21 news of the week@SCIENCE 之二：东亚学生在数学和科学方面依然遥遥领先已有1人参与

East Asian Students Still Excel In Math, Science
东亚学生在数学和科学方面依然遥遥领先

The latest results from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) released last week show that fourth- and eighth-grade students from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea have retained—and in some cases widened—their lead over the rest of the 63 countries that took the tests in 2011. “Revolutionary results require revolutionary changes,” says Michael Martin, co-director of the International Study Center at Boston College that administers the quadrennial TIMSS as well as PIRLS, a similar test of reading and literacy skills. Those changes are more likely to occur, he says, in countries that have a centralized education system and can move quickly to embrace the latest thinking on how to improve schooling.

世界数学和科学研究趋势（TIMSS）上周发布的最新结果显示，在2011年全世界参加测试的63个国家中，来自新加坡，香港，台湾和韩国的四年级和八年级学生继续保持对其他国家学生的优势，有些方面的差距甚至还在扩大。波士顿学院国际研究中心负责四年一次的TIMSS测试和PIRLS测试，一项与TIMSS类似的阅读和写作测试。Michael Martin是该研究中心的负责人之一，他说“突破性的结果需要突破性的变革”。这些变革会发生在那些已经建立了集中教育体系的国家的可能性会大一些，他们可以迅速行动来支持关于如何提升学校教育质量的最新想法。

U.S. students placed 11th in fourth-grade math, ninth in eighth-grade math, seventh in fourth-grade science, and 10th in eighth grade science. Fourth-graders showed significant gains in math, whereas U.S. scores in the other three categories remained flat.

美国学生在数学方面，四年级和八年级分别排名第11和第9，而在科学方面四年级和八年级分别排在第4和第10. 四年级学生在数学方面取得了巨大进步，然而美国学生整体在其它三个方面依然平庸。
