optimized for the purposes of state comparisons and reporting of the overall German estimates. This study will present how information from a prior assessment can be used to optimize the sample design in future assessments, and how data highly correlated with reading achievement can also be used to estimate within and between school variance in order to optimize sample designs.

Track A TIMSS - Session 3 Explaining trends in mathematics/science achievement 1 July 16:00-18:00 Room: AK 2136 Chair: Kok Leong Boey Discussant: Jan van Damme Trends in Factors Affecting Eight Graders Mathematics Performance by Gender in Iran (TIMSS, 1999, 2003 & 2007) Ali Reza Kiamanesh, Islamic Azad University, Science Research Branch, Tehran, Iran Maryam Mohsenpour, University of Tehran, Iran In the present study, the changes observed in the mathematics achievement of Iranian eighth graders across three consecutive TIMSS studies were investigated by gender. The data obtained from Iranian eighth graders in TIMSS 1999, 2003 and 2007 were analyzed. A number of 5301 (2096 girls and 3205 boys), 4942 (2059 girl and 2883 boys), and 3881 (1786 girls and 2195 boys) Iranian students participated in TIMSS 1999, 2003 and 2007, respectively. Using the data from the Student Questionnaire and factor analysis, four factors were extracted for each of the studies. Due to the fact that the items in the Student Questionnaire in the three different studies were not the same, the indicators for some of these factors in the three different studies were not identical. The factors were identified as attitudes towards math, socio-economic status, mathematics self-concept, and school climate. The criterion variable was defined using five mathematics plausible values. The key methodologies used in this study were the effect sizes and the Linear Structural Model. Diverse fit statistics were used to assess the goodness of fit, and the model fit was acceptable for all the models. The data from each study were analyzed for boys and girls, separately. Trends in influential factors for the boy and girl participants in these three studies and the direct and indirect effects of the factors on mathematics achievement were also analyzed and discussed. Key words: trend, mathematics achievement, eighth graders, factors Trends in Differentiation of Student Achievement and Learning Conditions in the Czech Compulsory Education. Findings from TIMSS. Jana Straková, Institute of Sociology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and Institute for Information on Education, Czech Republic Many studies show that one of the most important factors related to delivering equity in education is the design of education system, its differentiation, and the age at the time of the first selection. In a system in which early self-selection is constrained by the choice 29
