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 is for the 2015 TIMSS and TIMSS Advanced main study data collection that will take place in March-May, 2015.

This request is for the recruitment and data collection for the main study. There is a change in burden in relation to the burden approved in the current record because the last approval was for the field test and for the main study recruitment (OMB# 1850-0695 v.3), which included estimates for 10 states plus Puerto Rico. However, only Florida will participate at grades 4 and 8 as a benchmarking state. In addition, the school sample size for TIMSS Advanced was increased somewhat in order to achieve the needed number of student participants.
