Teachers pension, Part-time, "days-out"

I am in the teacher's pension and have work part-time for many years.
My employment history mentions "days out" as the days I haven't worked. These numbers vary enormously and I was wondering how these are calculated?
I obviously go to work every day but don't do a full time ,
What is in their eyes a full day, how do they decide how many days I didn't work?
I need to check these are correct, but how?
Any help gratefully received,
The TP web site is not at all helpful in this matter.
I have also been trying to sort out lost additional pension and that has been horrendous,
so being to able to understand and check "days out " would be helpful

    Days out are Calculated based on your fractional FTE (full time equivalent) contract as a part-time teacher. For a full-time teacher they will be given 365 pensionable days in a particular year. For a part-time teacher the number of days allocated will be based on the formula:-
    365 x (1 x part-time fraction) for that particular year.
    Your TPS pension service statement should show number of pensionable days for each year. Add any non 365 years together and divide by 365 to work our your actual pensionable service to date. Your pension will be calculated at some point in the future based on your best FTE salary average over 3 years
