The researcher used the descriptive survey method, as it is suitable for this type of study. The researcher selected a population and sample of physical education teachers in the Qalat Sukkar Education Department. The total research population consisted of 160 physical education teachers, from which the researcher randomly selected a sample of 130 instructors, representing 81.25% of the total population. These instructors held bachelor's and master's degrees. Thirty teachers were excluded due to study or sick leave. The researcher then distributed the questionnaire electronically to the research sample. The statistical package SPSS was used, employing the means, standard deviation, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient, and the chi-square test.
