Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has sponsored the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) since 2013, offering a unique international perspective on teaching and learning. The TALIS Video Study (TVS), also sponsored by OECD, is an ambitious eight-country research project that complements TALIS by using lesson videos, classroom artifacts, survey questionnaires and student assessments to gain innovative insights into mathematics teaching and learning. This session brings together research from four studies based on the TVS in order to: (a) describe survey-based measures of teacher quality; (b) describe affordances and constraints of various measurement modes; (c) discuss how opportunity to learn interacts with teaching quality and explains student learning and (d) present different conceptualizations of teaching quality measures.
