Es scheint nicht allgemein bekannt zu sein, dass im Jahr 2004 nicht nur eine
neue PISA-Studie vorgelegt wurde, sondern auch eine
TIMSS-Studie -
allerdings hat sich Deutschland daran auch nicht beteiligt.
Warum hat sich Deutschland nicht beteiligt?
Zitat:
Some European countries opted out of the TIMSS retest.
Germany had scored about on a par with the U.S.
on the 1995 test, and reportedly was so disappointed in
its performance that it refused to take the retest.
(From: Wall Street Journal, December 6, 2000)
In Deutschland wurde über die neue TIMSS-Studie kaum berichtet; der "Deutsche
Bildungsserver" hat immerhin einen entsprechenden
Link (ganz unten),
die Links (Eingabe von "TIMSS" in die
Suchmaske) des
Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung zu TIMSS beziehen sich vorrangig
auf die alten TIMSS-Studien, über die neue wird geschwiegen.
Hier Kurzinformationen:
TIMSS
The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study
(TIMSS, formerly known as the Third International Mathematics and Science Study)
provides reliable and timely data on the mathematics and science
achievement of different countries.
Offered in 1995, 1999, and 2003, TIMSS provides trend data on students'
mathematics and science achievement from an international perspective
The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2003 is the
third comparison of mathematics and science achievement carried out
since 1995 by the International Association for the Evaluation of
Educational Achievement
(IEA), an international organization
of national research institutions and governmental research agencies.
In 2003, some 46 countries participated in TIMSS, at either the
fourth- or eighth-grade level, or both.
WHAT?
TIMSS, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study,
is designed to help countries all over the world improve student
learning in mathematics and science. It collects educational achievement
data at the fourth and eighth grades to provide information about trends
in performance over time together with extensive background information
to address concerns about the quantity, quality, and content of instruction.
WHY?
TIMSS provides important information for policy development, to foster
public accountability, to allow areas of progress or decline in achievement
to be identified and monitored, and to address concerns for equity.
WHO?
Approximately 50 countries from all over the world participate in TIMSS.
A project of the IEA headquartered in Amsterdam, it is directed by
the TIMSS International Study Center at Boston College in collaboration
with a worldwide network of organizations and representatives from the
participating countries.
WHEN?
The TIMSS 2003 data collection is complete, and the results
released December 14, 2004. Conducted on a four-year cycle, the first
round of TIMSS was in 1995 and the second in 1999. Preparations
are underway for the next round of TIMSS, which will take place in 2007.
