Summary:

The teaching activities of teachers play a crucial role in improving the quality of educational activities and overall educational outcomes. Accurately assessing the current state of these activities helps identify areas for improvement, thus promoting teacher development programs focused on specific shortcomings and ultimately enhancing the quality of education. This paper presents the results of adapting the Teaching Practices scale by Ainley and Carstens [1] and applying it to assess the current state of teaching activities among general education teachers in Vietnam. The results indicate that the scale meets the necessary measurement standards and can be used to evaluate the current state of teaching practices. The research also reveals that teachers frequently engage in actions that positively impact students’ learning outcomes, reflecting a high level of teaching quality among the participants.
