This study focused on the relationships between teacher characteristics and students' mathematics achievement in EU countries, including Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Slovenia, Sweden, and Turkey, which are the only EU countries participated in TIMSS 2015 at the eighth-grade level. The data consisted of the sample of 31,969 eighth-grade…

Fa Zhang; Yaoying Xu; Chin-Chih Chen – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2024
Research shows that motivation is a critical precursor to students' science achievement. However, research on the topic yields ambiguous results in different cultural contexts. While the positive association between motivation and science achievement has been evidenced universally, the relatively predictive effect and strength of different…

Ahmed Alsayer – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2025
The current research sought to identify important student achievement predictors from past literature, then use a publicly available dataset to assess the statistical contribution of technology factors above and beyond previously established effects. Using TIMSS data from Saudi Arabia, with data from 5,453 students in fourth grade mathematics and…

Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019 data revealed that Grade 8 science teachers in several Asian countries (Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, and South Korea) reported lower job satisfaction levels than the international average. For example, while Japanese Grade 8 students ranked among the highest in science…

Arife Sahin; Gözde Kurt; Sevda Yerdelen-Damar – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2025
The study aims to investigate how confidence in mathematics/science, amount of books in the home, gender, whether a student likes being in school, and computer software predicted mathematics and science achievements of students in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019. The sample of the study consisted of…

John Nyamunda – South African Journal of Education, 2024
The quality of education is a predictor of a country's economic performance -- which is why comparative international education surveys are important. South Africa performed poorly in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 2019. The score of 374 for mathematics and 324 for science is poor compared to the mid-point of…

Ayodele Abosede Ogegbo; Umesh Ramnarain; Joseph Krajcik – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Inquiry-Based Teaching Practice (IBTP) is an essential component of science education, and promoting its implementation is at the heart of various reform efforts. Even though science teachers regard IBTP as an essential pedagogical method, they rarely use it for various reasons. This study utilizes Bronfenbrenner's ecological framework to examine…
