The ERC is pleased to announce the forthcoming launch of the TIMSS 2023 national report which will be available from https://doi.org/10.70092/2009137.1224 at 9am on Wednesday 4th December 2024.
TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) has been assessing the mathematics and science skills of Fourth Grade and Eighth Grade students internationally (Fourth Class and Second Year in Ireland) since 1995, serving as a valuable tool for monitoring trends in mathematics and science achievement. It also collects contextual information from students, parents/guardians, teachers and school principals.
TIMSS 2023 is the eighth cycle of the study which started in 1995, providing almost 30 years of trend data. TIMSS 2023 was administered in 65 countries (including Ireland) and includes over 650,000 students worldwide. In Ireland, 360 schools and almost 13,000 students took part in TIMSS 2023.
TIMSS 2023 marks Ireland’s transition to digital testing. A national mode effect study was also included to monitor how student achievement may be affected by the mode of assessment (paper vs digital).
The TIMSS 2023 report will be accessible at: https://doi.org/10.70092/2009137.1224.
