The questionnaire had been transmitted to the 319 teachers of the fifth and the sixth grade in 41 schools, and among them, 250 teachers had sincerely answered and their answers were used for research data. SPSS WIN ver.10.0 program was used for all the statistics, and it was interpreted by the level of significance, 5 percent. The results of this study can be summarized as follows:1. The teachers who have 10 to 20 year careers tended to have more positive attitudes to accept the performance assessment.2. In most cases, the performance assessment was done more than 3 times a semester.3. The tools of performance assessment were usually used by teacher's guide and the period of performance assessment was informed before its practical application.4. One of the most difficult problems of the performance assessment was that it needed a lot of time and efforts. And it is said that one way of its improvement measures is to reduce the number of students per class.
