Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the professional performance of teachers graduating from primary education in Farhangian University. This research was a causal-comparative method. The statistical population of this study included all teachers graduating from primary education in Farhangian University with experimental diplomas in mathematics and humanities in Shiraz. To determine the sample size based on Cochran's formula using simple random sampling method, 200 people in two groups (100 people with experimental and mathematics degrees and 100 people with humanities degrees) were selected. Data collection tool was Patterson (1990) Professional Performance Questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed at two levels (descriptive statistics and inferential statistics). At the statistical level, the mean and standard deviation were used, and at the inferential statistical level, the t-test of independent groups was used. The results showed that there is a significant difference between professional performance and its dimensions in teachers graduating from primary education from Farhangian University with experimental and mathematical diplomas with holders of humanities diplomas. The average of all dimensions of professional performance of graduate teachers with experimental and mathematical diplomas is lower than that of graduates with humanities diplomas.
