Instructional Time Spent on Physics
This exhibit presents principals’ and teachers’ reports about the instructional hours per year that were spent on physics instruction. The principals provided the number of school days per year and the number of instructional hours per day, and the teachers provided the weekly amount of instruction in physics. As explained in “About the Measure,” the data were combined to estimate yearly amounts of instructional time in physics for each country. As might be anticipated, these estimates vary somewhat from the levels of instructional time set as a matter of policy.
