Title of Collection: Trends in 

International Mathematics and Science 

Study (TIMSS): 2015 Recruitment and 

Field Test. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0695. 

Type of Review: A reinstatement with 

change of a previously approved

Individuals or households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Trends in Mathematics 

and Science Study (TIMSS) is an 

international assessment of fourth and 

eighth grade students’ achievement in 

mathematics and science. Since its 

inception in 1995, TIMSS has continued 

to assess students every 4 years (1995, 

1999, 2003, 2007, 2011). Participation in 

this study provides data on current and 

past education policies and a 

comparison of U.S. education policies 

with its international counterparts. 

Periodically, TIMSS has also conducted 

an assessment of advanced mathematics 

and physics of students at the end of 

secondary school (1995 and 2008). The 

United States participated in TIMSS 

Advanced in 1995, but not in 2008. 

Because of the current strong policy 

interest in preparedness for college and 

for careers in science, technology, 

engineering, and mathematics (STEM) 

fields, the U.S. plans to participate in 

TIMSS Advanced in 2015. This 

submission describes the overarching 

plan for all phases of the data collection, 

including the field test that will take 

place in March–April, 2014, and the 

main study that will take place in 

April–May, 2015. The purpose of the 

TIMSS field test is to evaluate new 

assessment items and background 

questions (including the new parent 

questionnaire), to ensure practices that 

promote low exclusion rates, and to 

ensure that classroom and student 

sampling procedures proposed for the 

main study are successful. This 

submission requests approval for 

recruitment for the 2014 field test and 

the 2015 main study; the 2014 field test 

data collection for TIMSS at grades 4 

and 8 and TIMSS Advanced in grade 12; 

and a description of the overarching 

plan for all of the phases of the data 

collection, including data collection in 

the 2015 main study.
