Autumn 2021 webinar
What can my school learn from the TIMSS (mathematics and science-focused) international study?
This webinar was run by UCL education academics responsible for the analysis and reporting of TIMSS 2019 and TIMSS 2023 outcomes in England with Pearson personnel available to answer any TIMSS 2023 operational queries. The webinar offered an overview of TIMSS, together with key background and performance findings for England from TIMSS 2019 (and where relevant, earlier studies). The focus was on areas of background, attitude and performance. We also identify benefits of closer engagement with TIMSS, including participation in the field trial or main study if invited.
The seminar also exemplified previous TIMSS assessment items that illustrate important areas where TIMSS tells us there is potential for our learners to develop significantly greater facility.
Participants were signposted to further use of such resources, including for pedagogic purposes.
