Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) Results of Georgia 2019 National Assessment and Examinations Center Tbilisi, 2020
The Goal and Participants of TIMSS The main purpose of TIMSS is to contribute to teaching and learning of mathematics and science, as well as to assist participating countries in improving education policies and practices in this direction; TIMSS is conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) in various countries around the world every 4 years since 1995; Georgia first participated in the survey in 2007 and has since participated in 2011, 2015 and 2019 cycles; Georgia was represented by both 4thand 8thgrades in each research cycle; From 2019, TIMSS switched to electronic assessment (e-TIMSS); 64 countries participated in TIMSS 2019. 58 countries and 6 regions participated in the fourth grade assessment, and 39 countries and 7 regions participated in the eighth grade assessment.
TIMSS Participants from Georgia: 226 schools; 154 fourth and 145 eighth grade; 6 002 fourth graders; 5,698 eighth graders; TIMSS 2019 Participants: systems), Chile, Chinese Taipei, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, England, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Hungary, Islamic Republic of Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Republic of Korea, Kosovo, Kuwait, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Republic of North Macedonia, Malaysia, Malta, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russian Federation (with Moscow as a benchmarking system), Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovak Republic, South Africa, Spain (with Madrid as a benchmarking system), Sweden, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (with Abu Dhabi and Dubai as benchmarking systems), United States. 214 School Principal; 1,716 teachers; Albania, Australia, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium (Flemish), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada (with Ontario and Quebec as benchmarking Parent / guardian of 5 931 fourth graders.

TIMSS 2019: Achievement Dynamics in Mathematics In the 2019 cycle, the achievements of fourth-graders in Georgia have improved statistically. Georgia is also among the five countries that have increased the level of achievement the most compared to the 2015 cycle. The growth trend is maintained in the eighth grade results as well. -8 Grade 8 -4 Grade 4 2007 2011 2015 2019 500 2007 2011 2015 2019 520 490 510 480 461 500 470 482 453 490 460 480 450 463 431 470 440 450 460 430 410 438 450 420 440 410 430 400 420 390 410 380 400

TIMSS 2019: Achievement Dynamics in Science Georgia's score in both the fourth and eighth grades compared to the previous research cycles has increased slightly, however this does not indicate a statistically significant progress. -8 Science Grade 8 -4 Science Grade 4 2007 2011 2015 2019 490 2007 2011 2015 2019 480 500 470 490 460 480 447 443 450 470 455 454 440 451 460 421 430 420 450 420 440 410 418 430 400 420 390 410 380 400 370 390 380
TIMSS 2019: Average Achievement by Gender (Girl/boy) According to 2019 data, the achievements of 4thgrader boys are statistically significantly higher than the achievements of girls, although Georgia is among the 3 countries (South Korea, Malta, Georgia) where this difference is the slightest. Mathematics Grade 8 Mathematics Grade 4
TIMSS 2019: Average Achievement by Gender (Girl/boy) According to 2019 data, the achievements of girls and boys in more than half of the participating countries do not differ by gender, including: Georgia, Finland, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Norway, Poland, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark and others. Science Grade 4 Science Grade 4
TIMSS 2019: Achievement According to School Status (Public/Private) As in previous research cycles, in 2019, private school achievement in mathematics still outperformed public school results, although it is clear that the gap between private and public schools is narrowing. Mathematics Grade 8 Mathematics Grade 4 2007 2011 2015 2019 560 2007 2011 2015 2019 560 540 525* 540 521* 520 515* 520 509* 498* 493* 500 500 480 471* 480 457* 460 478 460 457 440 449 456 440 445 420 437 427 420 400 408 400 public private public private
TIMSS 2019: Achievement According to School Status (Public/Private) According to the results of 2019, the achievements of private schools in Science (physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences) are still higher than the achievements of public schools, although the gap between the achievements of private and public schools is decreasing. Science Grade 8 Science Grade 4 2007 2011 2015 2019 2007 2011 2015 2019 510 560 500 540 490 481* 479* 509* 520 476* 504* 480 465* 500 470 483* 460 480 454* 450 460 440 443 440 451 450 439 430 444 420 420 420 416 410 417 400 private public 400 private public
TIMSS 2019: Achievement According to School Location (Urban/Rural) According to 2019 data, fourth-graders from rural areas have improved their achievement statistics significantly. For the first time since 2007, based on 2019 data, we can conclude that the differences between rural and urban schools are not statistically significant and that the gap is narrowing down. Mathematics Grade 8 2007 2011 2015 2019 Mathematics Grade 4 480 465 470 2007 2011 2015 2019 460* 510 460 447* 500 450 483 490 452 440 472* 480 439 430 470 460* 477 420 412 460 410 450 441 410 400 440 406 430 390 437 435 432 420 380 410 urban rural urban rural
TIMSS 2019: Achievement According to School Location (Urban/Rural) Both 4th and 8th graders from rural areas have improved their achievement in contrast to urban schools. This increase is statistically significant in the 4th grade. Science Grade 8 2007 2011 2015 2019 Science Grade 4 480 2007 2011 2015 2019 470 490 460 480 448* 448 470 450 463* 459* 457 460 440 443 430* 450 430 421 453 433 440 420 420 439 430 410 421 428 420 400 406 410 390 412 400 380 390 urban rural urban rural
