Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to compare descriptive and traditional evaluation methods based on quartet evaluation standards (utility, propriety feasibility, and accuracy) from the viewpoint of elementary school teachers in Tehran city. In order to achieve this aim, and besides the review of literature, opinions of all teachers (40 persons) in executive schools of descriptive evaluation project were gathered through researcher-made questionnaire. The results of data analysis show that descriptive evaluation adjusts better to evaluation standards. In addition, among the mentioned standards, the efficiency standard represents more adjustments than feasibility standards with descriptive evaluation.
