Abstract | As with any test administered across linguistically and culturally diverse groups, evidence suggesting the equivalence of score meaning across countries is needed for valid comparisons. The current study examines the cross-cultural equivalence of score interpretations from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS)-1999 from a cognitive-psychometric perspective. A cognitive model describing the knowledge, strategies, and processing skills measured by the TIMSS-R mathematics test was previously validated in several countries. In order to establish the cross-cultural equivalence of TIMSS scores for the Taiwanese student population, the fit of the cognitive model to the Taiwanese item responses was examined. High student-mastery classification rates and good prediction of scores based on attribute mastery probabilities supported the fit of the cognitive model in the current study. Further, we suggest that cognitive-psychometric modeling approaches like those applied in the current study could be useful for examining more substantive issues of score validity and equivalence in test translations and adaptations.
