This survey study included 120 fifth grade elementary teachers sampled randomly from a population of 342 teachers in Yazd. The data collection instrument was a 25-item Likert scale questionnaire on teacher attitudes and beliefs about class control. Its validity was approved by a panel of experts of psychology and education. Its reliability was also estimated to be 0.68 using Cronbach’s Alpha. The data analysis method was independent sample t-test. The findings showed that there was no significant difference between teachers' attitudes and beliefs about classroom control in regard to their gender and teaching experience. As far as their major is concerned, a significant difference was observed between their attitudes and beliefs.
