Determination of quantitative scores for educational activities can considerably play an important role in the university by increasing the motivation of professors to carry out their educational activities.

Results: The results showed that the number of classrooms, lesson plans, approved proposals, tests sent for analysis, revised curricula, virtual workshops and educational processes showed a significant increase compared to previous studied years (P<0.05). Conclusion: Implementation of educational record can increase and improve quantity and quality of education at the university. Universities can develop a similar record to increase educational faculty activities.
