    TIMSS. Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study

    TIMSS focuses on effectively measuring educational achievement in mathematics and science at the fourth, eighth, and sometimes 12th grades. The study is designed to capture the breadth and richness of these subjects as they are taught in the participating counties. The study collects detailed information about curriculum and curriculum implementation, together with empirical information about the contexts for schooling. It therefore provides countries with a much-needed means of improving mathematics and science learning outcomes for students worldwide. In addition, because the IEA has conducted the assessments every four years since 1995, interested parties worldwide can identify trends in achievement and other relevant indices across time.

    PIRLS. Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (Link esterno)

    PIRLS has been assessing reading literacy and monitoring trends in literacy-related student achievement since 2001. Conducted in a large number of countries, the study represents the international standard for reading comprehension at the fourth grade. PIRLS data present a dynamic picture of educational policies and practices associated with literacy across the participating countries, relevant to educational improvement efforts. The study enables participating countries not only to collect current and trend information about curricula, standards, frameworks, and instruction but also to introduce and assess new ideas.
