"THE TIMSS TEST"

- CONTENT -
The TIMSS test is a test conducted as part of an international education study that examines students in the fields of mathematics and science study. The study was conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, which also includes the PIRLS test. The study was conducted among schoolchildren in grades D, in grades and in grades. The study provides information at the state level about the level of educational achievement in mathematics and science and the educational context of teaching these professions. As part of the study, data is collected not only from students but also from teachers and school administrators. In the study, the results of the tests and background variables and positions in different countries around the world are given an attempt to understand the interpersonal relations between the achievements and the educational context data, and the background variables (such as school policy, library household resources, student attitudes toward the field of opinion, the concepts of teachers and their teaching and more).

The purpose of research
The purpose of the study of Times in International Mathematics and Science Study is to evaluate the achievements of students in mathematics and science professions and to enable a comparison between the countries of the level of educational achievement in mathematics and science in Grade D, H and B. (at this grade level, the evaluation is done only among students studying advanced studies in these professions). The International Organization for Assessment of Achievements in Education (IEA) is responsible for preparing the test and transferring it in participating countries. The vision of the International Organization is to provide countries with a situation picture of their students over time to improve teaching and learning in these professions in light of the findings.

The results enable the identification of change trends over the years and examine them in light of the study programmes in the areas of the subjects’ opinion, conventional teaching methods and various intervention programs operated in the educational system. The study is divided into knowledge tests for students and background questionnaires and positions for students, mathematics and science professionals and school administrators whose education is taught.

The subjects tested
Tims tests are organized around two lines: the content axis that includes the different fields in each profession, and the cognitive axis – detailing the cognitive skills that the grade students should control in these fields of opinion. The Tems test examines two areas of opinion: math and science. The test refers to the material that fits the class level in which the subjects are located, and that their future life is important in terms of their ability to fit into society successfully. The test material reflects the knowledge and skills defined in the conceptual framework of the study.

The conceptual framework of the test
A conceptual framework of the test describes the scope of the content the test contains, and constitutes the basis of the validity of the test. In international tests, the definition of the conceptual framework is particularly important because due to cultural differences, language and place, different applied concepts of the same theoretical ideas will be prepared. The conceptual framework according to which the test standards in mathematics and science were established based on the curriculum in mathematics and science in participating countries in the study, while attempting to create as broad a term as possible among participating countries. In each of the fields of knowledge (mathematic and scientific) in the Thoms test, each item examines one area of content and one cognitive skill. Content areas in mathematics: numbers, algebra, geometry and probability. Content in Science: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences. The questions in both areas of mind also examine the cognitive skills of God
