This study aimed to identify the scope of religion teachers’ mastery of the process of evaluation of students’ recitation of the Quran in elementary level schools, and the relationship of that to the following variables: field of study, years of experience and attending training courses. The researcher has used the descriptive-analytical approach to achieve the results of the study. A sample of 42 religion teachers from three educational areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was randomly selected. The results showed weakness of the religion teachers in the ability to evaluate students’ recitation of the verses of the Quran. There were no statistically significant differences between the average scores of the degree of religion teachers’ mastery of the process of evaluation with regard to the variables of educational area and number of training courses, while there was a significant difference in the field of study in general education in favor of the graduates of the Quran Memorization Schools.
