The purpose of this study is to find out to what extend teachers use instructional strategies. The scale used in examined in accordance with validity and reliability features. Data about construct validity is gathered through factor analysis and depending on component factorial analysis, three sub-dimensions (Teaching through Presentation, Discovery and Research-Examination) were reached.
