Sažetak
The paper examines primary school teachers’ self-assessment of their competencies
in teaching physical education (PE), with an emphasis on identifying the main
dimensions and factors that shape professional self-confidence. The results indicate
that teachers generally rate their abilities highly, particularly in motivating students
and organising activities. Two fundamental dimensions were identified: the
educational dimension, related to lesson planning and implementation, and the
evaluative dimension, focused on monitoring and assessing motor development.
Professional development and personal involvement in sports contribute to a
higher self - assessed competencies, whereas age and years of service show no
significant influence. Teachers who are active in sports display greater confidence
in teaching, which emphasises the importance of personal engagement in physical
activity. The lowest self-assessed competencies are in test design and assessment
criteria, indicating a need for additional professional development. The results
underscore the importance of strengthening evaluative competencies and enriching
initial teacher education in order to ensure high-quality and motivating physical
education classes.
