Final student weight (TOTWGTS)The final student weight of each student k in class j of school i in stratum h is the product ofthe five student-weight components:TOTWGTS hijk= WGTFAC1 hix WGTADJ1S hix WGTFAC2S hijx WGTADJ2S hix WGTADJ3S hijkNote that <strong>ICCS</strong> has no student base weight component such as WGTFAC3S. Because allstudents were selected for the study as soon as their classroom was selected, their within-classselection probability was 1, which means that the within-class student weight was 1 for allstudents in the <strong>ICCS</strong> study.Calculating teacher weightsSchool base weight (WGTFAC1)Because <strong>ICCS</strong> sampled the same schools for the student survey and the teacher survey, theschool base weight of the teacher survey was identical to the school base weight of the studentsurvey.School non-response adjustment (WGTADJ1T)A school non-response adjustment for the teacher study was calculated in the same way asthe student non-response adjustment. Because schools could be regarded as participating inthe student survey but not in the teacher survey, and vice versa, the school non-participationadjustment potentially differed with respect to student data and to teacher data from the sameschool. To account for non-responding schools in the sample, a school weight adjustment forthe teacher survey was calculated as follows for each school i:s,enWGTADJ1T hi= hp–tch nhwhere n hs,eis again the number of sampled eligible schools and n hp–tchis the number ofparticipating schools in the teacher survey in stratum h.Teacher base weight (WGTFAC2T)In each school, teachers were randomly selected by the software WinW3S using a systematicrandom sampling method. However, in some countries, national centers chose to include allteachers of subjects related to civic and citizenship education or all home-room teachers in theteacher sample. In the following, those teachers that the country school coordinators identifiedfor selection with certainty are referred to as certainty teachers and the remaining teachers (usuallythe majority) as non-certainty teachers.The teacher base weight for each teacher l was calculated as:1 for certainty teacherscertTWGTFAC2T hil= hi– T his cert for non-certainty teacherst hi– T hiwhere T hiis the total number of teachers, T hicertis the number of certainty teachers, and t hisis thenumber of sampled teachers (certainty or not) in school i in stratum h.SAMPLING WEIGHTS AND PARTICIPATION RATES73
