Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011 is the fifth administration of this international comparative study since 1995 when first administered. TIMSS is used to compare over time the mathematics and science knowledge and skills of fourth- and eighth-graders. TIMSS is designed to align broadly with mathematics and science curricula in the participating countries. The results, therefore, suggest the degree to which students have learned mathematics and science concepts and skills likely to have been taught in school. In 2011, there were 54 countries and 20 other educational systems that participated in TIMSS, at the fourth- or eighth-grade level, or both. This paper is an appendix to the "Highlights From TIMSS 2011: Mathematics and Science Achievement of U.S. Fourth- and Eighth-Grade Students in an International Context" report.

This book was released on 2020-05-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is one of the projects of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), located at Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Hamburg, Germany. IEA is an independent cooperative of national educational research institutions and governmental research agencies dedicated to improving education. TIMSS is conducted regularly for every four years to assess students’ achievement in science and mathematics at both the fourth and eighth grades. The project is dedicated to providing participating countries with information to improve teaching and learning in science and mathematics. This book is written especially for the interest of undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and educators of science education who wish to know more about the contributing factors to Grade 8 students’ science achievement in TIMSS. This book is also resourceful for individuals who are involved, directly or indirectly, in the administration and implementation of TIMSS at the national, state, district, and school levels. This book consists of seven chapters. The first chapter gives a brief introduction to TIMSS which includes the TIMSS curriculum model and TIMSS science assessment frameworks. The subsequent chapters compare the contribution of various factors, i.e., home environment support, school resources, school climate, teacher preparation, and classroom instructions on Malaysian and Singaporean Grade 8 students’ science achievement in TIMSS 2011. Last but not least, recommendations on ways to improve Malaysian Grade 8 students’ science achievement in the forthcoming TIMSS are suggested based on the experiences of the Singaporean education system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "U.S. TIMSS and PIRLS 2011 Technical Report and User's Guide" provides an overview of the design and implementation of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011 and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2011 in the United States and the nine participating benchmarking states: Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and North Carolina, along with information designed to facilitate access to the U.S. TIMSS and PIRLS 2011 data. The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011 is the fifth such study since this international comparison of student achievement was first conducted in 1995. Developed and implemented at the international level by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), an international organization of national research institutions and governmental research agencies, TIMSS is used to measure trends in the mathematics and science knowledge and skills of fourth- and eighth-graders. TIMSS is designed to align broadly with mathematics and science curricula in the participating countries. The results, therefore, suggest the degree to which students have learned mathematics and science concepts and skills likely to have been taught in school. TIMSS also collects background information on students, teachers, curricula, and schools to allow cross-national comparisons of educational contexts related to student achievement. In 2011, there were 54 countries and 20 other education systems (including all nine benchmarking states) that participated in TIMSS at the fourth- or eighth-grade level, or both. Also referenced here are three additional reports that provide a detailed treatment of TIMSS 2011 from an international perspective. Two of those reports are available in ERIC and are cross referenced at the end of this abstract. The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) is an international comparative study of student achievement. PIRLS 2011 represents the third such study since PIRLS was first conducted in 2001. Developed and implemented by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), an international organization of national research institutions and governmental research agencies, PIRLS is used to measure the reading knowledge and skills of fourth-graders over time. PIRLS is designed to align broadly with reading curricula in the participating education systems. The results, therefore, suggest the degree to which students have learned reading concepts and skills likely to have been taught in school. PIRLS also collects background information on students, teachers, schools, curricula, and official education policies to allow cross-national comparison of educational contexts that may be related to student achievement. In 2011, there were 40 countries and 13 other education systems (including Florida) that participated in PIRLS. Titles of two additional companion reports that provide a detailed treatment of PIRLS 2011 from an international perspective published by the IEA are provided here. Those that are available in ERIC are cross referenced at the end of this abstract. Descriptions of data collection activities and their timing within the United States provide a foundation for researchers seeking to understand the detail of the data. These activities are listed in exhibit 1-1 along with the timing of their implementation. The activities are described in detail in chapter 4 of this report. The basic parameters of the design and administration of TIMSS and PIRLS 2011 in the United States are outlined and a more detailed treatment is provided in subsequent chapters of this report. Appended are: (1) State Sampling Tables; (2) State Participation Rates; (3) TIMSS & PIRLS 2011 Recruitment Materials; (4) Informational Materials; (5) Field Staff Training Materials; (6) U.S. Versions of TIMSS and PIRLS 2011 Student, School, Teacher and Curriculum Questionnaires; and (7) TIMSS and PIRLS 2011 Questionnaire Adaptations.

Download or read book The Age of STEM written by Brigid Freeman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world STEM (learning and work in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) has taken central importance in education and the economy in a way that few other disciplines have. STEM competence has become seen as key to higher productivity, technological adaptation and research-based innovation. No area of educational provision has a greater current importance than the STEM disciplines yet there is a surprising dearth of comprehensive and world-wide information about STEM policy, participation, programs and practice. The Age of STEM is a state of the art survey of the global trends and major country initiatives in STEM. It gives an international overview of issues such as: STEM strategy and coordination curricula, teaching and assessment women in STEM indigenous students research training STEM in the graduate labour markets STEM breadth and STEM depth The individual chapters give comparative international analysis as well as a global overview, particularly focusing on the growing number of policies and practices in mobilising and developing talent in the STEM fields. The book will be of particular interest to anyone involved in educational policy, those in education management and leaders in both schooling and tertiary education. It will have a wider resonance among practitioners in the STEM disciplines, particularly at university level, and for those interested in contemporary public policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. All over the world, economic inclusion has risen to the top of the development discourse. A well-performing education system is central to achieving inclusive development - but the challenge of improving educational outcomes has proven to be unexpectedly difficult. Access to education has increased, but quality remains low, with weaknesses in governance comprising an important part of the explanation. The Politics and Governance of Basic Education explores the balance between hierarchical and horizontal institutional arrangements for the public provision of basic education. Using the vivid example of South Africa, a country that had ambitious goals at the outset of its transition from apartheid to democracy, it explores how the interaction of politics and institutions affects educational outcomes. By examining lessons learned from how South Africa failed to achieve many of its goals, it constructs an innovative alternative strategy for making process, combining practical steps to achieve incremental gains to re-orient the system towards learning.

Download or read book Exploring the Mathematical Education of Teachers Using TEDS M Data written by Maria Teresa Tatto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the publicly available TEDS-M data to answer such questions as: How does teacher education contribute to the learning outcomes of future teachers? Are there programs that are more successful than others in helping teachers learn to teach mathematics? How does the local and national policy environment contribute to teacher education outcomes? It invites readers to explore these questions across a large number of international settings. The importance of preparing future mathematics teachers has become a priority across many nations. Across the globe nations have allocated resources and expertise to this endeavour. Yet in spite of the importance accorded to teacher education not much is known about different approaches to preparing knowledgeable teachers and whether these approaches do in fact achieve their purpose. The Mathematics Teacher Education and Development Study (TEDS-M) is the first, and to date the only, cross-national study using scientific and representative samples to provide empirical data on the knowledge that future mathematics teachers of primary and secondary school acquire in their teacher education programs. The study addresses the central importance of teacher knowledge in learning to teach mathematics by examining variation in the nature and influence of teacher education programs within and across countries. The study collected data on teacher education programs structure, curriculum and opportunities to learn, on teacher educators’ characteristics and beliefs, and on future mathematics teachers’ individual characteristics, beliefs, and mathematics and pedagogical knowledge across 17 countries providing a unique opportunity to explore enduring questions in the field.
