| Indicator Name: | TIMSS: Male 8th grade students reaching the advanced international benchmark of science achievement (%) |
| Indicator Source: | International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA)'s Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study | macro-rankings.com |
| Indicator Description: | TIMSS: Male 8th grade students reaching the advanced international benchmark of science achievement (%) is the share of male 8th grade students scoring at least 625 on the science assessment. Students at this benchmark can communicate an understanding of complex and abstract concepts in biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. Students demonstrate some conceptual knowledge about cells and the characteristics, classification, and life processes of organisms. They communicate an understanding of the complexity of ecosystems and adaptations of organisms, and apply an understanding of life cycles and heredity. Students also communicate an understanding of the structure of matter and physical and chemical properties and changes and apply knowledge of forces, pressure, motion, sound, and light. They reason about electrical circuits and properties of magnets. Students apply knowledge and communicate understanding of the solar system and Earth’s processes, structures, and physical features. They understand basic features of scientific investigation. They also combine information from several sources to solve problems and draw conclusions, and they provide written explanations to communicate scientific knowledge. Data reflects country performance in the stated year according to TIMSS reports, but may not be comparable across years or countries.
