Project description
TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) 2015 is an international educational large scale student assessment. The investigation is focused on mathematical and scientific skills of primary school children in Germany in an international comparison. It is carried out every four years. TIMSS examined student performance in math and science area, taking account of curricular requirements and other key conditions of school learning environment. The TIMSS primary school examination took place in 2015 for the third time in Germany. Germany is participating in the study at the decision of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the Länder (KMK) under an agreement between the KMK and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
