This study was to examine the big-fish-little-pond effects (BFLPE) on mathematics achievement by the students' positive attitude toward mathematics (PATM) of Taiwanese eighth-grade students in the Trends of International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). The SLM (students like learning mathematics), SVM (students value mathematics), and SCM…

E. R. Dempster – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Breadth and depth of curriculum are important for success in science teaching and learning. Curriculum theorists recommend less breadth and more depth than overloaded, superficial science curricula. This study investigates breadth and depth in the official biology syllabi in the seventh to eighth or ninth years in four diverse jurisdictions,…

This study examined the efficiency of using the same rating scale categories in measuring affective constructs for students with distinctive levels of achievement. Data used in this study came from the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011, as a case, on the three scales that were designed to measure eighth graders' attitudes…

Hencke, Juliane; Eck, Matthias; Sass, Justine; Hastedt, Dirk; Mejia-Rodriguez, Ana Maria – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2022
Using IEA's Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019 data, this brief explores the relationship between students' gender, their confidence and achievement in mathematics and science, and their aspirations to pursue careers in these fields. We find that more boys than girls at grade 8 want to have a mathematics- or…

Stephens, Maria; Erberber, Ebru; Tsokodayi, Yemurai; Fonseca, Frank – National Center for Education Statistics, 2022
This Statistics in Brief (SiB) uses data from the 2011 and 2019 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and explores how achievement gaps between high- and low-performing 4th- and 8th-grade students in the U.S. and other education systems have changed over time. Achievement gaps are defined as the differences in scores…

Hwang, Sunghwan; Son, Taekwon – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2021
The relationship between students' attitudes toward mathematics and mathematics achievement has garnered tremendous attention from researchers. However, there is a degree of inconsistency in the findings regarding this relationship. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the profiles of students' attitudes toward mathematics and examine their…

House, J. Daniel; Telese, James A. – Education, 2019
Results from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) assessments have shown that students in Korea displayed high levels of science achievement. In order to understand those achievement outcomes, a number of studies have examined science teaching in Korea and explored the effects of teaching practices on student…

Pang, JeongSuk; Seah, Wee Tiong – ECNU Review of Education, 2021
Purpose: Given the unclear relationship between cognition and affect, this article reports on a study exploring how the conative variable of values may provide some explanation for students with excellent performance despite a negative attitude toward mathematics. Design/Approach/Methods: The study reported in this article represents Korea's…

Kutlu, Omer; Yavuz, Hatice Cigdem – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2019
Studies based on response processes of individuals can provide information that supports the assessment and increases the validity of the items in the scale or tests. The purpose of this study is to present the extent to which the student response processes are effective in identifying and developing the characteristics of the items in an…

Keller, Lena; Preckel, Franzis; Brunner, Martin – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
It is well-documented that academic achievement is associated with students' self-perceptions of their academic abilities, that is, their academic self-concepts. However, low-achieving students may apply self-protective strategies to maintain a favorable academic self-concept when evaluating their academic abilities. Consequently, the relation…

Rappleye, Jeremy; Komatsu, Kikaru – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2020
East Asian students consistently top comparative assessments of academic achievement. Yet, rather than attempting to develop more sophisticated understandings of this difference, the most common reaction is to attribute East Asian performance to longer study hours and/or the attendance at schools focused on academic skill enhancement and test…

Chirkina, Tatiana; Khavenson, Tatiana; Pinskaya, Marina; Zvyagintsev, Roman – Issues in Educational Research, 2020
It is well established that family socio-economic status (SES) is strongly related to academic performance. Nonetheless, there is a group of children with high levels of academic achievement who come from disadvantaged family backgrounds. These children possess what is called 'academic resilience'. In our study, we want to see whether the two…
