Introduction: Time management skills are an important indicator of the level of school management, teachers, and students. Time management involves managing work schedules through planning, organizing, and prioritizing to achieve the goals of these institutions. Time is the most valuable asset that individuals and organizations understand, and everyone constantly strives to use time efficiently and effectively. Similarly, teachers and students in schools, colleges, and universities are also seeking ways to acquire, utilize, or improve their time management skills.
Objective: This study investigates the influence of teaching experience on female teachers’ effectiveness in managing time during physical education classes in selected Palestinian schools. It also examines whether years of experience yield differences in time management proficiency.
Methodology: To achieve aims, the researchers adopted a descriptive analytical method design and employed a revised time management scale as the data collection instrument. The sample comprised 97 female teachers selected through stratified random sampling techniques.
Results: The findings revealed a high level of time management effectiveness among participants, with a mean score of 4.12. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in time management linked to teaching experience, with a p-value of 0.258.
Conclusions: Based on our findings, the researchers concluded that female teachers demonstrate a high level of competence in managing and utilizing time effectively during physical education classes. This indicates that effective time management in teaching does not depend solely on years of experience, highlighting the importance of training and basic teaching skills in ensuring productive and organized lessons.
