Abstract :

The present research is aimed at representing the living experiences of the elementary teachers regarding the feedback components in the descriptive evaluation(qualitative). The research was performed using the phenomenological qualitative approach. So, 15 elementary teachers were selected by the desirable sampling method to participate in the semi-structured interview.The data   analysis was done by qualitative content analysis metthod .At first , 60 concepts were extracted which were reduced to 18 semantic units after grouping and integrating the same items and finally grouped into 5 main subjects of learning improvement during teaching and learning, self -direction in learning, student’s co-direction in learning, making the parents engaged, revelation of learning at the end of learning. The findings were affirmed by the guiding professors and some participators regarding the dependability of the research findings and confirming the findings of interview analysis. Therefore, it is suggested that the strategy of integrating of evaluation and teaching by developing the feedback process should be more focused in instructing the teachers for the deeper development and establishment of this evaluation pattern.
