Alignment Content Analysis of TIMSS and PISA Mathematics and Science Assessments Using the Surveys of Enacted Curriculum Methodology

Through the SEC Collaborative, CCSSO conducted an alignment content analysis of the 2007 TIMSS Mathematics and Science education assessments for students at grades 4 and 8 and the 2006 PISA Mathematics and Science Literacy assessments for students at age 15 (i.e., TIMSS--Trends in Mathematics and Science Study, PISA--Program for International Student Assessment). The content analysis was completed using the methodology and content frameworks of the Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (SEC). A goal of the project for CCSSO was to allow states to analyze the alignment of state content standards and assessments in relation to TIMSS and in relation to PISA.
