TIMSS Technical Report Volume III: Implementation and Analysis (Final Year of Secondary School)

This report describes the implementation of TIMSS and the analytic procedures underlying the reporting of the achievement results for the final year of secondary school assessment. Described in this volume are: the implementation of the sample design and characteristics of the national samples, calculation of sampling weights, procedures for estimating sampling variability, data management and database construction, procedures for checking the cognitive item-level data, the TIMSS scaling model, and the various procedures for reporting the achievement and background. data
