COPUS Data for Teaching Practice of Chemistry in Secondary schools in Rwanda

The dataset comprises the classroom observation data collected in 10 secondary schools of Gasabo district, Rwanda. Using the Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS). In total are 30 observations correspond to 30 teaching period as one chemistry class was observed per school three times at different moments between May to July 2019. The duration of the class period is 40 minutes. Schools were selected to represent the geographic location of the Gasabo District. The focus is the second grade of the secondary school in Rwanda (S2). The null hypothesis was that there is no significant difference in both teaching and learning activities in chemistry classes based on the time spent on each activity in relation to the active or passive learning and teaching process. The observations were recorded in each 2-min time interval.
