Eighth Grade Mathematics Teaching Practices Across Seven Nations

TIMSS 1999 Video Study sampled eighth grade mathematics lessons in seven countries, including Australia. The study was authored by James Hiebert and aimed to develop objective, observational measures of classroom instruction for international comparison.

Use Cases

• Compare teaching practices among countries using coded video observations of lesson features.
• Identify patterns of teaching within each country through quantitative indicators of classroom instruction.
• Develop video cases for professional development by analyzing specific lesson structures and teacher-student interactions.

Strengths

• Sampled lessons from seven countries, enabling cross-national comparison.
• Used video recordings to create objective, observational measures of teaching practices.

Limitations

• Sample size and row count are unknown.
• Data is from 1999 and may not reflect current teaching practices.
• License is closed, restricting reuse.
