In recent years, the number of studies on teaching and learning Natural Science in the 2018 General Education Curriculum has increased rapidly, however, the number of studies on the current situation of teaching and learning this subject in schools has been limited. To address this research gap, the article aims to analyze the current situation of teaching and learning Natural Science at secondary schools in Thuong Tin District, Hanoi. The article employs a mixed-research approach and convergent parallel mixed method design, which collects and analyzes 17 secondary data from 5 secondary schools, a survey by questionnaire with 60 school managers and teachers, and in-depth interviews with 10 school managers and 15 teachers. The research results show the current situation of teaching and learning activities in Natural Science in the following aspects: awareness of the importance of the subject, objectives and learning outcomes, curriculum and teaching and learning content, teaching and learning methods, teaching and learning forms, test and assessment of students’ performance, facilities and equipment. Research results are significant in terms of adding new understanding about the current situation of teaching and learning Natural Science in secondary schools in different socio-economic contexts, contributing to implementing the 2018 General Education Curriculum successfully.
