Structure of presentation 1.What is TIMSS? 2.South African performance in TIMSS Cross-country comparison in TIMSS. 4.Where to next?

What is TIMSS?

TIMSS tries to ascertain what do students know in mathematics and science and thus there are instruments to measure learners disciplinary knowledge and skills. In addition the study tries to explain the outcome and therefore collects data on the context (national, home and school)

TIMSS 2003 Study is conducted at the grade 4 and 8 level – South Africa participated at the grade 8 level. 50 countries participated. Data was collected at the end of 2002 – about 9000 learners.

SOUTH AFRICAN PERFORMANCE IN TIMSS 2003

KEY FINDING Scores are a reflection of the inequalities in the country. “Quality” and “Inequality”

What do we learn from cross- country comparative research?

Cross country analysis allows one to compare scores of learners, who have similar characteristics, from different countries. The comparison can be useful to generate or exclude hypotheses that might influence learner achievements.
