520    This technical report explores the extent of potential 
       bias introduced into the U.S. Trends in International 
       Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) through nonresponse 
       on the part of schools. Data from the third cycle of TIMSS,
       conducted in April-June, 2003, are the basis for the 
       analyses. The analyses compare selected characteristics 
       likely to reflect bias in participation from participating
       and non-participating schools. Two forms of analysis were 
       undertaken: a test of the independence of each school 
       characteristic and participation status, and logistic 
       regression in which the conditional independence of 
       selected school characteristics as predictors of 
       participation was examined. The investigation into 
       nonresponse bias at the school level for U.S. TIMSS 2003 
       samples for grades 4 and 8 shows that there was no 
       statistically significant relationship detected between 
       participation status and the majority of school 
       characteristics that are available for analysis. An 
       appendix provides technical notes. (Contains 29 tables and
       4 footnotes.).
