A close examination of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 1995 results showed that fourth grade students in Cyprus, Hong Kong and the USA who used computers most frequently in the classroom were the students with the lowest achievement in their countries. Previous studies we conducted showed similar results for 15-year-old students in various countries that took part ...

Mathematics education has been the subject of considerable international comparative research, mostly focussed on pupil achievement but also examining teaching methods, curricula, and so on. In all this, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the role of teachers has emerged as a key influence on pupil learning. Given that the development of pupils’ capability in geometrical reasoning continues to be an i...

Zusammenfassung Gemäß der Wahrnehmung insbesondere von Hochschullehrenden verringern sich die Fähigkeiten Abiturientinnen und Abiturienten im Fach Mathematik seit Jahrzehnten beständig. Allerdings liegen bisher kaum empirische Untersuchungen zur Trendentwicklung Mathematikleistungen in gymnasialen Oberstufe vor. Um Frage nachzugehen, ob vermutete negative empirisch nachweisen lässt, wurden Hess...

This study examined the factors that determined science achievement of fourth-grade students on Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019 USA. The data were retrieved from TIMSS international database imported to R program for manipulation. EdSurvey package was used conduct multilevel analysis, taking plausible values outcome variables, weighting into account. Level 1 p...

Shrinking achievement gaps is very important in educational and social progress. The TIMSS provides information on the achievement gaps among different countries in mathematics and science. For Taiwan, Based on the result of TIMSS 2003, there was an excellent average performance in Taiwan. However, the proportion of low achievers was high and the overall students’ learning interest and self-eff...

Analyses of TIMSS data have, naturally enough, largely concentrated on comparisons of overall attainment between and within countries. There is however a huge range of data collected, around an educational framework, and there is substantial scope for secondary analyses on other themes. This presentation describes the result of one such investigation, on the degree of within-school clustering o...

Using techniques of natural language processing to assist the preparation of educational resources for language learning has become an important field. We report two software systems that are designed for assisting the tasks of test item translation and test item authoring. We built a software environment to help experts translate the test items for the Trends in International Mathematics and S...

The aim of the presented study was to conduct an analysis of TIMSS 2003 database and to determine how negative school factors, such as aggression, are associated to the mathematical and science achievement of students. The analyses were conducted separately for national and international data. National analyses for Slovenia show significant associations between math and science achievement and ...
