NOTE: Background data provided by teachers who provided science lessons to students. In the U.S. and most countries fourth-grade mathematics classrooms are the same as science classrooms. While most U.S. fourth-graders have one teacher for mathematics and science, there is a small proportion that have a different teacher for each subject. The international average is the average of the jurisdiction averages but does not include the benchmarking jurisdictions. Benchmarking jurisdictions are subnational entities that followed the same international guidelines as countries to participate in TIMSS. Apparent differences may not be statistically significant. Standard error is noted by s.e. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
