Abstract :
The recent research goal is to evaluate effective teaching applying signsscale about mathematic course in public high school and non- profitable inEsfahan city from the view of students. The present research wasdescriptive-survey. The statistical population of the study consisted ofpre-university students in high school. Using a targeted sampling method, 150students were randomly selected as the statistical sample. The main instrumentof data collection was a Course evaluation questionnaire. The collected datawere analyzed by descriptive statistics (percent) and inferential statistics(single variable t test, t-test, Yu-mann-Whitney test). The results showed thatthe non-profitable school students have assessed effective teaching applyingsign scale more than medium and public school students have examined such signsfewer than medium, regardless of all students gender and the kind of theirschools, the best effective teaching quality for math has been (thoughmultiply) at the end in order to improve the mathematic teaching quality basedon the research results, propositions has been presented to officials, ofnecessities and new course intermediate science establishment is math teachingwith its requested researches on the field of training and relevant combinationof training science with mathematic knowledge for such aim providing closerelation and collaboration between trying science university and mathematiccollage could be useful.
