Key questions for mathematics teachers - and how PISA can answer them

EduSkills OECD

Ten Questions for Mathematics Teachers… and how PISA can help answer them aims to change that. This report delves into topics such as, “How much should I encourage my students to be responsible for their own learning in mathematics?” or “As a mathematics teacher, how important is the relationship I have with my students?”. It gives teachers timely and relevant data and analyses that can help them reflect on their teaching strategies and how students learn. Contents Introduction: A teacher’s guide to mathematics teaching and learning Question 1: How much should I direct student learning in my mathematics classes? Question 2: Are some mathematics teaching methods more effective than others? Question 3: As a mathematics teacher, how important is the relationship I have with my students? Question 4: What do we know about memorisation and learning mathematics? Question 5: Can I help my students learn how to learn mathematics? Question 6: Should I encourage students to use their creativity in mathematics? Question 7: Do students’ backgrounds influence how they learn mathematics? Question 8: Should my teaching emphasise mathematical concepts or how those concepts are applied in the real world? Question 9: Should I be concerned about my students’ attitudes towards mathematics? Question 10: What can teachers learn from PISA?
