In Event: 14.046 - Poster Session 1
In Poster Session: 14.046-8 - Big Data in Globalized Environments
The mismatch between an unfavorable learning environment and outstanding achievement of East Asian countries has generated much discussion on the so-called “East Asian paradox”. This study uses the TIMSS 2007 data to unpack the relationship between classroom practices and achievement at the within-country and between-country levels. First, I investigate whether the instructional practices that characterize East Asian classrooms in the East Asian Paradox discourse actually do prevail. Then, I use multilevel models that include the country mean instructional practice and the deviations of the classrooms from the country means. Findings show that the relationships between instructional practices and achievement differ at the classroom level and the country level. Moreover, associations between classroom practices and achievement differed by national context.
