Welcome to our new home for TIMSS and PIRLS methods and procedures!

Beginning with the 2011 assessment cycles of TIMSS and PIRLS, we have streamlined our web navigation process to give users swifter and easier access to all technical information that was formerly contained in our TIMSS and PIRLS Technical Report publications.

The tabs on the left will guide you to fully searchable Portable Document Format (PDF) content dealing with major sections of TIMSS and PIRLS technical documentation. Often, material specific to TIMSS and PIRLS in 2011 is directly accessible.

Currently, sections are being posted as they become available. All sections will be posted by the release of the TIMSS 2011 International Reports in mathematics and science and the PIRLS 2011 International Report in reading on December 11, 2012.
