Prediction Level of Physical Education Teachers' Interpersonal Self-Efficacy Levels on Their Time Management

In this study, it was aimed to determine the prediction level of physical education and sports teachers' interpersonal self-efficacy levels on their time management. For this purpose, data were collected from 220 physical education and sports teachers, 94 of whom were female and 126 were male, working in the city of Batman in the academic year 2019-2020. While 133 of the teachers, whose data were collected, work as permanent teachers, 87 of them work as contracted, substitute or paid teachers. Physical Education Teachers' Interpersonal Self-Efficacy Scale and Time Management Inventory were used as data collection tools. The Physical Education Teachers' Interpersonal Self-Efficacy Scale was developed by Esentiirk et al., consisting of 32 items and three sub-dimensions that are In-School Relationships (ISR), Family Relationships (FR) and Environmental Relationships (ER). The Time Management Inventory developed by Britton and Tassser was adapted to Turkish by Alay and Kocak, and it was arranged by Gozel to be applied to primary education teachers. There are three sub-dimensions of Inventory: Time Planning (TP), Time Attitudes (TA) and Time Wasters (TW). The calculated reliability coefficients show that the data collected regarding the subscales are reliable enough. In the analysis process of the study, stepwise regression analysis was made based on the data related to the sub-dimensions of both scales, and the variables that seem to have not contributed to the model after the analysis were removed from the model. It was determined that ER scores of physical education and sports teachers were a significant predictor of TP scores, but ISR and FR scores were not a significant predictor of TP scores. In addition, it was understood that FR scores and ISR scores of physical education and sports teachers were not a significant predictor of TA, besides, ER scores significantly predicted TA, but the level of prediction was low. On the other hand, it was understood that the ISR score of physical education and sports teachers significantly predicted the TW score, while the other two variables, FR and ER, had no effect on the TW score. these results, some suggestions were given.
