Philosophical foundations of evaluation epistemology in education in modern age and outstanding approach of Epistemology of this age in the field of evaluation: positivism approaches were examined in this study. The methodology of this study was documentary analysis. In order to answer to study’s questions, data gathered using appropriate forms, and analyzed by 5 traditional approaches. According to the thesis questions the main results are: in this intellectual system and in the issue of cognition, the main emphasis is recognition of real word and there is no discussion about intellectual recognition and use inductive tools(observation and experiment)for recognition. The five senses are the main principles for cognition and they are Positivist and objective in methodology and finally these result outcomes that they don’t have comprehensive validation because they not encompass all aspect evaluation in terms of components of epistemology.
