International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA)
Abstract
A survey of the teaching and learning of mathematics in the schools of 20 countries around the world. This is a collection of scanned copies of the
instrumentation used in the IEA Second International Mathematics Study. It comprises all the tests and questionnaires used in the Population A (middle school / grade 8 equivalent) longitudinal study. Also, the achievement tests for the cross-sectional study are included; these are needed for interpretation of the cross-sectional countries and also for the longitudinal pretest in Japan.

The versions scanned are for the most part from Ontario, which are virtually identical to those used in New Zealand and the USA. The cross-sectional tests are from the distribution from the Wellington centre.
Countries differed in the extra questions given to students about calculator use and individual OTL, which were usually embedded on the answer sheets.
Note: there are two versions of each file. One is the original scan and the other (with the word "searchable" at the end of the description) has been run through Object Character Recognition (OCR) to make it searchable.United States Department of EducationNational Science Foundation (NSF)U of I OnlyNon-public data, but used by University researchers
