The purpose of this research was to find the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy in practical courses among physical education teachers. 124 male and 76 female physical education teachers were randomly selected. Bar-on Emotional and Self- efficacy job Questionnaires were used to evaluate the teachers’ attitudes. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to investigate the two by two relationships between variables at p<0.05 level. The results demonstrated a significant relationship between emotional awareness, empathy, and selfefficacy in theory courses. Teaching physical education teachers with respect to components of emotional intelligence was significant.
