Résumé du livre
How is reading literacy taught in Nordic classrooms, and how is this influenced by the curricula?
How can we improve mathematics teaching in Nordic classrooms?
What is the relationship between school performance and policy variations?
How do teachers’ attitudes, beliefs and practices influence pupils’ learning outcomes?
What characterizes the top performing pupils, and how can we stimulate more pupils to perform at the highest levels?
These
are some of the questions that are discussed in this collection of
articles that are based on the results of the IEA studies TIMSS and
PIRLS 2011. The articles aim to provide input for policy discussions and
further policy development within the Nordic countries. Therefore, the
main target groups are educational ministers and policymakers at all
levels. These analyses will also provide input to the joint Nordic
initiatives on educational development.
