Evaluation of student achievement as one of the pillars of the formal and public education system is very important. The change from quantitative to qualitative evaluation has been taking into consideration seriously and it is on the agenda of the Supreme Council of Education since the early years of 1980’s and with the approval of the Supreme Council of Education on 8th of September 2001 the possibility of its performance appeared. At first, the new model was piloted and gradually spread anywhere. During this study, many researches on the qualitative evaluation and its results in different cities have been done. Analyzing 30 researches in the field of qualitative evaluation, a comprehensive view was provided. Overall, researches have shown that this model did not reduce student learning. Moreover, in terms of reducing student stress it must be said that descriptive evaluation has been successful in this field.

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.
