TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) 1994/95 Publications
Publication Details
The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 1994/95 (previously known as the Third International Mathematics and Science Study) was the first in a cycle of studies that gave participating countries the opportunity to examine their students’ achievement in mathematics and science relative to that of students in other countries. The study was also designed so that it could provide countries with an opportunity to measure trends in mathematics and science achievement in subsequent cycles. This first cycle covered achievement at three educational levels: middle primary (Years 4 and 5), upper primary and lower secondary (Years 8 and 9), and students in their final year of schooling (Years 12 and 13). In addition, a sub-sample of students from Years 5 and 9 participated in the performance assessment component of TIMSS.
