The TIMSS 2023 Assessment Frameworks, the basis of the IEA’s TIMSS 2023, has been recently published.

TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) 2019 shows that achievement in science and mathematics is on the rise. The international results find most countries are reaching minimum proficiency, gender equity eroded in mathematics at fourth grade, and teachers requiring more professional development for integrating technology into their teaching.

A new research paper authored by Jihyun Lee and Minge Chen, illustrates empirical findings that measure predictive validities of non-cognitive variables for mathematics achievement based on the TIMSS 2015 study, for students in the primary and secondary school across multiple countries.

Sasha Jones, in this article, examines a new study by Education Next which showed that the socioeconomic achievement gap has remained unchanged for the past 50 years.

Dr. Hastedt points out in his article, referring to results obtained from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), that as children grow up, their confidence in the subject maths decreases. Furthermore, he explains how gender plays a role in instigating this attitude and how female teachers can help overcome the fear of the subject among children.
