Moreover, there were statistical significant differences in the teachers’ evaluation of their efforts due to the variable of gender, in favor of male teachers, under the domains of the Learning Content، Methods of Teaching and Methods of Evaluation. However, under the domain of Learning Objectives, there were no statistical differences.   There is also no statistical significant differences in the teachers’ evaluation of their efforts due to the variable of years of experience.
