The questionnaire’s reliability and applicability were tested and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was found to be 0.91. Simple statistical techniques such as frequency and percentage (%) and Chi-Square (c) analysis were used in the assessment of the data. 0.01 and 0.05 level of significance was considered to be significant. According to the results, the factors used by teaches in the evaluation of students’ success did not show a significant difference in term of gender. The factors most widely accepted were “skills, knowledge, attitude and habits should be evaluated to the fullest extent”, school and extracurricular activities of the students should be evaluated as a whole”, each student should be evaluated according to his/her own physique and his/he participation in studies” respectively. A high percentage of teaches agree with the statements “evaluation of students should be done according to the form of observation” and “an attempt to use school facilities and tools should be taken into consideration”.
