Andrew G. Biggs; John Mantus – American Enterprise Institute, 2024
There is much public concern over the poor math performances of U.S. students compared to other developed countries. In this paper, we consider the role of instruction style in student performance on the math literacy portion of the OECD's PISA exam, specifically looking at the increasingly-popular student-oriented style of classroom instruction…

Xin Liu; Kajsa Yang Hansen; Jan De Neve; Martin Valcke – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
The present study examines the measurement property of instructional quality in mathematics education, building on data from teachers and students, by combing TALIS 2013 and PISA 2012 linkage data from seven countries. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to examine the dimensionality of the construct instructional quality in mathematics…

Saarinen, Aino; Lipsanen, Jari; Hintsanen, Mirka; Huotilainen, Minna; Keltikangas-Järvinen, Liisa – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2020
Introduction: Evidence has remained scarce whether teaching practices might be linked to students' educational equality. This study investigated (i) whether student-oriented teaching practices are associated with students' learning outcomes in mathematics, and (ii) whether student-oriented teaching might increase equality in learning outcomes…

Echazarra, Alfonso; Salinas, Daniel; Méndez, Ildefonso; Denis, Vanessa; Rech, Giannina – OECD Publishing, 2016
This paper examines how particular teaching and learning strategies are related to student performance on specific PISA test questions, particularly mathematics questions. The report compares teacher-directed instruction and memorisation learning strategies, at the traditional ends of the teaching and learning spectrums, and student-oriented…

Özcan, Zeynep Çigdem – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
Studies highlight that using appropriate strategies during problem solving is important to improve problem-solving skills and draw attention to the fact that using these skills is an important part of students' self-regulated learning ability. Studies on this matter view the self-regulated learning ability as key to improving problem-solving…
