Science Education in Self-Contained and Non-Self-Contained Elementary Science Classes

This data brief focuses on science education in grades 3–5. Specifically, it compares several indicators when science is taught in two settings: (1) self-contained classrooms, where the teacher is responsible for teaching all core subjects to one group of students, and (2) non-self-contained classrooms, where a teacher teaches science to more than one group of students.

All reports are available in PDF format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don’t already have Acrobat Reader, you can download it for free from Adobe’s Website.
