About the TIMSS 2023 Insights Series
The TIMSS Insights series explores specific educational research topics using TIMSS data. Publications in this series use both mathematics and science achievement and contextual data to take a closer look at particular areas of research interest. The Insights reports explore complex relationships among different variables in TIMSS, extending beyond what is presented in the International Results in Mathematics and Science.
The following TIMSS 2023 Insights publications are available for download:
This report presents in-depth analyses of the TIMSS 2023 contextual data related to environmental sustainability and how these variables relate to studentsā achievement in environmental knowledge.
