Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The TALIS Video Study, sponsored by OECD, is currently being conducted in 8 countries/economic areas (Colombia, Chile, Germany, Japan, Madrid (Spain), Mexico, Shanghai (China), and the United Kingdom). The International Consortium conducting the study had to consider a number of conceptual influences – how countries conceptualize teaching, the role of subject matter in measuring teaching, how teaching has been measured through observations and artifact rubrics in the different contexts, and how teaching is conceptualized and measured in PISA and TALIS -- in designing the study and its data collection procedures. This symposium will present a series of presentations that explore these conceptual influences and discuss the ways they shaped various aspects of the TALIS Video Study.
