The Relationship between P.E. Teachers’ Self-Efficiency and In-Service Training

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-efficiency and in-service training. For this purpose, 242 P.E. teachers (134 males and 108 females) from east Azerbaijan province were selected randomly according to Morgan’s table. Two questionnaires were used to collect data. The reliability of the questionnaire was estimated using alpha Cronbach coefficient (?1= 0.89, ?2=0.81 respectively). The data were analyzed via Pearson correlation coefficient and independent t (significance level P?0.05). The results showed that there was no significant relationship between P.E. teachers’ self-efficiency and their participation in in-service training. In addition, there was no significant difference between the self-efficiency in P.E. teachers participating in scientific-proficient competitions and those not participating in the above-mentioned competitions. Finally, it could be concluded that in-service training has no impact on P.E. teachers’ self-efficiency
