While the intent of TIMSS is to provide internationally comparable data for all variables, there are many contextual differences among countries so that the international version of the questions are not always appropriate in all countries. Therefore, the international versions of the questionnaires were designed to provide an opportunity for individual countries to modify some questions or response options in order to include the appropriate wording or options most consistent with their own national systems. In the international versions of the questionnaires (Supplements 1 and 2), such questions contain instructions to NRCs to substitute the appropriate wording for their country or to modify or delete any inappropriate questions or options. These instructions were indicated in two ways in the questionnaires: 1) NRC NOTE: 2) (indicating that the NRC was to substitute, if necessary, an appropriate national option that would retain the same basic interpretation as the international version) In addition to some of the questions designed to contain some nationally modified portions, some countries also included revised versions of other questions as well as some inadvertent deviations from the international version (e.g., option reversals). Although no formal translation verification step was used for the background questionnaires, countries were to provide a National Deviations Report and a Data Management Form that included information about how any revised or deleted items were to be handled during data entry and data processing. The information contained in these reports was used, together with the international univariate summary statistics for background questionnaire items and direct comparisons of the international and national versions of the questionnaires, in order to evaluate the international comparability of any modified items. This review process was instituted for the majority of the background questionnaire items and, in particular, for any of the items that were used for reporting the contextual data in the international reports. Each item deviation or national adaptation was individually reviewed in order to determine which of the following actions should be taken: · National data deleted as not being internationally comparable · National data recoded to match the international version · National data retained with some documentation describing modifications 4 - 1 0 T I M S S D A T A B A S E U S E R G U I D E
