It is a fact that teacher candidates all over the world must meet certain conditions in order to work as permanent staff in public institutions. It has been stated in many academic studies that the teacher appointment conditions vary from country to country and show similarities. In our country, there are articles and books that examine the teacher appointment conditions in many teaching branches. Important suggestions were presented at the point of solu- tions to the problems identified by these academic studies, and as a result; many changes were made in the teacher appointment processes.

The purpose of this book; One of the necessary conditions in the appoint- ment of physical education and sports teachers, we tried to discuss the opin- ions of the Physical Education Teaching Field Knowledge Test (ÖABT) by physical education and sports teacher candidates, the course program and contents in the universities where they are educated, and the solutions to elim- inate the problems that may be encountered in the appointment of teachers by determining the compliance levels with the exam question distributions. In this way, the Student Selection and Placement Center of the Republic of Turkey (ÖSYM), which carries out the exam, will be an important resource book to guide the university and academic staff who train physical education and sports teacher candidates, as well as physical education and sports teacher candidates.

As the author of this book, I owe it to once again express my gratitude to all public and private institutions, private and legal persons who help us access the necessary visual, auditory and textual resources in the creation and preparation of all chapters.
