Synopsis:

The goal of this volume is to use the data from IEA's Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) to investigate significant questions related to mathematics and science education as well as a number of methodological issues. The authors of the papers included in this collection come from 11 of the TIMSS countries, and they are prominent in their respective fields. The book should be of interest to readers interested in comparative education, mathematics and science education, curriculum and survey research methodology. A study such as TIMSS costs a great deal of money to carry out and, if the true value of that investment is to be realized, much more research of the kind reported in this collection is needed. The papers included provide insights into the impact that TIMSS has had in the participating countries. They also serve as excellent examples of the kind of follow-up research that is needed.
