The most commonly used instrument for measuring teaching effectiveness is the G S Kang rating scale. The literature on teacher effectiveness is extensive, indeed almost unmanageable for general teacher but very scanty in case of physical education. The physical education teacher Effectiveness Evaluation Scale for teachers had been used for data collection. This scale was developed by Dr. G.S. Kang in 1981. The objectives of the study was to compare the teaching abilities of physical education male and female teachers in high and senior secondary schools and to compare the teaching abilities of male and female physical education teachers of rural area. The mentioned tool was given to the chosen sample of 450 physical education teachers (225 male and 225 female). The teachers were contacted in their respective schools. In addition to 450 teachers involved in the study. the value of Mean and Standard Deviation of physical education middle school teachers (131.57 and 14.52) and senior secondary school teachers (165.08 and 13.44) respectively. Calculated value ‘t’ = 8.46 (significant at 0.05 level of confidence). It shows significant difference between middle and senior secondary school teachers of physical education of Rajasthan. It is observed that the male and female teachers of senior secondary school are more effective than middle and high schools. It appears that male and female teachers of senior secondary schools are having better qualification and good knowledge about physical education, which provide them job satisfaction and increase their effectiveness.
