The model of the study was supported by both qualitative and quantitative methods. 226 teachers and 881 students from the administrative districts of Adana participated in the study. As data collection tools, Alternative Measurement and Evaluation Questionnaire (AMEQ) developed by the researchers, themselves, and semistructured interview forms were used. As a result of the factor analysis on the AMEQ teachers forms, the subscales Learning through Research and Measuring the Learner Characteristics emerged; whereas, in the students forms, the sub-scales emerged were Learning through Research, Liking, Skill Development.
