Summary: | This research was conducted to examine physical education teachers’ levels of digital
burnout and perceptual fatigue during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: This study
was designed according to the quantitative research model and conducted within the framework of
the relational screening model. The research group consists of 504 physical education teachers, including 240 women and 264 men, who work in high schools and secondary schools in Adana and
Mersin provinces. Results: The results showed that the teachers working in high schools were in the
digital environment too much. At the same time, teachers stated that they did not feel stressed when
they were in a lot of digital/virtual environments. Another result of the study is that the variables of
daily internet usage time are partially effective on physical education teachers' digital burnout and
perceptual fatigue levels. Conclusions: Nowadays, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization, which is used in educational institutions as well as in other sectors, has become a necessity. This proves that it is necessary to measure the perceptual fatigue tendency, which is the precursor of many organizational behavior variables.
