IEA’s TIMSS 2023 is the eighth assessment cycle of TIMSS, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study. TIMSS 2023 was conducted at the fourth and eighth grades in 64 countries and 6 benchmarking systems. Inaugurated in 1995, TIMSS has been conducted every four years since, providing 28 years of trends in mathematics and science achievement. TIMSS 2023 completes the transition to digital assessment, which began with TIMSS 2019, reflecting the widespread use of technology in schools and society.
Awful. The US is now ranked 24th globally in math achievement for 4th graders, dropping 18 points since 2019.
Recent actions by @WisconsinDPI and other states to lower standards will only worsen these problems. High expectations are necessary for students to compete globally.
