TIMSS Monograph No. 1: Curriculum Frameworks for Mathematics and Science (1993)

This monograph explains the study's foci and its key first step -- the development of the curriculum frameworks that served as the guide for designing the study's achievement tests. The frameworks are included in the appendices.

TIMSS Monograph No. 2: Research Questions and Study Design (1996)

This monograph presents the study's research objectives along with discussions that include: the impact of predecessor studies on the design of TIMSS; how the research questions were derived from TIMSS' conceptual framework; and how both the research questions and test items were tailored to meet the diverse student, teacher, and system contexts of the more than 40 participating countries.

TIMSS Monograph No. 3: Mathematics Textbooks: A Comparative Study of Grade 8 Texts (1995)

Geoffrey Howson, Emeritus Professor of Mathematical Curriculum Studies at the University of Southhampton, England, examines eight mathematics textbooks for 13-year-olds for their pedagogical and philosophical similarities and differences. Texts from the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Norway, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Japan are carefully studied.
