Abstract: The curriculum standard is a discipline-specific articulation of talent cultivation, offering a na-tional guideline for teaching as well as an important basis for teachers' teaching. The measurement of teach-ers' implementation of curriculum standards is an evitable requirement for examining the impact of curriculum reforms, analyzing factors of curriculum implementation, and assessing the quality of teaching. It can be di-vided into three dimensions:understanding and motivation, action and strategy, outcome and reflection. Each dimension is subdivided into specific sub-dimensions. Based on the sub-dimensions, a large-scale question-naire is developed. After rigorous sampling, we conducted a set of analyses, including non-rotating principal component analysis, exploratory factor analysis, validity analysis and reliability analysis. The analyses lead to a final questionnaire with strong reliability and validity.

Key words: teachers' implementation of curriculum, curriculum standards, questionnaire development
