TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) 1998/99
Publication Details
The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 1998/99, also known as the Third International Mathematics and Science Study-Repeat or TIMSS-R, was the second in a cycle of international comparative studies, providing participating countries with an opportunity to examine changes in mathematics and science achievement at the lower secondary (Year 9) level. The first assessment was conducted in 1994/95. Internationally, TIMSS-1998/99 was not as extensive as the first cycle, with only lower secondary students (Year 9 students in New Zealand) taking part. However, New Zealand chose to do a replication of the 1994/95 middle primary assessment with Year 5 students at the same time as TIMSS-1998/99 was administered to Year 9 students.
