This paper aims to determine the degree of personal and cognitive competencies among physical education instructors in the Babylon Governorate, as well as the relative significance and arrangement of these competencies. To fit the goals and scope of the study, the researcher employed a descriptive technique. There were 661 male and female physical education teachers in the Babylon Governorate that were part of the study community, while the study sample was from physical education teachers in the Hashemite Education Department, numbering (167) male and female teachers for the academic year 2022-2023. Among the researcher's most significant findings is that: The study's findings make it evident that the mathematical averages and percentages are high in the two fields, as the proportion of all responses attained, respectively: cognitive competencies (77.2%), personal competencies (73.2%), and it is evident from the study's findings that the overall performance of the areas' skills was high because roughly 73% of respondents answered the questions. Among the researchers' most crucial suggestions is the following: Consider the list of personal and cognitive competencies as determinants for programs, preparation, development, and evaluation of physical education teachers. Use the list of personal and cognitive competencies for physical education teachers to enhance and develop their functional competencies.
