The research aimed to build a tool to measure the teaching efficiency of physical education and sports teachers in the school environment in the intermediate education stage, and this by verifying its validity and applicability, as the tool includes in its final form 33 standards that meet the standards of honesty and stability, and covers 6 main dimensions, namely scientific knowledge competencies, and the efficiency of planning and formulation competencies, and the efficiency of implementation, the efficiency of evaluation and follow-up, the competencies of effective communication management and class, and the efficiency of professional development. The model was applied to 355 teachers of intermediate education in the national west and the value of stability was 0.63, and from it we say that this measure has an acceptable constant, and the value of the GoF standard is equal to 0.42, which is greater than 0.36. Which shows a great matching quality of the study model. The researcher also concluded that all predictive units are more than zero, as their maximum value on the axis of planning competencies and goal formulation was 21%. The lowest value was also recorded on the professional development axis at 11% that can be judged to have an acceptable predictive ability. By calculating the effect size 2R and through the test results, we notice that all variables have values of “f2” that exceed 0.35≤ Es, the effect size is large in all variables. In light of these results, we recommend that you take advantage of this tool to measure and evaluate the teaching competence of the physical education and sports teacher in the school environment.
