Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS, formerly known
as the Third International Mathematics and Science Study) resulted from the American
education community's need for reliable and timely data on the mathematics and science
achievement of our students compared to that of students in other countries. TIMSS is
the most comprehensive and rigorous assessment of its kind ever undertaken. Offered
in 1995, 1999, and planned for 2003, TIMSS provides trend data on students'
mathematics and science achievement from an international perspective.
Teaching Mathematics in Seven Countries: Results from the TIMSS
1999 Video Study The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (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. In addition to the United States, participating countries include Australia,
the Czech Republic, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Students in these
countries were generally among the top-performing students on the TIMSS 1995 mathematics
assessment and, in particular, outperformed their U.S. counterparts. This report presents initial results
from the study.
Pursuing Excellence: Comparisons of International Eighth-Grade Mathematics and Science Achievement from a U.S. Perspective, 1995 and 1999 This report provides initial findings from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study-Repeat (TIMSS-R), a successor to TIMSS 1995. 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. In addition, initial findings on education-related contextual factors related to teaching and curriculum in 1999 are discussed.
