Mathematics and Science

In this project, we have placed the assessments in mathematics and science administered before 1995 on the TIMSS reporting scale. We use student achievement data for the populations representing 13-year-old (FIMS and SIMS), 14-year-old (FISS and SISS), and eighth-grade students (TIMSS 1995). The outcome data and documentation of the project is available and can be found below.

Documentation

The documentation of linking the first- and second-phase IEA studies on mathematics
and science is available on this link in PDF format.

Data

The scales are available in SPSS and R formats as listed below:

FIMS 1964

A compressed dataset containing the five plausible scores (FIMSPV1-FIMSPV5) with the new ID variables in SPSS format
A compressed dataset containing the old ID variables (whole original samples) and the new ID variables in SPSS format
The above two datasets in R format in a compressed file

SIMS 1980

A compressed dataset containing the five plausible scores (SIMSPV1-SIMSPV5) with the new ID variables in SPSS format
A compressed dataset containing the old ID variables (whole original samples) and the new ID variables in SPSS format
The above two datasets in R format in a compressed file

FISS 1970

A compressed dataset containing the five plausible scores (FISSPV1-FISSPV5) with the new ID variables in SPSS format
A compressed dataset containing the old ID variables (whole original samples) and the new ID variables in SPSS format
The above two datasets in R format in a compressed file

SISS 1984

A compressed dataset containing the five plausible scores (SISSPV1-SISSPV5) with the new ID variables in SPSS format
