This research is descriptive and of type validation. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to investigate factor structure of the instrument, and Cronbach’s alpha and Test-Retest method were employed for examining the reliability. The results of Principal component with Varimax rotation showed 4 factorial factorial solutions that explained and 51.33% of whole variance. he results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit of the model. The Cronbach’s alpha of the instrument was 0.82 and the correlation coefficient of test-retest was 0.72 that showed acceptable reliability for the instrument. In general, the results show a good fit of Butler's goal orientation in the Iranian society and the reliability of this questionnaire that make it a suitable measure for determining teachers’ goal orientation for screening purposes.
