The aim of this research is to make a comparison and grade analysis of the effective criteria in organizational learning. The latter is fulfilled using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) among the staff of educating and training organizations in high school level. 111 staff of educating and training organizations (managers, deputies and teachers) were randomly chosen. Templeton method and other organizational learning questionnaires, comprising eight factors: awareness, communication, performance assessment, intellectual cultivation, environmental adaptability, social learning, intellectual capital management and organizational grafting, were used to collect data. Some well-known statistical and decision making software were used to analyze the data. As a result of using Templeton, Lewis and Snyder structural method with eight factors, the highest score is assigned to awareness and the lowest is assigned to organizational grafting. According to the research findings, increasing the awareness among the staff of educating and training organization leads to an increase in learning in the mentioned organization and consequently it proves considerably effective and prominent in higher performance of the organization.
