The research tool used was a performance note card that consisted of (8) key mathematics skills. This also included a measure of motivation in mathematics achievement, and the pre-implementation and post-implementation of the two research tools were carried out. The research study revealed a set of results, including: the efficiency of the training program proposal in providing mathematics teachers some of the skills of using the alternative assessment in instruction. There is also a statistically significant difference for the part of experimental group in the post-implementation of the measure of achievement motivation along with the high impact. Finally, some recommendations and suggestions were put forward. (Published abstract)
