They hear repeatedly that other countries produce higher student achievement. Teachers and parents wonder about the answers to questions like these: Why do the children in Asian cultures seem to be so good at science and mathematics? How are biology and physics taught in the French curriculum? What are textbooks like elsewhere, and how much latitude do teachers have in the way they follow the texts? Do all students receive the same education, or are they grouped by ability or perceived educational promise? If students are grouped, how early is this done? What are tests like, and what are the consequences for students? Are other countries engaged in Standards-like reforms? Does anything like "standards" play a role in other countries? Questions such as these reflect more than a casual interest in other countries' educational practices. They grow out of an interest in identifying ways to improve mathematics and science education in the United States. The focus of this short report is on what the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), a major international investigation of curriculum, instruction, and learning in mathematics and science, will be able to contribute to understandings of mathematics and science education around the world as well as to current efforts to improve student learning, particularly in the United States.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)What we can learn?MathematicsStudy and teachingEvaluationScienceStudy and teachingEvaluationMathematicsStudy and teachingEvaluation.ScienceStudy and teachingEvaluation.510/.71Bass Hyman1932-858058Kahle Jane Butler1803746National Research Council (U.S.).Mathematical Sciences Education Board.National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Science Education K-12.Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970417303321Mathematics and science education around the world4351418UNINA
