TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) 1998/99
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.

Results from New Zealand's participation in the repeat of the Third International Mathematics & Science Study.
This report is the first of the two-part series. The report was published in 2001 and describes trends in students' mathematics and science achievement between 1994 and 1998 in both international and national contexts. The report is divided into eight downloadable documents in PDF format available at the bottom of this page.
This report was published in 2001 and summarises a New Zealand study based on the Third International Mathematics and Science Study which involved mostly Year 5 students. Specifically, it provides comprehensive trend achievement information for Year 5 students in mathematics and science for two years - 1994 and 1998.
This report presents an overview of findings from TIMSS-98/99 (also known as TIMSS-R), a partial replication of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS-94/95).
This document provides preliminary feedback of trends in mathematics and science achievement between 1994 and 1998 in an international context.
