IEA INSIDER 2025
TIMSS 2027 continues to serve as the global standard for long-term trends in international assessments that span grades 4 and 8. Capitalizing on advances in technology-based testing, the 2027 round expands the assessment of mathematics and science. Furthermore, environmental challenges are becoming increasingly urgent and visible. Education systems worldwide are responding by integrating sustainability and environmental responsibility into their national curricula. Reflecting this global shift, TIMSS 2027 expands the framework of environmental awareness, incorporating both knowledge and attitudes directly into its science assessment and contextual questionnaires. For policymakers, this advancement offers timely, globally comparable data on how well students are becoming prepared to understand and address critical environmental issues. These insights are key for shaping future science curricula, instructional strategies, and broader education policy aimed at environmental responsibility.
