The study determined the instructional behaviour, innovative teaching practices, work engagement, and self-efficacy of Physical Education teachers in private Higher Education Institutions in SOCCSARGEN in facilitating Rhythmic Activities. It also determined the significant relationship of the dependent variables towards the self-efficacy of Physical Education teachers in facilitating Rhythmic Activities. This study employed a descriptive correlation analysis method with qualitative data to describe the variables and the relationships that occur naturally between and among them. The data were gathered through a survey questionnaire and administered to 100 PE teachers who are teaching Rhythmic Activities. The data gathered were analyzed through weighted mean and Pearson r correlation. An interview was also conducted by the researcher to further investigate the underlying problem and to confirm and intensify the findings of the study. The results of the study revealed that generally, the instructional behaviour, innovative teaching practices, work engagement, and self-efficacy of Physical Education teachers were high in extent. However, there were specific areas that were found to be weak and need improvement. The findings of the study also revealed that there was a very high positive significant relationship between the dependent variables towards self-efficacy. Meanwhile, in terms of the significant difference in the extent of self-efficacy across the profile of the respondents, the result reveals that there are no differences or there are no fine distinctions when it comes to their self-efficacy in facilitating rhythmic activities. Given the overall results, the study had recommended that a professional training program which was formulated based on the findings of the study.
