密歇根州立大学要求 支持美国国家第三中心的资金 国际数学和科学研究（TIMSS）。 此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 我们正在请求支持， 分析，并进行国际数据分析。 由国际旅游协会主办的 教育成就评估（IEA）将是主要的 1990年代的国际评估活动。 利息 世界各国政府在评估 在学校学到的知识反映了一种全球性的认识， 科学素养和经济生产力密不可分 联系在一起，数学作为通用语言处于最前沿 （Walberg，1983）。 评估可以发挥 这是确定教育改革必要性的关键部分。 到目前为止，全世界有40-50个国家致力于 参加TMSS。 这项研究将于一九九三至九四年度进行， 1997-98. 美国已同意参加TIMSS， 至少在一般条款所传达的美国国际能源署一般 大会代表戈登·安巴赫和 美国国家科学院国际比较研究委员会 教育研究，由国家科学基金会和 国家教育统计中心。 这些活动涉及以下三项主要任务： 美国参与TIMMS的管理和监督： 这包括所有行政和协调活动 国家中心必须确保美国 TIMSS的参与由许多人提供信息和塑造， 影响美国数学和科学的背景现实 在各级教育中， 国家 这项任务的广度将需要一个工作人员， 专业人士来协调这一责任和人民 涉案 这项任务是本组织的主要工作， 正在申请资金。 美国TIMSS课程分析：国家 中心将承担美国课程分析。 这将是 分三个阶段进行： 关于与国际刑事法院有关的课程材料， 进行分析，并制定美国报告 进行国际课程数据分析和开发 报告：这将涉及复杂数据文件的开发 并构建权重和程序进行分析，详细 数据分析将在密歇根州立大学完成， 编写和传播广泛对比的专著 国家在科学和数学课程方面。

With this proposal, Michigan State University is requesting funds to support the U.S. National Center for the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). In addition, we are requesting support to conduct the United States curriculum analysis and to do the international data analysis. The TIMSS sponsored by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), will be the major international assessment activity during the 1990's. The interest which governments around the world have in assessing what is learned in school is a reflection of a global recognition that scientific literacy and economic productivity are inextricably linked, with mathematics at the forefront as the universal language of modern technology (Walberg, 1983). Assessment can play a critical part in the identification of needed reforms in education. Thus far, 40-50 countries around the world are committed to participate in TIMSS. The study will take place in 1993-94 and 1997-98. United States participation in TIMSS has been agreed to at least in general terms as conveyed by the U.S. IEA General Assembly Representative Gordon Ambach and as endorsed by the National Academy of Science Board for International Comparative Studies in Education, by the National Science Foundation, and the National Center for Education Statistics. The activities involve three major tasks outlined below: Administration and Supervision of U.S. Participation in TIMMS: This includes all of the administrative and coordination activities the National Center must perform to ensure that the U.S. participation in TIMSS is informed and shaped by the many contextual realities that affect U.S. mathematics and science education at all levels and is highly coordinated within the country. The breadth of this task will require a staff of professionals to coordinate this responsibility and the people involved. This task constitutes the major work for which this funding is being requested. Conduct of U.S. Curriculum Analysis for TIMSS: The National Center will undertake the U.S. curriculum analysis. This will be carried out in three phases: definition of the sampling frame with regard to the curricular materials in conjunction with the ICC, conduct of the analysis, and development of the U.S. report Conduct International Curriculum Data Analysis and Develop Report: This will involve the development of a complex data file and constructing of weights and procedures for analysis, detailed data analysis to be completed at Michigan State University and development and dissemination of extensive monograph contrasting countries with regard to science and mathematics curriculum.
