This survey-correlational study was conducted to determine the personal and professional challenges and teaching effectiveness of Physical Education teachers in the Schools Division of Capiz, for the School Year 2025-2026. The participants of the study were the eighty-three (83) Physical Education Teachers randomly selected from a population of one hundred five (105) using stratified sampling, and twenty (20) students per Physical Education teacher were randomly selected using quota sampling in the Schools Division of Capiz. Data were gathered using researcher-made questionnaires consisting of 36 items for personal challenges and 39 items for professional challenges. These instruments were pilot-tested among thirty-six (36) Physical Education teachers in the Schools Division of Roxas City. Teaching effectiveness was measured using a 25-item standardized questionnaire adapted from Monserate (2018). The major findings of the study revealed that the levels of personal challenges and professional challenges of Physical Education teachers were both “high.” Likewise, the teaching effectiveness of Physical Education teachers was rated “high.” The results further showed that there was no significant difference in teaching effectiveness when teachers were grouped according to the levels of their personal and professional challenges. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between personal and professional challenges. However, no significant relationship was found between personal challenges and teaching effectiveness, as well as between professional challenges and teaching effectiveness. Based on the findings of the study, the primary output is the development of a Physical Education teacher support toolkit entitled PEdayon: A Support Toolkit for Managing Life and Work Challenges to Sustain Teaching Effectiveness.
