Abstract

A multivariate multilevel model was developed for secondary data analysis of 110,520 eighth grade students from 592 middle schools in China to examine the educational issue of consistency in science achievement across different science subjects among Chinese students and schools. Results indicated that Chinese students were highly consistent in science achievement across science subjects and this consistency did not depend on student and school characteristics. Meanwhile, Chinese schools were extremely consistent in science achievement across science subjects and this consistency did not depend on student and school characteristics.
