This study aims to examine the levels of attitudes toward sports among physical education and sports teachers. Accordingly, the study employs a correlational survey design. The sample consisted of 400 physical education and sports teachers working in schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the provinces of Ankara and Diyarbakır, who participated in the study on a voluntary basis. The data collection tools used were a personal information form prepared by the researchers and the Attitude Toward Sports Scale developed by Şentürk (2012). In addition to descriptive statistics, the data analysis utilized the independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA), and the Tukey post hoc test to identify significant differences. According to the research results, teachers’ attitudes toward sports showed significant differences based on the gender variable. In contrast, no significant differences were found in terms of work location, the institution where they work, age, years of service, educational status, administrative duties, or chronic health conditions. It was determined that as the number of weekly class hours increased, interest in sports and total attitude scores rose; teachers who exercised regularly had more positive attitudes compared to those who did not engage in sports. Additionally, it was concluded that teachers with gym memberships had higher levels of integration of sports into daily life and engagement in active sports, while an increase in daily screen time negatively affected attitudes toward active sports participation. Conducting qualitative and mixed-methods studies across different disciplines and using various variables could contribute to the field.
