The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011 and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2011 are coordinated by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). TIMSS is administered every four years in more than 60 countries and provides data for internationally benchmarking U.S. performance in mathematics and science at the fourth- and eighth-grade levels against other countries around the world. PIRLS is administered every five years in more than 50 countries and provides assessment data for internationally benchmarking U.S. performance in fourth-grade reading. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has conducted the international TIMSS and PIRLS field test in spring 2010 and received OMB approval for full-scale school recruitment for the two studies (OMB# 1850-0645 v.6). In this submission, NCES seeks OMB approval to conduct TIMSS and PIRLS 2011 full-scale data collection in the United States in April-May 2011.

There is an increase in burden in relation to the burden approved in the current record, because the last approval was for the field test and full-scale recruitment only (OMB# 1850-0645 v.6), while this clearance request is for full-scale recruitment and data collection activities. The central change to TIMSS and PIRLS from previous cycles is the effort to combine the grade 4 sample and administer both TIMSS and PIRLS in some of the same schools. Compared with having two independent samples, this approach will reduce costs and total burden time on schools by reducing the number of schools that will need to be contacted and will need to fill out a questionnaire.
