| Research Abstract |
In this research, by the analysis and comparison of a series of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) which were administrated by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) respectively in 1995, 1999 and 2003, the Japanese students' science achievement was tried to be made clear.
As if the students' interest/desire/attitude to the science and logical expression at school science, that were observing low internationally in the former TIMSS surveys especially, how those changed in TIMSS2003? In order to make it clear, all the descriptive responses (the sentence etc.) of the elementary and lower secondary school students were input and analyzed.
The students' responses of the science items that should be answered with sentences and drawings among booklets 1 to 12 of the mathematics and also science items that were set for about 4,700 fourth graders in the elementary schools and about 5,000 second graders in the lower secondary schools specifically were input and turned to the database.
In the research result report, the analysis of logical expression in TIMSS constructed response question, and the relationship between that and the results of the teacher questionnaire including the teaching methods and the attitude towards science in the main participating nation/area were summarized.
