The present study attempted to investigate the effective factors in applying descriptive evaluation from Ardebil elementary schools second and third grade teachers’ point of view. The method was descriptive - correctional. The research population included 700 primary schools’ second and third grade teachers (260 teachers from the first district and 240 teachers from the second district). From this number, 300 teachers (150 male and 150 female) were randomly selected by cluster sampling. The data were collected through researcher – made questionnaires. The formal validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the specialists in the field and the reliability was calculated by K –Alfa (0.91). The data were analyzed by descriptive – inferential statistics methods (factor analysis). The result of the factor analysis indicated that 5 factors were significant from the point of view of teachers. From these 5 factors, psychological factors justified the highest percentage of the whole variance (21%). The other 4 factors had the following percentage of justification of variance, respectively: managerial factor (19%), educational (17%), procedural (7%) , and individual factors(4%).
