Zusammenfassung:In February, 1988, random samples of students from five countries (Ireland, Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and four Canadian provinces (British Columbia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec) were given an assessment of mathematics and science achievement, and a questionnaire. This document summarizes the results of these tests and compares achievement, experiences and attitudes across the international sample. Findings are organized by achievement, instruction and attitude, and topics for both science and mathematics. The context of the results for each country is summarized in a commentary. Appendices include procedures and data. (CW)
