The Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ 2023 Assessment Frameworks provides the foundation for the four international assessments that comprise IEA’s Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ 2023: Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ Mathematics—Fourth Grade, Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ Mathematics—Eighth Grade, Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ Science—Fourth Grade, and Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ Science—Eighth Grade.
The Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ 2023 Mathematics Framework and the Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ 2023 Science Framework
presented in Chapters 1 and 2, respectively, describe the major content and cognitive domains in mathematics and
science tested at the fourth and eighth grades. Mathematics and science content domains and topic areas within
those domains are described separately for the fourth and eighth grades. These are further elaborated with
specific topics and objectives. The cognitive domains of knowing, applying, and reasoning
describe the thinking skills students are expected to use when responding to the mathematics and science
assessment items. Chapter 3 contains the Âé¶¹ÉçÊÓÆµ 2023 Context Questionnaire Framework describing the
home, school, and classroom factors associated with students’ learning in mathematics and science that will be
investigated via the questionnaires completed by students, their parents, teachers, and school principals.
Finally, Chapter 4 provides an overview of the assessment design, including general parameters for item
development.
