TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) is the largest


ongoing undertaking of IEA, an international cooperative of national research
institutions and government agencies that has been conducting studies of crossnational achievement since 1959. With a Secretariat in Amsterdam, a large
Data Processing and Research Center in Hamburg, and more than 60 member
countries, IEA is headed by Executive Director Hans Wagemaker.
It takes extreme dedication on the part of many individuals around the
world to make TIMSS a success. TIMSS is a truly global, cooperative enterprise
made possible by the work of individuals around the world on overall project
tasks and within each of the participating countries.
The TIMSS & PIRLS International study Center at Boston College, led
by Executive Directors Ina V.S. Mullis and Michael O. Martin, is responsible
for the direction and management of TIMSS, together with PIRLS (Progress
in International Reading Literacy Study). To carry out these two ambitious
international studies, the TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center works
closely with the IEA Secretariat in Amsterdam and the IEA Data Processing
and Research Center in Hamburg. Also, Statistics Canada is responsible for
school and sampling activities and Educational Testing Service in Princeton,
New Jersey provides guidance on psychometric methodology. In particular, a
great deal of the credit for TIMSS is due the National Research Coordinators
designated by the participating countries to be responsible for the complex tasks
involved in implementing the studies in their countries.
With each new assessment cycle of a study, one of the most important
tasks is to update the assessment frameworks. Updating the TIMSS assessment
frameworks for 2015 began in September of 2012, and has involved extensive
input and reviews by individuals at the TIMSS & PIRLS International Study
Center, the IEA, the TIMSS 2015 National Research Coordinators, and the
two TIMSS expert committees: the TIMSS 2015 Science and Mathematics
Item Review Committee, and the TIMSS 2015 Questionnaire Item Review
Committee. Of all the individuals around the world that it takes to make TIMSS
a success, the intention here is to specifically acknowledge some of those persons
who had particular responsibility and involvement in developing and producing
the TIMSS 2015 Assessment Frameworks.
