Peer reviewedCheng, Soh Kay; Seng, Quek Khiok – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 2001
Studied the mathematics achievement of boys and girls in four Asian nations that participated in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (Singapore, Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong). Findings support the interactionist model of D. Gerry (1996) in which biologically secondary mathematical abilities are posited to emerge only with…

Masini, Blase E. – 2001
The opportunity for U.S. students to learn algebra and geometry in the eighth grade was studied by looking at exposure to instruction using teacher reports of content coverage from a subset of 296 classrooms participating in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. Classrooms were classified according to the ethnic composition of…

Wang, Jianjun – 2002
Middle school data from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) are analyzed in this study to compare achievement differences between adjacent grades. To facilitate this computer-based analysis, a Statistical Analysis System (SAS) program has been developed to transpose matrices of the item scores in more than 40 countries.…

Peer reviewedPapanastasiou, Constantinos – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 2002
Examined the influence of parental and school factors on the science attitudes of 1,923 eighth graders from Cyprus using data from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Results suggest that the strongest direct influence on attitudes toward science is teaching, but exogenous factors (educational background of the family,…

Cozzens, Margaret B.; Fuhrman, Susan H. – Education Statistics Quarterly, 2001
Reviewing the results of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study-Repeat (TIMSS-R) shows that U.S. eighth graders are about average in mathematics and science when compared to students in other countries. The primary lesson from the TIMSS-R is that children learn what they are taught. (SLD)
