Toker, Turker; Green, Kathy – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021
This study provides a comparison of the results of latent class analysis (LCA) and mixture Rasch model (MRM) analysis using data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study -- 2011 (TIMSS-2011) with a focus on the 8th-grade mathematics section. The research study focuses on the comparison of LCA and MRM to determine if results…

Wetzel, Eunike; Xu, Xueli; von Davier, Matthias – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
In large-scale educational surveys, a latent regression model is used to compensate for the shortage of cognitive information. Conventionally, the covariates in the latent regression model are principal components extracted from background data. This operational method has several important disadvantages, such as the handling of missing data and…

Kiray, S. Ahmet; Gok, Bilge; Bozkir, A. Selman – Online Submission, 2015
The purpose of this article is to identify the order of significance of the variables that affect science and mathematics achievement in middle school students. For this aim, the study deals with the relationship between science and math in terms of different angles using the perspectives of multiple causes-single effect and of multiple…

Bouhlila, Donia Smaali; Sellaouti, Fethi – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2013
In this paper, we document a study that involved applying a multiple imputation technique with chained equations to data drawn from the 2007 iteration of the TIMSS database. More precisely, we imputed missing variables contained in the student background datafile for Tunisia (one of the TIMSS 2007 participating countries), by using Van Buuren,…

Urick, Angela; Wilson, Alison S. P.; Ford, Timothy G.; Frick, William C.; Wronowski, Meredith L. – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2018
Purpose: To advance a framework of indicators that promotes implementation of math standards under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), we tested a conceptual model of the resources and processes within schools that influence the opportunity to learn mathematics (OTL) in the classroom using a recent administration of the 2011 Trends in…

Arikan, Serkan; van de Vijver, Fons J. R.; Yagmur, Kutlay – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
Large-scale studies, such as the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), provide data to understand cross-national differences and similarities. In this study, we aimed to identify factors predicting mathematics achievement of Turkish students by comparing to Australian students. First, construct equivalence and item bias…
