The TIMSS &amp; PIRLS International Study Center worked with the TIMSS 2015 Science and Mathematics Item Review Committee (SMIRC) to conduct a detailed scale anchoring analysis to describe science achievement at the benchmarks, and to select example items to illustrate the science content and types of cognitive processing skills and strategies demonstrated by students at each of the international benchmarks. For the items designated for use in reporting the results, every effort was made to include examples that not only illustrated the particular benchmark under consideration, but also represented different item formats and content area domains. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TIMSS 2015 International Results in Science<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":2350,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-science.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2352","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2352"}],"version-history":[{"count":56,"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4239,"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2352\/revisions\/4239"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timss2015.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
