About ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Advanced 2015
In 2015, IEA and its ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ & PIRLS International Study Center at Boston College conducted ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ 2015 at fourth and eighth grades and ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Advanced 2015 for students in the ο¬nal year of secondary school enrolled in special advanced mathematics and physics programs or tracks. Both ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ 2015 and ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Advanced 2015 provide 20-year trend measures for countries that participated in the ο¬rst ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ assessments in 1995.
ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ 2015 and ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Advanced 2015 continue the long history of international assessments in mathematics and science conducted by IEA – the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement. IEA is an independent international cooperative of national research institutions and government agencies that has been conducting studies of cross-national achievement since 1959.
