(TIMSS) is an international assessment
of fourth and eighth grade students’
achievement in mathematics and
science. Since its inception in 1995,
TIMSS has continued to assess students
every 4 years, with the next TIMSS
assessment, TIMSS 2019, being the
seventh iteration of the study. TIMSS
provides a comparison of U.S. student
performance with those of their
international peers in mathematics and
science at grades 4 and 8. TIMSS is
coordinated by the International
Association for the Evaluation of
Educational Achievement (IEA), an
international collective of research
organizations and government agencies
that creates the assessment framework,
assessments, and background
questionnaires and provides procedures
and technical standards which all
countries must follow. In the U.S., the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) conducts TIMSS. In preparation
for the TIMSS 2019 main study, NCES
conducted a field test in 2018 to
evaluate new assessment items and
background questions, to ensure
practices that promote low exclusion
rates, and to ensure that classroom and
student sampling procedures proposed
for the main study are successful. The
request for the TIMSS 2019 Main Study
recruitment & Field Test was approved
in July 2017 with the latest change
request approved in July 2018 (OMB#
1850–0695 v.10–13). The U.S. TIMSS
2019 main study recruitment began in
May 2018, and data collection is
scheduled to take place from April
through May 2019. This request is to
conduct the TIMSS 2019 Main Study.
TIMSS 2019 results will be posted on
NCES website.
