Abstract
This is the second of 2 reports that look at the results of TIMSS 2023 and Australia’s performance. This report, Volume II, presents the results from the contextual questionnaires, and examines the home, school, and classroom contexts in which learning and achievement occur, as well as student attitudes. Each chapter focuses on different indicators concerning the school community; the school learning environment; mathematics and science teacher characteristics; mathematics and science classroom learning environments; and, students’ attitudes and beliefs and use of technology. Together, the different indicators of student and school life illustrate some of the many key aspects that make up the school experience. The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is an international comparative study of student achievement directed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). TIMSS was first conducted in 1995 and the 2023 assessment formed the eighth cycle, providing 28 years of trends in mathematics and science achievement at Year 4 and Year 8.
