International Comparative Study of Mathematics and Science Test

这个项目的目的是收集10个国家计划进入高等教育的高级科学和数学学生的中学毕业考试问题的例子。这些考试将被分析，以发展对其他国家高级学生所要求的科学和数学主题的覆盖面的知识。科学和数学主题将被划分为一个框架，以便让那些为美国科学和数学学生制定标准的人更好地了解其他发达国家测试学生的政策。对试题的分析将在正在进行的学生科学和数学成绩国际评估的基本框架内进行，即第三次国际数学和科学研究。这项研究发展了一个数学和科学的分类系统，将用于检查其他国家的考试问题。

The purpose of this project is to collect examples of secondary school leaving exam questions regularly given to advanced science and mathematics students in 10 countries planning to enter higher education. The exams will be analyzed to develop knowledge about the coverage of science and mathematics topics required of advanced students in other countries. Science and mathematics topics will be classified into a framework to better inform those who are setting standards for science and mathematics students in the United States about policies of testing students in other developed countries. The analysis of the exam questions would be made within the basic framework of an ongoing international assessment of student achievement in science and mathematics - the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). This study has developed a classification system of mathematics and science that would be used to examine the exam questions of other countries.
