Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the altruism levels of the physical education teachers working in Kütahya. 105 physical education teachers, 53.3% female and 46.7% male, participated in the research. The altruism scale created by Ersan and Çabuker was used in the study. T-test and ANOVA were used for independent samples in the research statistics, and Bonferroni and Tamhane were used for the difference of subgroups (a = 0.05). In the normality tests conducted according to the variables, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H Tests were used for dependent variable results that did not show normal distribution (a = 0.05). According to the research results, it was found that there was a significant difference in the selfishness sub-dimension of female physical education teachers compared to male physical education teachers (p < 0.05). According to the results of the research, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the groups in all total scores according to the residence place of physical education teachers (p < 0.05). In the subgroup analysis, a significant difference was found between the self-sacrifice, selfishness and altruism scores of physical education teachers residing in the town and metropolitan area (p < 0.05). According to the variable of the alma mater, a significant difference was found between the graduates of college and the graduates of the Institute in favour of the graduates of the selfishness sub-dimension (p < 0.05). This revealed that college graduates displayed less selfish behaviour than the graduates of the Institute.

Summary
As the basic product of educational activities, it is understandable that even the simplest form of life will reach the desired point by putting great effort on human. The fact that the results to be obtained in the length and continuation of the training processes can be evaluated at the end of this long period of time put the studies into difficult processes. From this point of view, everyone is aware that altruism is as important as formation knowledge, field knowledge and general culture knowledge in the professional duties of teachers whose job is to train people but the altruism feature, which is not defined or tried to be given in implicit programs, can be seen among the indispensable criteria of the teaching profession. There are definitions obtained from basic sources related to the concept of altruism as the subject of the problem
