The results revealed that physics teachers attitudes, in general, were weak with a mean score of (55.8%). There was no effect of either gender, teaching experience, or educational qualification on their attitudes.
Based upon these results, it is recommended that knowledge of how to use different evaluation methods should be a part of physics teachers certification and training, and that more effort should be exerted to convince them to use different evaluation methods.
