| 1 Most of the education systems represent complete countries, but some represent subnational entities; examples include two Canadian provinces (Ontario and Quebec), a component of the United Kingdom (England), the U.S. state of Florida, and a few individual cities (such as Abu Dhabi within the United Arab Emirates). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 Students were asked how often they used a computer or tablet to do schoolwork "(including classroom tasks, homework, studying outside of class)" in each of the following three places: "at home," "at school," and "some other place." The frequency choices were "Every day or almost every day," "Once or twice a week," "Once or twice a month," and "Never or almost never." If students had no access to a computer or tablet at home, and their frequency at "some other place" was at least "once or twice a month," they are classified as having access to a computer or tablet outside of school only at some other place. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) scores are reported on a scale from 0 to 1,000, with the scale centerpoint set at 500 and the standard deviation set at 100. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 The international average includes only education systems that are members of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), which develops and implements TIMSS at the international level. "Benchmarking" education systems are not members of the IEA and are therefore not included in the average. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 Data for Canada include only students from the provinces of Manitoba, Newfoundland, Ontario, and Quebec. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6 National Target Population does not include all of the International Target Population. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7 Met guidelines for sample participation rates only after replacement schools were included. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8 National Defined Population covers 90 to 95 percent of National Target Population. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9 National Defined Population covers less than 90 percent of the National Target Population (but at least 77 percent). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10 Norway collected data from students in their ninth year of schooling rather than in grade 8 because year 1 in Norway is considered the equivalent of kindergarten rather than the first year of primary school. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11 U.S. state-level data are based on public school students only. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12 Did not satisfy guidelines for sample participation rates. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: Countries and other education systems were required to draw probability samples of students who were nearing the end of their eighth year of formal schooling (counting the first year of primary school as year 1), provided that the mean age at the time of testing was at least 13.5 years. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
