Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (42nd, Perth, Western Australia, Jun 30-Jul 4, 2019)
"The Enactment Project" seeks to find out in more detail what is happening in Singapore mathematics classrooms. In particular, the video data of 30 teachers suggests that there is a distinctive Singapore secondary mathematics pedagogy, almost like its DNA, which is characterized by cycles of Development, Seatwork and Review (DSR). This paper reports findings from the statistical analysis of a survey on a further 689 teachers regarding aspects of the DSR. [This paper is the fourth in a symposium of four papers.

For the second paper "Instructional Strategies Adopted by Experienced Secondary Teachers When Enacting the Singapore School Mathematics Curriculum," see ED604247. For the third paper "Chronologically-Grounded Survey," see ED604248.]
