The purpose of this research was to conduct a comparative study on cognitive, emotional and psycho-motor performance in terms of quantitative and descriptive Evaluation among second grade elementary students in the City of Dezfool. The target population comprised all second grade classes in Dezfool from whim 50 classes of descriptive evaluation plan as well as 50 classes of quantitative evaluation plan were randomly selected through multi- phase cluster sampling method. Measurement instruments used were: (1) Mathematics Science and Persian language students achievement tests, (2) Quality Of School life (QSL) questionnaire and Students reaction questionnaire toward classroom and the school for the assessment of effective characters. (3) Science and mathematics rating scales for Psycho-motor characteristics assessment. Independent sample T-test was used to analyze the data gathered. The results showed that although students' performance in descriptive evaluation plan in cognitive variables was as the whole higher than the quantitative evaluation plan students. the difference in math and Persian language performance was not significant. The diffrence in science test was significant at α=0.05 leuel. Also the performance of students in descriptive evaluation plan on emotional variables such as quality of school life and students reaction toward classroom and school by α=0.05 was significantly higher than that of the students scores in quantitative evaluation. There were significant differences between two groups in terms of psychomotor domain variables and differences were in favor of students descriptive evaluation at α=0.05.

Locus of control is a personality characteristic which refers to a constellation of beliefs and expectations pertaining to people or factors controlling rewards and punishments in one’s life. Some people have an internal and others hold an external locus of control. Those with internal locus of control believe that hard-working and ‘responsible behavior’ yield positive outcomes. In contrast, those having external locus of control maintain that ‘out-of-control’ factors such as ‘unknown forces’, ‘chance’ and ‘other people’s influences’ control the outcome of their behavior. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between parents’ attitudes toward child rearing and children’s locus of control. In this study, three types of attitudes toward child rearing were tapped, namely Dominating, Ignoring and Possessive. The Sample which was randomly selected from students studying in Dezful’s Guidance Schools, included 217 third-grade boys and girls. Nearly, all four hypotheses and their subsidiary derived hypotheses were confirmed. Based upon these findings, a number of suggestions regarding development and modification of children’s locus of control are offered to parents and teachers.

Locus of control is a personality characteristic, indicating that every individual has a set of beliefs regarding people and things that control reinforcements and punishments in his or her life. Some people have internal orientation: believing that skill, diligent behaviour and responsibility will result in positive outcomes. are there individuals have external orientation assuming that events are are determined by chance. Powerful others and factors unknown and uncontrollable. The letter group believe outcomes are beyond their control. the aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between locus of control and academic performance. The sample consisted of 217 male and female 3rd grade guidance- School students of the city of Dezful, selected by multi-stage random sampling method. The general hypothesis after study was that there is a positive correlation between locus of control and academic performance. The results of the present study show that the correlation coefficient for females are 0.20 to 0.40, for males 0.24 0.67 and for the whole sample are 0.22 to 0.46. All the coefficients are significant at p < 0.05.
