Study Notes
Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS)
- TIMSS is an international assessment that measures country's effectiveness in teaching math and science
- It is conducted every 4 years
- It assesses learners in Grade 4/5 and Grade 8/9
- Measures knowledge in mathematics and science
- Gathers information about a learner's context for learning
TIMSS Curriculum Model
- Three aspects: Intended curriculum, Implemented curriculum, Attained curriculum
Intended Curriculum
- Mathematics and science knowledge expected to be learnt by learners
- Determined by countries' curriculum policies and publications
Implemented Curriculum
- Defines how the educational system should be organized
- Determines what is taught in classrooms, and characteristics of teachers
- How the curriculum is taught
Attained Curriculum
- What learners have learned
TIMSS 2019 Grade 5 Results
