The final scale in last part of questionnaire asked them to bear in mind a particular teaching and learning process they judged deep and effective and to indicate to Likert 4 points scale the degree to which what ASMs exhibited their perceptions to the each of the items. Pilot study has been done in order to have enough validity and reliability (87% Chronbach Alpha correlation coefficient). The ASMs responses were analyzed for the purpose of the identifying the USDL purposed by each of the 35 items. Their responses were first analyzed for the identifying those items, most frequently and highly rated. Following, thus, factor analysis were performed to identify the factors which affect the USDL. Six areas were investigated and were named ASM’ characteristics, university student characteristics, academic activities, teaching process, learning process and classroom atmospheres.
