TIMSS 2003
To provide more information about the mathematics and science questions included in the TIMSS 2003 assessment, the second edition of the TIMSS Frameworks includes a range of examples of assessment items (selected from extra field-test items), along with sample student responses.
TIMSS-Repeat (TIMSS-R) or TIMSS 1999
The TIMSS 1999 Video Study examines classroom teaching practices through in-depth analysis of videotapes of eighth-grade mathematics lessons. More ambitious than the earlier TIMSS 1995 Video Study, the TIMSS 1999 Video Study provides rich descriptions of mathematics teaching as it is actually experienced by eighth-grade students in seven countries.
This document presents highlights of results, based on the full report of the TIMSS 1999 Video Study that examines classroom teaching through in-depth analysis of videotapes of eigth-grade mathematics lessons.
This provides mathematics findings from TIMSS-R.
This provides science findings from TIMSS-R.
Conducted in 1999, TIMSS-R provides information on U.S. progress toward improving mathematics and science achievement in the 8th grade during the years since TIMSS (1995). Eighth-grade students in 38 countries participated.
This eight-page brochure summarizes the most important findings from TIMSS-R.
The TIMSS-R Benchmarking project provides the 27 participating states, districts, and consortia of districts with TIMSS data that enables them evaluate their own mathematics and science programs in comparison to the 38 TIMSS-R countries.
This Working Paper compares the eighth-grade science and mathematics portions of NAEP 2000 with TIMSS-R and the scientific literacy and mathematics literacy portions of PISA.
This report provides initial findings from TIMSS-R. The report details findings on the performance of eighth-grade students in mathematics and science in 1999, as well as changes in mathematics and science achievement in participating nations between 1995 and 1999.
TIMSS (1995)
This report presents the methods and findings of the Videotape Classroom Study, a video survey of eighth-grade mathematics lessons in Germany, Japan, and the United States.
This brochure highlights findings from the 1995 TIMSS Videotape Classroom Study. This exploratory project collected videotaped records of eighth-grade mathematics classroom instruction in three countries: Germany, Japan, and the United States. Findings provide rich contextual information that adds to our understanding of eighth-grade mathematics teaching and learning.
This in-depth report focuses on the eighth-grade findings from the 1995 Third International Mathematics and Science Study, with an emphasis on the place of the United States among the participating nations. It examines overall U.S. student achievement, the achievement of various subpopulations within the United States, and instructional practices of U.S. eighth-grade mathematics and science teachers.
This is a summary of the main findings of TIMSS at fourth grade, eighth grade, and the final year of secondary school.
The report, the third volume in a series of three reports entitled, "Pursuing Excellence," allows us to see how U.S. students fare relative to their international counterparts in a test of general mathematics and science knowledge at the end of secondary schooling. It also lets us compare across countries those students who have taken advanced mathematics and science courses.
This report presents the major findings from TIMSS at the eighth-grade level.
This report presents findings from the TIMSS' tests, questionnaires, and curriculum analysis performed at the fourth grade. Twenty-six nations participated in the fourth-grade assessment.
