I am a researcher interested in analyzing the raw data from the TIMSS and PIRLS studies. Please navigate to the 'Databases' section of the website. Identify what kind of data access is provided (e.g., online tools, downloadable files), what software or tools are recommended for data analysis, and if there are any user guides or documentation available to assist with data usage.
Navigate to 'timssandpirls.bc.edu'. Click on the 'Databases' link (ID 70). Identify the primary method(s) for accessing the data (e.g., online analysis system, downloadable datasets). Look for information regarding recommended software or tools for analyzing the data. Determine if user guides, documentation, or tutorials are available to help users work with the databases. Synthesize the findings to answer the proposed task.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Databases' page. The agent identifies that data is primarily accessed through the 'IEA Data Explorer' online tool and also mentions downloadable datasets. The agent states that the IEA Data Explorer is the recommended tool for online analysis, and mentions that downloadable datasets are typically in SPSS or SAS format, implying these statistical software packages are needed for analysis. The agent confirms the availability of user guides or documentation for the IEA Data Explorer and/or downloadable datasets.
