The researchers hypothesizes that using the brainstorming strategy and the hypermedia technique has a positive influence on the development of teaching competence. The researchers adopted the descriptive survey research method for applying the teaching proficiency scale, and the experimental research method for applying the two methods prepared. The research population is represented by (385) teachers with a work experience of (5-10) years, out of the total sum of (745) physical education teachers in the province divided over (720) primary schools. The research sample consists of (24) teachers who have been selected randomly, and are divided into two experimental groups of (12) teachers each. The implementation of the methods prepared took place over a period of six weeks. The researchers concluded that the proficiency scale adopted enables them indeed of measuring teaching competences, and that both experimental groups resulted in the development of teaching skills, pointing out that the experimental group that used the brainstorming strategy resulted better than the experimental group which used the hypermedia technique.
