In order to determine professional self-esteem of the participants, personal information formdeveloped by the researchers and ¡°Scale of Professional Self-Esteem¡± developed by Ar cak (1999) have been used. Professionalself-esteem levels of teachers have been compared in terms of their genders, ages, marital status, place of work (province,district, village), professional service period, number of children and types of schools, in which they work (primary, secondaryeducation).SPSS 16.0 statistics package software has been used for calculation and evaluation of the obtained data. The data has beensummarized in percentages (%) and frequency tables. Test of normality for the data has been performed through One¨CSampleKolmogorov¨CSimirnov test and it is assumed that the data shows normal distribution. Therefore, the data has been analyzedfrom parametric tests through independent sample-t test and One Way ANOVA. In this study, error level has been accepted as0.05.It is observed that there is a statistically significant difference between female teachers and male teachers when professionalself-esteem scores of the teachers are compared in terms of their genders (P<0.05). As a result of these comparisons, it is seen that professional self-esteem scores of male teachers are significantly higher than professional self-esteem scores of femaleteachers. On the other hand, it is suggested that there is no statistically significant difference between teachers that work inprimary schools and teachers that work in elementary schools when their professional self-esteem scores are compared(P>0.05).Solution of problems experienced by physical and sports teachers, who have positive effects on students, with regard totheir professional lives may increase professional self-esteem of these teachers in order to meet the expectations in relation toeducation and to bring up an ideal young generation. %K Physical And Sports Teacher %K Professional self-esteem %K Primary Education %K Secondary Education %U http://www.selcukbesyo.org/dergimiz/index.php/JPESS/article/viewFile/21/46
