Description
In this presentation, Dr. Stigler briefly describes most recent findings from the TIMSS (Third International Mathematics and Science Study) Video Studies of mathematics and science teaching in seven countries, and discuss the implications of these findings for (a) current debates about mathematics teaching and learning in schools, and (b) efforts to improve teaching through professional development. Dr. James Stigler reveals that teaching is a cultural activity, varying more across cultures than within. It is learned implicitly; it is largely based on hidden cultural scripts; it is embedded in wider cultural beliefs and practices; and it is difficult to change.
