| Abstract | Many Science and Mathematics teachers might have heard of The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) through being directly or indirectly involved in the conduct of the achievement tests in their schools. TIMSS is a very large scale study, in fact the largest so far in terms of international comparative studies under the auspices of the International Association for the Study of Educational Achievement (IEA), with more than forty countries participating in the various components of the Study. It reflects much of the latest thinking in terms of comparative curriculum and has incorporated some innovative approaches to the assessment of learning outcomes. The article provides an overview of the study and attempts to highlight the potential benefit from this study for Hong Kong. |
