Dear school administrator,

Thank you for participating in this study.

This questionnaire asks for information about:

School background information

School management

Teaching staff

Assessment and evaluation

Targeted groups

Learning environment and curriculum

School climate

If a country administers national options, another bullet point should be added (above) as required. 

This information helps illustrate the similarities and differences between groups of schools in order to better establish the context for students’ test results. For example, the

information provided may help to establish what effect the availability of resources may have on student achievement – both within and between countries.

The questionnaire should be completed by the principal or designate. It should take about 60 minutes to complete. 

For some questions specific expertise may be needed. You may consult experts to help you answer these questions.

If you do not know an answer precisely, your best estimate will be adequate for the purpose of the study.

Please note that the forward button used to proceed to the next question is located at the bottom right hand corner of your screen. In some instances you may need to scroll

down to the bottom of your screen to access this forward button.

Your answers will be combined with answers from other principals to calculate totals and averages. All information (or responses) you provide may only be used for

statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law [Education Science Reform Act of 2002

(ESRA 2002), 20 U.S. Code, Section 9573].

Dear science teacher,

Thank you for participating in this study.

This questionnaire asks for information about:

Background information

Your initial education and professional development

Your collaboration with teachers and parents

Teacher beliefs and attitudes

Science teaching practices

Your school

This information will help illustrate the similarities and differences between groups of teachers in order to better establish the context for students’ test results. For example, the

information provided may help to establish what effect the availability of resources may have on student achievement – both within and between countries.

The questionnaire should be completed by you only. It should take about 45 minutes to complete.

If you do not know an answer precisely, your best estimate will be adequate for the purpose of the study.

Please note that the forward button used to proceed to the next question is located at the bottom right hand corner of your screen. In some instances you may need to scroll

down to the bottom of your screen to access this forward button. 

Your answers will be combined with answers from other teachers to calculate totals and averages. All information (or responses) you provide may only be used for

statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law [Education Science Reform Act of 2002

(ESRA 2002), 20 U.S. Code, Section 9573]. 

To answer questions in this questionnaire, please consider the following definition:

Science includes the domains of physics, chemistry, biology, Earth science or geology, space science or astronomy, applied sciences and

technology either taught in your curriculum as separate science subjects or taught within a single ‘integrated-science’ subject. It does NOT include related subjects such as

mathematics, psychology, economics, nor geography. Please consider this distinction.

different subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, Earth and geology, space and astronomy, applied sciences and technology (e.g., engineering, robotics), or your school

teaches a general, integrated, or comprehensive science course (e.g., anatomy and physiology, biological and physical science).

Please note that the forward button used to proceed to the next question is located at the bottom right hand corner of your screen. In some instances you may need to scroll

down to the bottom of your screen to access this forward button. 

Your answers will be combined with answers from other students to calculate totals and averages. All information (or responses) you provide may only be used for

statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law [Education Science Reform Act of 2002

(ESRA 2002), 20 U.S. Code, Section 9573].

A good way to know if something is true is to do an experiment.

Some ideas in science today are different than what scientists used to think.

Ideas in science sometimes change.

Good answers are based on evidence from many different experiments.

There are some questions that scientists cannot answer.

It is good to try experiments more than once to make sure of your findings.

New discoveries can change what scientists think is true.

Sometimes scientists change their minds about what is true in science.

It is good to have an idea before I start an experiment.

One important part of science is doing experiments to come up with ideas about

how things work.

All international cycle racing events have a rule on wearing a bicycle helmet.

The local newspaper published an article about a boy not wearing a helmet who

was badly injured in an accident.

The instruction manual for the helmet says that on average, the mortality risk in

bicycle accidents can be reduced by about 70% by wearing a bicycle helmet.

Official statistics show that cyclists wearing a helmet suffer less injury in an

accident than cyclists without a helmet.

A scientific study conducted by a university showed that wearing a helmet

decreases the probability of head injuries.

Many parents want their children to wear a helmet.

(Please select one response in each row.)

Strongly disagree Disagree Agree Strongly agree

I am curious about new technologies.

Using new technologies stresses me.

I find it difficult to use new technologies – I do not know how to make them work.

It is up to me whether I can use new technologies or not – it has nothing to do

with luck.

I am always interested in using the latest technological devices.

When I am using new technologies, I am afraid of failing.

When I have problems with technologies, it is up to me whether I solve them or

not.

If I had the opportunity, I would use technological devices more frequently than

now.

I worry that I will break new technological devices rather than use them in the right

way.

In agriculture, genetically modified seeds can produce a higher yield. Genetic engineering may reduce biodiversity.

Today, it is possible to have a child through in vitro fertilization even

when natural conception does not work.

Using in vitro fertilization, geneticists can select which fetus will

continue development.

Nuclear power plants generate lots of electricity. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste.

Wind turbines generate electricity without any waste. Wind turbines are noisy and disfigure the landscape.

In social networks, people can share personal information and

photographs with others online.
