çevrimiçi, geleneksel ve karma eğitim gibi çeşitli eğitim uygulamalarıyla ders veren beden eğitimi öğretmenlerinin Covid-19 korku düzeylerini incelemektir. Araştırmaya toplam 273 öğretmen katılmıştır. Çalışma verileri Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. SPSS 25.0 paket programı ile yapılan analizlerde veriler normal dağılım gösterdiğinden, bağımsız gruplarda ikili küme karşılaştırmaları için parametrik yöntemlerden biri olan t-testi ve ikiden fazla küme karşılaştırılmasında tek yönlü varyans analizi uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda katılımcıların kurum, Covid-19'a yakalanma, Covid nedeniyle bir yakınını kaybetme ve eğitim türü değişkenlerine ile Covid-19 korku düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır. Cinsiyet değişkeninde ise kadın katılımcılar lehine anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Beden eğitimi öğretmenlerinin Covid-19 korku düzeylerinde eğitim kurumları ve eğitim uygulamaları arasındaki farklılıkların anlamlı olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
