Description
Definition
What is meant by ‘science’?
PISA is an international study, and in order to make comparisons between students and schools in different countries, it is necessary to have a common definition of ‘science’. For the purpose of this questionnaire, science refers only to the core science subjects of physics, chemistry, earth science and biology 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 engineering, technology, mathematics, psychology, economics, nor possible earth science topics included in geography courses. If in doubt as to whether a school subject other than physics, chemistry, earth science, biology or integrated-science is science or not, treat the subject as NOT being science.
