The Variation in Teaching and Learning Practices and their Contribution to Mathematics Performance in PISA 2012

  • Chapter
What Can PISA 2012 Data Tell Us?

Abstract

Over the years, the issue of students’ learning has attracted many educational researchers’ attention to investigate various factors that contribute to it. Since students’ learning is related to their academic success or failure, the role of the teacher has been identified as the paramount factor in this regard (e.g., Rockoff, 2004; Hanushek, 2011; Aaronson et al., 2007).
