### 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].

### Never or almost never Some lessons Most lessons Every lesson or almost every lesson I develop and administer my own assessment. I administer a standardized test. I have individual students answer questions in front of the class. I provide written feedback on student work in addition to a grade. I let students judge their own progress.

Standardized tests are consistent in design, content, administration and scoring. Results can be compared across students and schools. This excludes teacher-developed tests. 

### Not at all Very little To some extent To a large extent I consider students’ individual improvement of performance since the beginning of the semester. I consider students' problem solving ability. I consider students' critical thinking ability. I consider students' performance in collaborative problem solving activities. I recognize students' effort; even if performance does not improve. I compare student performance in the current course to that of students from the previous course. I compare a student's performance to that of other students in the course. I compare students’ performance to written federal or state performance standards.

### I recognize exceptional academic merit (e.g., taking part in a national contest).

I use a set scale of percentages of correct responses to assess the students' performance. I consider the degree to which the student participates in the class. I consider the quality of homework. I base grades on standardized tests mandated by national, state or district authorities (e.g., the test in your state). I base grades on non-mandatory, publicly or commercially available standardized tests (e.g., SAT). I consider students’ behavior (e.g., disruptive or supportive behavior). I base grades on my overall judgement of student's learning.

### To what extent do you disagree or agree with the following statements regarding your school?

(Please select one response in each row.) Strongly disagree Disagree Agree Strongly agree The principal makes several formal classroom inspection visits each year. The principal works with teaching staff to review and interpret test scores. Instructional issues are seldom discussed during meetings of teaching staff. Teachers work together at the principal’s initiative to coordinate the instructional program within grades and between them. The principal is very active (e.g., he/she secures resources, arranges opportunities, and promotes staff development activities). The principal is highly visible throughout the school. In my school, all students and parents are aware of the academic standards. Teachers in my school expect high proportions of their students to do well on standardized tests. Teachers emphasize students' strengths and potential rather than focusing on their weaknesses. Students work is rarely interrupted during classes.

teachers and yourself? (Please select one response in each row.) Strongly disagree Disagree Agree Strongly agree We pursue the same educational objectives. We decide together what teaching materials should be used in lessons. Apart from end-of-term conferences, we rarely discuss what targets students are expected to achieve in science. We discuss the achievement requirements for science when setting tests. We communicate information about subject-related issues. We cooperate constructively on ways of teaching science. It is natural for us to cooperate on what homework to give to our students. We use our planning periods to work together. We exchange tasks that we used to create written tests. Our criteria for grading tests differ very little.

### How much do you disagree or agree with the statements below?

(Please select one response in each row.) Strongly disagree Disagree Agree Strongly agree 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.

### Joel is very good at cycling. He plans to prepare for the national Olympic preliminaries in two years' time. His coach advises him to use a bicycle helmet and now Joel has to

decide whether to buy one or not. 

### How strongly should the statements below affect Joel's decision to buy a helmet? (Please select one response in each row.) No effect Little effect Medium effect Strong effect 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.

### Section F: Using Technical Devices

### How much do you disagree or agree with the statements about the use of new technologies (e.g., tablet computer, smartphone,

Blu-ray player) below? (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.
