Wester, Anita; Henriksson, Widar

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v26 n1 p79-90 2000

Examined whether changes in format of mathematics items in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) had any effect on gender differences in performance using a Swedish sample of 8,851 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. Results show no significant changes in gender differences when item format is altered. (SLD)
