The aim of this research is to examine the efficacy perceptions of physical education teachers and of physical education teachers who transferred from primary school teaching. The efficacy perceptions of physical education teachers and of physical education teachers who transferred from primary school teaching have been examined in terms of gender, in-service training status, type of school secondary-high school , the location of the school, the school's physical education class infrastructure and the actively involved sports branch variances. A total of 268 physical education teachers who work in the province of Kayseri participated in the screening model survey conducted in 2013-2014 academic year, 46 of them had transferred to physical education teaching from primary school teaching. The data of the survey has been gathered by means of “Efficacy Scale of Physical Education Teachers” which was developed by Ünlü et al in 2008. According to the research result, while the efficacy perceptions of most of the physical education teachers are "good enough"; the efficacy perceptions of the primary school teachers who transferred to physical education teaching are lower than those physical education teachers whose primary branches are physical education. In addition, while there has been a significant correlation between most of the physical education teachers' efficacy perception and gender, in-service training status, the location of the school, the school's physical education class infrastructure and actively involved sports branch; no correlation has occurred in terms of school types.
