Quasi-Longitudinal Trends of Mediators and Asian Female Mathematics Performances: TIMSS Perspectives*
نویسنده
چکیده
Mathematics performances of Taiwan and Asian female students will be compared thoroughly based on specific mathematics problems solving abilities, including understanding, planning, executing and monitoring. In addition, their performances on routine and non-routine mathematics problems will be examined and compared. In other words, performances on standardized (multiple choices) items and alternative items (performance assessment) will be separated and examined. Quasi-longitudinal or stage-wise educational developments or changes in Taiwan educational systems and other Asian environments with respect to the changes of educational achievements across years will be modeled. Specifically, categorized mathematics scores and their scaled overall achievements will be analyzed. Developments of specific mathematics learning for TIMSS participants (countries) can be recorded individually and analyzed across different survey years. The changing trajectories are useful for educational interpretations and policy refinements.

In the western literature, mathematics achievement and its related student self-concept are important education outcomes reciprocally linked and mutually reinforcing. The reciprocal relation model is examined in this study to assess its generalization in a cross-cultural setting. Hong Kong is the site of choice because of its exposure to influences between British and Chinese cultures. A contex...
متن کاملMathematics Achievement among Malaysian Students: What Can They Learn from Singapore?
Malaysia is ranked 16 and 10 in mathematics based on the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 1999 and 2003, respectively while its neighbor, Singapore, used to be part of Malaysia until 1965, is ranked first in both years. Hence, it is the aim of this study to investigate what makes Singaporean students better in mathematics performance compared to Malaysian students. However, th...
