TIMSS 2003 International Database User Guide – Supplement 2 i

Supplement 2: National Adaptations of International Background Questionnaire Items

Overview

This supplement describes adaptations made by countries to the international versions of the

background questionnaire items. It provides users with a guide to evaluate the availability of

internationally comparable data for use in secondary analyses involving the TIMSS 2003 background variables. It also provides information on the sampling stratification used in national

samples.

National adaptations to questionnaires are presented in seven sections corresponding to each of

the Eighth or Fourth Grade questionnaire types:

• Section 1: Eighth Grade - Student Questionnaire

• Section 2: Eighth Grade - Mathematics Teacher Questionnaire

• Section 3: Eighth Grade - Science Teacher Questionnaire

• Section 4: Eighth Grade - School Questionnaire

• Section 5: Eighth Grade - Sampling Stratification Information

• Section 6: Fourth Grade - Student Questionnaire • Section 7: Fourth Grade - Teacher Questionnaire

• Section 8: Fourth Grade - School Questionnaire

• Section 9: Fourth Grade - Sampling Stratification Information

To each questionnaire, information is included when the version of the question administered in

a country was different from the version of the question as it appears in the international version

of the questionnaires. For each question, the following information is provided:

• Question number in questionnaire

• Question text

• Variable Name(s)

• National Adaptation Documentation, listed by country.

In the National Adaptation Documentation, countries are given one of two different data codes:

• Code D: National data for country are included in the international database.

This code is used for questions that were to be defined by the country and the specific

national version is considered appropriate for comparison.

• Code X: National data for country are NOT included in the international database.

This code is used to refer to all questions that were not administered, not applicable, or

deleted for any of several reasons (e.g., not internationally comparable, removed per

country request, or removed due to other data problems).

The documentation provided is as complete as possible given the information provided by the National Research Coordinators at the time this document was published.
