Abstract
Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is an ongoing, cyclical international study of student achievement in mathematics and science. It is directed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). TIMSS measures the mathematics and science performance of students and collects a wide array of contextual information about students, schools, curricula and educational policies and systems. In analysing and reporting on these performance and contextual data, IEA aims to assist participants to make informed decisions to improve mathematics and science teaching and learning. The target populations for TIMSS are students in the fourth grade and students in the eighth grade.
