Özet:

The main purpose of this study is to reveal the beliefs of self-sufficiency according to the variables of gender, the department of education received, their status in the branch of sport they do, and status of receiving initial teacher training of physical education and sports teacher candidates.This study, where the relational screening model was used, was carried out with a total of 224 physical education and sports teacher candidates, with these being students of the physical education teaching department, coaching education department students who have received their initial teacher training, and students of the sports management department studying at the Balıkesir University Physical Education and Sport College.The "Teacher Self-Sufficiency Scale" developed by Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk-Hoy (2001) and adapted to Turkish by Çapa, Çakıroğlu and Sarıkaya (2005) was used as the data collection tool in the study with the "Personal Information Form" prepared by the researcher as a means to collect data in the study. When the averages from the “Teacher Self-Sufficiency Scale (TSSS)”,  which is the scale to evaluate them in a total of 24 articles and 9-point likert type and that measures the self-sufficiency levels of candidate teachers, are used, the lowest score that can be received is 1 and the highest is 9. The average being close to 9 mean that the self-sufficiency of the teacher is high. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the original scale is 0.93. The total reliability coefficient of the scale in the study done was determined as 0.98.In the analysis of the data, frequency and percentage distribution, arithmetic mean and standard deviation, "significance test of difference between two means" (t test) and one-way analysis of variance were used in comparison of two groups. Post Hoc test values were used to show as to from which group the difference is derived when there is a difference between the groups. A level of significance of 0.05 was considered in the study. According to the findings obtained from the study, the average scores of the self-sufficiency level of physical education and sports teacher candidates participating in the study were found to be quite adequate with 6.12±1.73. Furthermore, according to the variables used in the study, statistical differences were found between the self-sufficiency levels of the participants in favour of female participants according to gender, in favour of physical education teaching students in variables between department studied, and in favour of national sportspeople according to status level in the sport they do between the groups.
