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. The United States will participate in TIMSS 2019 to continue to monitor the progress of its students compared to that of other nations and to provide data on factors that may influence student achievement. New in 2019, TIMSS will be a technology-based assessment conducted in an electronic format. TIMSS is designed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), and is conducted in the U.S. by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). In preparation for the TIMSS 2019 main study, in April 2017, U.S. will participate in a pilot study to assist in the development of eTIMSS and, in March through April 2018, in a field test to evaluate new assessment items and background questions. The TIMSS 2019 Main Study data collection will take place from April through May 2019. This submission is to conduct the TIMSS 2019 pilot test and to begin recruitment of schools, teachers, and students for the field test study. The pilot test data collection will begin in April 2017 and the recruitment for the field test in May 2017. Recruitment for the main study will begin in May of 2018 In May 2017, NCES will submit a request to conduct the 2018 field test and recruit schools for TIMSS 2019 Main Study.

The apparent increase in burden from the last approval is due to the fact that the last request was only to recruit schools and communicate with districts and parents in preparation for the 2017 eTIMSS pilot study, while this request includes the additional burden to conduct the TIMSS 2019 pilot test and to recruit schools and communicate with districts and parents in preparation for the 2018 TIMSS 2019 field test.
