Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to determine the marginalization - isolation levels of physical education teachers and to examine these levels according to professional experience, gender and the school’s teacher population. A total of 339 physical education teachers participated in this research which were 114 female (33.6%) and 225 male (66.4%), working in 8 different cities of Turkey. Screening model was used in this research. As a data collection tool, personal data form and Physical Education Marginalization and Isolation Scale (PEMAIS) were used. In the analysis of the data collected in the study, in addition to descriptive statistics, a t-test of arithmetic means was conducted in independent groups in order to compare the values of marginalization and isolation sub-dimensions according to gender, professional experience and the number of teachers in the school. As a result, it has been observed that professional experience is an important variable in terms of marginalization and isolation, and that female teachers can cope with such situations more effectively.
