Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the school principals’ evaluation system from the view point of principals and teachers. This descriptive survey included all principals and teachers (n=13625) in Isfahan. The sample of this study comprised 60 principals and 120 teachers chosen through stratified random sampling. The research instrument was the current official education evaluation scale comprising 18 Likert items. The reliability was estimated to be 0.87 for principals and 0.94 for teachers. In order to analyze the data both descriptive and inferential statistics (mean, frequency, standard deviation, t-test, analysis of variance and factor analysis) were employed. The result of the study revealed that all three main factors received a weight above the average. MANOVA has also indicated that there was no significant difference between the view of points of principals and teachers about the evaluation checklist.
