Abstract

This article focuses on the trends in eighth graders' SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT as well as several students’ indicators and science teachers’ indicators among MUSLIM COUNTRIES (and Armenia) which are located in the Middle East and North Africa and participated in TIMSS 1999, 2003 and 2007. In the present study, the mean of plausible values represents students' SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT and Jackknife Repeated Replication method was used for the estimation of sampling error. There was a significant correlation between the average science performance of eighth graders in 12 countries and science self-concept, attitudes towards science, school connectedness, and school climate. In many of the countries under study, the correlation between science self-concept and SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT for girls was higher than that of their male counterparts. Considering the trends across the countries which participated in two or three of TIMSS studies, the students' average science performance showed a trend towards improvement. The extent of improvement observed in Iranian students' achievement from 1999 to 2007 was less than that of four countries. Improvement in girls’ and boys' average performance indicates that improvement in girls' achievement was higher than that of boys. Trends in STUDENTS' INDICATORS showed that science self-concept has decreased, attitude towards science has increased and the two indexes of school connectedness and school climate have remained unchanged. Trends in TEACHERS' INDICATORS showed a trend toward improvement. If the trend in Iran's performance is compared with that of some more successful countries in the region, it becomes evident that improvement in Iranian students' achievement is less than that of their counterparts in several more successful countries in the region.
