Summary/Abstract: The TIMSS - Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study is conducted within the IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement). TIMSS is conducted in cycles of 4 years for the fourth and eighth grade of primary education, and the research aims to collect information on student achievement as well as educational frameworks in order to acquaint responsible authorities with the results of learning mathematics and science. In TIMSS 2019 Bosnia and Herzegovina participated at the level of the 4th grade of primary education, and students achieved an average result in mathematics of 452 points and 459 points in science, which is statistically significantly below the average of the TIMSS scale. Almost a quarter of students do not reach the basic level of achievement in mathematics, 24% of them, and it is similar in the sciences where 22% of students have very limited knowledge of scientific facts. For both areas, home learning resources are an important factor in student achievement on mathematics and science tests. 4th grade students from BiH achieved statistically significantly better achievements in mathematics and science in the cognitive domain of reasoning than the average achievement in those areas.
