Data file: prePIRLS 2011 - Population 1 - Teacher Background - All Countries v1.0
The teachers of the students who were sampled for PIRLS 2011 and prePIRLS 2011 were administered a questionnaire with questions pertaining to their background and their teaching practices in the classes of the sampled students. Each teacher was asked to respond to a questionnaire for each class taught that contained sampled students. The teacher background data files contain one record for each teacher and class combination. In the teacher background data files, each teacher has a unique identification number (IDTEACH) and a link number (IDLINK) that is specific to the class taught by the teacher and to which the information in the data record corresponds. The IDTEACH and IDLINK combination uniquely identifies, within a country, a teacher teaching a specific class. Thus, students linked to teachers identified by the same IDTEACH but different IDLINK are taught by the same teacher but in different classes. The teacher background data files cannot be merged directly with the student data files, and they do not contain sampling and weighting information, nor achievement scores.
It is important to note that the teachers in the teacher background data files do not constitute a representative sample of teachers in a country, but rather are the teachers who taught a representative sample of students. The teacher data, therefore, should be thought of as attributes of the students to which they are linked, and should be analyzed only in conjunction with the student-teacher linkage data files. Chapters 2 and 3 of the PIRLS 2011 User Guide describe student-level analyses combining the teacher data and the student-teacher linkage data files with the IEA IDB Analyzer software, as well as with SAS programs.
