About This Assessment
Teacher's Professional Activity Questionnaire Test

Teacher Professional Activity Questionnaire Test

This questionnaire is designed to assess key aspects of teachers’ professional engagement and work-related behaviors in educational settings. The Teacher Professional Activity Questionnaire provides a brief, structured self-report approach to evaluating patterns of involvement, initiative, and role-related practices that may inform professional development planning.

The measure includes 45 items and typically requires about 9 minutes to complete. It is attributed to Lee S. Shulman and may be used for individual self-reflection or as part of broader staff assessment processes. Results from the Teacher Professional Activity Questionnaire are intended to support identification of relative strengths and areas for improvement in professional functioning, and should be interpreted in context alongside other relevant information (e.g., supervisory input, workplace demands, and available supports).
