Enabling TIMSS to Meet the Information Needs of the 21st Century

波士顿学院的这一建议寻求资金，以便继续为TIMSS 2003年国际评估编写原型探究任务项目，并为教师提供一个网站，记录学生应对原型问题的方法。 第二组活动包括一个调查表编制小组，该小组将考虑对TIMSS收集最有用的背景信息类型，并确定收集这些信息的最佳途径，对这一项目的支持确保2003年国际研究能够继续进行2003年TIMSS管理所需的规划和工作人员工作。

This proposal from Boston College seeks funding to continue the preparation of prototype inquiry task items for the TIMSS 2003 international assessment and to provide a website for teachers that documents students' approaches to responding to the prototype problems. The second set of activities includes a Questionnaire Development Group that would consider the most useful types of contextual information for TIMSS to gather and identify the best vehicle(s) for gathering it. Support for this project ensures that the 2003 international study can continue the planning and staff work necessary for the 2003 TIMMS administration.
