Abstract

This paper focuses on finding any possible link between self-efficacy expectations and teaching interests in a sample of trainee physical education teachers, regarding the obese pupil. The paper designed two questionnaire aiming at the assessment of self-efficacy expectations on teaching overweight students (Prieto, 2007) and the various teaching concerns found in teaching (Mcbride, 1993). A sample of 436 physical education teachers from eight universities in Andalusia was researched. The results show that the informants with higher self-efficacy expectations for teaching overweight students declared themselves more concerned about meeting their students' educative, social and emotional needs, carrying out the tasks proper to their jobs and meeting the teaching standards.
