While all previous results were surprisingly consistent across countries, using the parental education instrument in the employment regression yields statistically insignificant estimates in eight countries (Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Sweden).
Although a comprehensive review of instrument quality in educational research in general (or biology education in particular) has not been performed, a few noteworthy reviews of science education instruments exist and provide a useful vantage point from which to view our GBE assessment quality findings (Britton and Schneider, 2007; Fraser, 2007; Liu, 2009, 2010).
Films are a highly attractive teaching instrument and an appropriate teaching method in health education.
The vast majority of WS children participate in musical education and instrument playing; they show heightened emotional reactions to music and express high rhythmic creativity [10] [12].

There appears to have been a lack of clarity among community workers about participatory education, its instruments and methods.
Student learning and attitudinal outcomes were assessed both quantitatively, using standard physics education research instruments, and qualitatively, using student surveys and a series of postsemester interviews.
For example, in his review of 50 science education measurement instruments reported in refereed publications since 1990, Liu (2009) found that 100% included validity evidence, and 88% contained reliability evidence.
