Abstract :
Abstract The present study aims to investigate Khorasgan Islamic Azad University students' outlook about the extent to which their professors enlist such teaching effectiveness criteria (as lesson planning, implementation of teaching, classroom management, human relations, assessment, and optimal personality traits). To achive such end, a descriptive-survey research design was utilized. The target population comprised all senior students studying at this college of psychology and educational sciences, basic sciences, and agriculture. From the population, a sample of 165 students were randomly selected using the proportional stratified sampling method. A researcher-developed questionnaire with 41 five-option multiple choice questions fitted into the Likert scale was then employed for collecting the related data. The reliability of the questionaire was 0.89 which was calculated by Chronbach's alpha coefficient formula. While descriptive statistics was used to measure such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard of deviation values, inferential statistical techniques such as dependent t-test, independent t-test, one-variable t-test, ANOVA, t-hoteling and Tukey test were employed for analyzing and interpreting data. The findings revealed that the mean values obtained on the six variables under investigation for the professors teaching at the related colleges were 3.66,3.13,3.56,3.13,3.24 and respectively. As can be seen, only the mean value related to the classroom management variable is way above the specified average value. Overall, it was concluded that the teaching effectiveness of all professors in question has been average and that the professors' performance with all research questions has been meaningful for the three target colleges involved in the study.
