Using TIMSS 2007 Data to Examine STEM School Effectiveness in an International Context
Direct linkDirect link
Stanco, Gabrielle – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Because results from TIMSS 2007 showed a gap in mathematics and science achievement between students in the United States and those in the top-performing countries, TIMSS 2007 data were used to investigate how school effectiveness factors known to be strongly associated with higher STEM achievement operated in the United States compared to Chinese…
