Science Practices in TIMSS 2023
Scientific knowledge is developed through rigorous investigation of the natural world using key science
practices to answer questions and solve problems. Students of science must
become proficient at these
practices to develop knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts. Engaging in science practices
also enables students to develop an understanding of how the scientific enterprise is conducted and, by
extension, understand and appreciate the nature of science and scientific knowledge.
Science practices,
which are fundamental to all science disciplines, incorporate skills from daily life and school studies that
students use in a systematic way to conduct scientific inquiry.
TIMSS 2023 assesses a range of science practices in the context of the TIMSS science content
objectives and cognitive domain areas. While these practices are presented
below as an ordered list,
the complexity of scientific inquiry means that the process of employing them is, in reality, most often
nonlinear and carried out in an iterative fashion.
