TIMSS 1995 International Database: Grade 8 -Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study

TIMSS 1995, the largest and most ambitious international study of student achievement conducted up to that time, was the first cycle of assessments of trends in students’ mathematics and science achievement, now known as the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study. Questionnaires gathered extensive information about the teaching and learning of mathematics and science from students, as well as from their teachers and school principals. The study also investigated the mathematics and science curricula of the participating countries by conducting an analysis of curriculum guides, textbooks, and other curricular materials.
