The second report in the TIMSS 2023 Insights series is now available from the TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center

School Climate Health: Multidimensional Profiles of School Environments in TIMSS 2023 describes how response patterns derived from TIMSS 2023 questionnaire data can be used to create meaningful profiles of school environments across education systems. These profiles reveal the importance of considering reports from different stakeholders in evaluating school environments, as these stakeholders’ perceptions do not always align. The results also highlight the complexity of relationships observed between mathematics and science achievement and school environment.

About the TIMSS Insights series

The TIMSS Insights series explores specific educational research topics using TIMSS data. Publications in this series use both mathematics and science achievement and contextual data to take a closer look at particular areas of research interest. The Insights reports explore complex relationships among different variables in TIMSS, extending beyond what is presented in the International Results in Mathematics and Science.
