Description

After almost 30 years, we repeatedly administered the TIMSS Advanced 1995 specialized physics test to final-year students of gymnasiums in the Czech Republic. In 1995, 819 students from 90 gymnasiums participated; in 2023, the sample consisted of 1602 students from 73 gymnasiums. We compared the overall mean physics achievement, the mean achievement of males and females, and the mean achievement in the physics content areas between 1995 and 2023. We analysed changes in individual answer categories for open-ended items. A significant decrease in the mean achievement of the students in the physics test compared to 1995 was observed.
