Terms of Clearance: Approved consistent with ED's memo to OMB of 3/18/99. In addition, the following terms apply: 1) In providing the $150 payment to schools, ED will specify that these funds are to be used to help alleviate costs associated with the administration of the test. Further, any remaining funds will be used for school supplies. 2) The next submission for clearance of any TIMSS initiative will implement the new race/ etnicity categories as outlined in the 10/30/97 Federal Register. If this goal cannot be met, ED will include a strategy (with specific time-frames) for implementing the new categories. 3) Consistent with the PRA, ED's initial burden estimate has been recalculated to factor out time associated with students completing the cognitive portion on the TIMSS.

Abstract: In order to provide international benchmarks against which to measure the performance of American students in mathematics and science, with comparisons of data for 1988-1999, and to measure progress toward the U.S. national goal at being first in the world of mathematics and science in the year 2000, NCES wants to repeat TIMSS-S for the 8th grade in U.S. schools in 1988.
