The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is an international comparison study of mathematics and science performance, organised by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). The study’s main purpose is to provide participating countries with internationally comparable data on the performance and attitudes of 9–10-year olds (year 5) and 13–14-year olds (year 9) in mathematics and science, together with comparisons of the curriculum and the teaching of these subjects in primary and secondary schools. Sixty-four countries and benchmarking systems participated in TIMSS 2019. England has participated in every TIMSS since the study was first carried out in 1995 and in each subsequent 4-yearly cycle1, and the results provide valuable information on trends in England’s absolute and relative performance over 24 years. In England, testing was conducted with pupils in years 5 and 9 between February and June 2019, with a sample of 9,595 pupils across 368 schools. England participated in the new eTIMSS format in which the majority of pupils took the tests on tablets, complemented by a paper-based bridging study2 where a smaller sample of pupils were recruited to sit a paper-based test that was used to link the eTIMSS assessment to the historic TIMSS assessment scale. Just over half of the participating countries took part in eTIMSS. England’s year 5 cohort started school in 2013 and had their key stage 1 assessments in the summer of 20163. The year 9 cohort started primary school in 2009 and secondary school in 2016, and will take their GCSEs in summer 2021. This Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2019: National Report for England focuses on comparisons of England’s pupils’ performance and their experiences of mathematics and science teaching compared to the highest-performing countries, other English-speaking countries and a selection of other European countries. The TIMSS International Report 2019 offers comparisons across all participating countries4. 1 Only year 9 pupils participated in TIMSS assessments in 1999 internationally. 2 6,761 pupils in 275 schools participated in eTIMSS in England in 2019; 2,834 pupils in 93 schools participated in the bridging study. 3 See https://www.gov.uk/guidance/2016-key-stage-1-assessment-and-reporting-arrangements- ara/section-8-teacher-assessment 4 See http://timssandpirls.bc.edu/timss2019/international-results/ 5 How does the mathematics and science performance of pupils in England compare internationally? In 2019, pupils in England performed, on average, significantly5 above the TIMSS centrepoint (500) in mathematics and science in both years 5 and 9. Compared to 2015, England’s performance significantly improved in mathematics at year 5, decreased significantly in science at year 9, and remained stable in mathematics at year 9 and science at year 5. Between 1995 and 2019, the mathematics performance of year 5 and year 9 pupils in England has improved. The performance of year 5 pupils in science has been more varied, but has also seen some significant improvement over the 24-year period. In year 9, the science performance of pupils in England has remained broadly static over the same period until the decrease in 2019. England’s performance in 2019 placed it behind the highest-performing group of countries, but significantly above the TIMSS centrepoint in mathematics and science in both years 5 and 9. Overall, as in previous years, 5 East Asian countries that participated in TIMSS (Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong6, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Singapore), together with Russia, performed strongly across both subjects and year groups, although there were other countries that performed highly in 1 or more areas. 5 Where the term ‘significant’ is used this refers to statistical significance. 6 Hong Kong’s pupils’ scores in year 9 science decreased significantly in 2019. 6 Mathematics – year 5 The trend in England’s year 5 mathematics score is one of improvement over time, from significantly below the TIMSS centrepoint in 1995 to significantly above it in 20197. Figure 1 shows that the performance of pupils in England has increased in each consecutive TIMSS cycle. The increase in England’s average score (10 scale points) between 2015 and 2019 means year 5 pupils’ performance in 2019 was significantly above that scored in all previous TIMSS cycles. Figure 1: Trend in average year 5 mathematics score (England) Source: TIMSS 2019 Note 1: The 1999 cycle of TIMSS included only year 9 pupils, represented by the dashed line. Note 2: The 1995 score is an average across the performance of year 4 and year 5 pupils as the 1995 cycle assessed pupils across both year groups. Note 3: Response rates for TIMSS in England were relatively low in 1995 and 2003. Note 4: Mathematics scores that represent a significant increase on the previous TIMSS cycle are marked with an asterisk (*). Seven countries scored significantly higher than England in 2019, 1 country scored at broadly the same level and 49 countries scored significantly lower. The same 7 countries also performed significantly above England in 2015: the 5 East Asian countries (Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Singapore), Northern Ireland and Russia. 7 The 1995 score was an average across the performance of year 4 and year 5 pupils. 7 Figure 2 shows that between 1995 and 2019 there has been a significant improvement in the proportion of year 5 pupils in England reaching the advanced international benchmark and the high and intermediate benchmarks or above8. The proportion of year 5 pupils reaching the low international benchmark or above remained the same in 2019 as 2015, having improved significantly between 2011 and 2015.

  • Analysis of the Absorption of Science Learning in National Examinations in 2019 at the Junior High School Level in Sleman District
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 03, MARCH 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 Analysis Of The Absorption Of Science Learning In National Examinations In 2019 At The Junior High School Level In Sleman District Muhammad Minan Chusni, Sulistyo Saputro, Suranto, Sentot Budi Rahardjo Abstract: This study aims to describe the ability of students in national examinations in science learning in terms of their absorption. The method used in this study was a survey with a quantitative approach. The object of research is 146 junior high schools with a total of 14,983 students in the Sleman district. The data used were the national exam's absorption of science learning provided by the education assessment center of the ministry of education and culture. The results showed that the highest mean of absorption is in the material aspects of mechanics and the solar system of 71.60 which is classified as good category, while the lowest average is in the material aspects of waves, electricity and magnetism at 45.56 which is classified as fewer categories. In addition, the lowest mean on the indicator question about waves, electricity and magnetism is "presenting an illustration of two people with eye defects wearing glasses and then determining the ratio of reading distance between the two people" amounted to 28.39, which is classified as very poor category. From these results it can be concluded that the indicator questions about optical material in the ability to analysis are still very poor.

  • INTEGRATION of SCIENCE and LANGUAGE with a FOCUS on MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS: SHARED OPPORTUNITIES and RESPONSIBILITIES Okhee Lee* New York University
    Keynote Conference Address INTEGRATION OF SCIENCE AND LANGUAGE WITH A FOCUS ON MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS: SHARED OPPORTUNITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Okhee Lee* New York University This article highlights the importance of promoting science and language learning for all students, especially multilingual learners. In recent years, there have been parallel instructional shifts in science and language with multilingual learners, which enables integration of science and language in mutually supportive ways. These instructional shifts have resulted in new opportunities for collaboration between language educators and science educators as well as development of new instructional resources. Such collaboration and resources are essential for creating equity for multilingual learners. In this article, I describe contemporary perspectives on integrating science and language with multilingual learners across policy, research, and practice. I also provide a classroom example using a unit from the Science And Integrated Language (SAIL) curriculum and a series of webinars and briefs based on the SAIL curriculum for the New York State Education Department. It was an honor to be invited to give a talk at the 50th anniversary of the New York State TESOL conference in 2020. I feel privileged to be included among the group of distinguished speakers invited to address the organization. I am honored again to be invited to write this article for our membership. The purpose of the article is to highlight the importance of promoting science and language learning for multilingual learners. New opportunities for collaboration between language educators and science educators are being forged as well as new instructional resources are being developed. Such collaboration and resources are essential for creating equity for multilingual learners.

Evolutionary processes transpiring in the stages of lithopanspermia Ian von Hegner Aarhus University Abstract Lithopanspermia is a theory proposing a natural exchange of organisms between solar system bodies as a result of asteroidal or cometary impactors. Research has examined not only the physics of the stages themselves but also the survival probabilities for life in each stage. However, although life is the primary factor of interest in lithopanspermia, this life is mainly treated as a passive cargo. Life, however, does not merely passively receive an onslaught of stress from surroundings; instead, it reacts. Thus, planetary ejection, interplanetary transport, and planetary entry are only the first three factors in the equation. The other factors are the quality, quantity, and evolutionary strategy of the transported organisms.

  • Student Voters: Did They Make a Difference?
    Student voters: Did they make a difference? Nick Hillman HEPI Report 133 About the author Nick Hillman has been the Director of HEPI since January 2014. Given the topic of this paper, he declares an interest as the Conservative candidate in Cambridge at the 2010 general election. Executive Summary • The run up to the 2019 general election saw huge debate on the likely importance of the student vote to the result. This paper takes the 25 parliamentary constituencies in the UK with the highest proportion of students – where students make up more than 17.5% of the population – to try and assess what role students played in 2019 and the previous three general elections in 2010, 2015 and 2017. • It is easy to exaggerate the importance of the student vote because of the conditions that must be in place for students to alter the outcome in any constituency. However, students have proved decisive in some places – for example, students helped Labour win both Canterbury and Leeds North West in 2017 and hold them in 2019, and students are also likely to have helped Labour hold the marginal seat of Coventry South in 2019. • In England, Labour do much better in constituencies with lots of students than they do overall and the Conservatives do considerably worse. In both instances, the gap has been growing at every recent election. In 2019, Labour’s share of the vote was 25 percentage points higher in English student seats than in England as a whole (compared to 11 percentage points in 2010) while the Conservatives’ vote share was 25 percentage points lower in student seats than in England as a whole (compared to 17% in 2010).

  • Recovery Strategies Following COVID-19 Disruption to Cervical Cancer Screening and Their Impact on Excess Diagnoses
    www.nature.com/bjc ARTICLE Recovery strategies following COVID-19 disruption to cervical cancer screening and their impact on excess diagnoses Alejandra Castanon 1, Matejka Rebolj1, Francesca Pesola 1 and Peter Sasieni 1 BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted cervical cancer screening services. Assuming increases to screening capacity are unrealistic, we propose two recovery strategies: one extends the screening interval by 6 months for all and the other extends the interval by 36/60 months, but only for women who have already missed being screened. METHODS: Using routine statistics from England we estimate the number of women affected by delays to screening. We used published research to estimate the proportion of screening age women with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and progression rates to cancer. Under two recovery scenarios, we estimate the impact of COVID-19 on cervical cancer over one screening cycle (3 years at ages 25–49 and 5 years at ages 50–64 years). The duration of disruption in both scenarios is 6 months. In the first scenario, 10.7 million women have their screening interval extended by 6 months. In the second, 1.5 million women (those due to be screened during the disruption) miss one screening cycle, but most women have no delay. RESULTS: Both scenarios result in similar numbers of excess cervical cancers: 630 vs. 632 (both 4.3 per 100,000 women in the population). However, the scenario in which some women miss one screening cycle creates inequalities—they would have much higher rates of excess cancer: 41.5 per 100,000 delayed for screened women compared to those with a 6-month delay (5.9 per 100,000).
