Objective: To culturally adapt and verify the reliability of QUSES. Method: The Experts Committee realized the Cultural adaptation and content validation. The Cronbach\'s alpha and its stratification were tested for reliability. It was applied to 100 teachers with an average of 44.45 (9.62) years of age. Results: Words and phrases were modified, maintaining the equivalences of the original version. Question of knowledge was the most modified due to regulatory differences between countries. Reliability data was similar to the original instruments and were considered good. The lowest values were α = 0.741 for subscale of efficacy of results, α = 0.812 and α = 0.849 for subscale of involvement (cognitive). Conclusion: QUSES was culturally adapted for Brazilian elementary schools teachers presenting good reliability.
