The aim of this study is the adaptation to Turkish culture of "Questionnaire for Self-Evaluation of Teacher Effectiveness in Physical Education (SETEQ-PE)" developed by Kyrgiridis et al. in 2014. In accordance with this purpose, after the translation process, the questionnaire was applied to 110 teachers who work for institutions affiliated to Eskişehir National Education Directorate and after that Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is made. After the factor analysis 5 items were removed from the scale. SETEQ-PE that is used in this study consists of 6 subscales and 21 items. When fit indices of the scale are examined it can be said to be a good fit. Total Cronbach Alpha value of the scale is .930. The sub-objectives of this study are to compare the SETEQ-PE scores of physical education teachers who work for institutions affiliated to Eskişehir National Education Directorate in terms of gender, length of service, school level, length of service at current school and availability of sports facility. T-test is used when analysing the data in terms of gender, school level and availability of sports facility; ANOVA is used when analysing the data in terms of length of service and length of service at current school. Statistically significant difference was found at Application of the Content of Physical Education, Teaching Strategies and Lesson Implementation subscales in terms of gender; Student and Teacher Assessment, Application of the Content of Physical Education, Use of technology, Teaching Strategies, Lesson Implementation subscales in terms of length of service; Student and Teacher Assessment, Application of the Content of Physical Education, Use of technology, Teaching Strategies, Lesson Implementation subscales in terms of school level; Student and Teacher Assessment and Use of technology subscales in terms of length of service at current school; Student and Teacher Assessment, Application of the Content of Physical Education, Use of technology, Teaching Strategies, Lesson Implementation subscales in terms of availability of sports facility (p<.05). As a result it can be said that SETEQ-PE (BEÖE-ÖD in Turkish) is a valid and reliable scale for Turkish Culture.
