| Abstract: | The question addressed in this chapter is how “fair” the TIMSS tests were to the various participating countries. The Test-Curriculum Matching Analysis (TCMA) method was used to investigate how results might have changed if different subsets of TIMSS items were considered. The method computes the average proportion correct for each country on each selection of appropriate items. The results of the TCMA is a square matrix, with the rows representing the various results for each country and the columns representing the different items sets deemed appropriate for each country. The results suggested that the relative positions of the countries changed very little as a result of the item selection. |
