A Content Examination of the TIMSS Results.

Wang, Jianjun

Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n1 p36-38 Sep 1998

TIMSS (Third International Mathematics and Science Study) is the largest, most ambitious study of comparative education ever attempted. Despite the TIMSS Subject Matter Advisory Committee's best efforts, not all test items truly reflect student math and science achievement. Some items have more than one correct response; some are not grounded in students' levels of cognitive development. (MLH)
