TEA has established a cycle of studies covering the major areas of the school curriculum: the 1990s will be the TIMSS decade. It has been more than 10 years since the TEA Second International Mathematics Study and Second International Science Study were conducted (although publication of most of the international reports from those studies was delayed because of lack of funding needed to carry out the analyses of the international data)

The lEA General Assembly approved a motion to discontinue the use of the term National Project Coordinator, and to replace it with National Research Coordinator, which has been used in previous lEA studies.) Data processing for the pilot study is being conducted at the Institute of Comparative Education at The University of Hamburg in Germany; data analysis for the pilot study is being conducted in Australia at the Australian Council for Educational Research; questionnaires are being developed at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan; performance assessment tasks and scoring rubrics are being developed at the National Foundation for Educational Research in England.

Participants About 50 educational systems from all regions of the world and at all levels of economic development will participate in TIMSS. Participation from developing nations is encouraged by several agencies, TEA headquarters, and the TIMSS International Coordinating Center.

Statistics Canada continually advises national research coordinators; it has prepared a third version of the sampling manual. Procedures al Summary of Coated The major source of data on student achievement in mathematics and science for TIMSS will be from achievement surveys containing multiple-choice items selected on the basis of their relationship to the mathematics and science curriculum frameworks developed for the study.

The final pilot forms were submitted to Me International Coordinating Center for use in the October-December 1993 Teacher and School Questionnaire pilot in participating countries; the revised version of the Student Questionnaire was used in the March 1994 International Field Trial. The Center was also responsible for writing the Pilot Manual, Administration Manual, and Data Code books for the international pilot.

In addition to this quantitative data, large data bases have been created containing the free responses of questionnaire respondents and the evaluative comments made by the national research coordinators regarding specific items on the questionnaires and the pilot in general. Selected National research coordinators met in June 1994 to recommend and implement revisions of the school and teacher questionnaires.
