NCES 2013041 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011 U.S. restricted-use datafile
This datafile contains school IDs that can be linked to the public-use U.S. TIMSS 2011 datafile to allow for merging with data from the Common Core of Data (CCD) and Private School Universe Survey (PSS). This datafile can only be obtained by those who apply for a restricted-use license through NCES. Information on how to merge the restricted-use datafile with the U.S. TIMSS 2011 public-use datafile is included.

A User Guide to the data is included in the U.S. TIMSS and PIRLS 2011 Technical Report, which is available online separately (publication number 2013046).

NCES 2013469 2011 NAEP-TIMSS Linking Study: Linking Methodologies and Their Evaluations

The 2011 NAEP-TIMSS linking study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) was designed to predict Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) scores for the U.S. states that participated in 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) mathematics and science assessment of eighth-grade students. The purpose of conducting the 2011 NAEP-TIMSS linking study was two-fold. The study was conducted to see whether it is possible to predict TIMSS scores for the states that did not participate in the TIMSS assessment. Secondly, the study was conducted to identify a method among various methodologies suggested in the literature for linking two assessments that are somewhat different.

This 2011 NAEP-TIMSS linking methodology paper was prepared to supplement the reading of U.S. States in a Global Context: Results From the 2011 NAEP-TIMSS Linking Study, NCES 2013-460.

NCES 98499 Linking the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS): A Technical Report
This report is the technical documentation behind an earlier released report, "Linking the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS): Eighth-Grade Results", which concerns the linking of NAEP results to TIMSS results for grade 8 mathematics and science. The purpose of this report is not to provide scores, but to describe the methods used to undertake such a link using the available data. The specific direction of the link was to link NAEP to TIMSS, thereby providing predicted TIMSS results for given NAEP results. A major goal of the link is to enable comparisons between states and countries.

NCES 97595 Public Attitudes Toward Secondary Education: The United States in an International Context
In this report, survey results from the United States are compared with results from the eleven other countries that participated in the survey: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Comparsions are presented for questions on six topics: (1) the importance of subjects taught in schools; (2) the importance of schools developing certain personal and social qualities or aptitudes in students; (3) confidence that the subjects are taught well; (4) confidence that schools have a major effect on the development of personal and social qualities; (5) the important practices to emphasize in order for schools to achieve their goals; and (6) the importance of decision making at the school level.
