TIMMS-Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study

TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) is one of the studies established by the IEA aimed at allowing educational systems to compare students' educational achievement and learn from the experiences of others in designing effective education policy. This study was first conducted in 1995, and has been performed every 4 years thereafter. In most of the cycles the study assesses 4th and 8th grade students. Therefore, some of the participating educational systems have trend data across assessments from 1995 to 2011

It is important that  every educational institution should integrate TIMMS topics and questioning style in regular curriculum. TIMSS participants share the conviction that comparing education systems in terms of their organization, curricula, and instructional practices in relation to their corresponding student achievement provides information crucial for effective education policy-making.
