The questionnaire was developed which include two parts were applied to the participants. Descriptive statistics was used for the data analysis. Analysis was performed by SPSS software. Findings, obtained during research, are as follows: There is an insufficiency in terms of providing the willing participation to the in-service training programmes. Specific attention was directed to the translation of theoretical concepts into practical and applicable tools. There is a fundamental and principal insufficiency about the timing, conditions of the place and educational materials of the inservice training programmes. There are some problems about the trainers proficiency of teaching the subjects and adult education. There is a insufficiency related to evaluation of programme and success in in-service trainings in which physical education teachers participate. As a result there seems to be an insufficient level of in-service training activities for meeting the needs and expectations of physical education teachers. The in-service teacher training programme is a successful first step in improving the expertise of PE teachers to start and develop higher quality and more motivating assessment practices. Nevertheless, in order to generate durable change within daily PE practice, follow-up training sessions or counselling methods (e.g. through communities of practice) are essential to overcome implementation barriers. Development, adjustment and future directions for assessment are discussed.
