The success and the failure in PISA assessments caused different debates, but there is no data linking success with teaching methods. Some countries attempted to draw conclusions about their education policy, while in others failure was associated with student's anxiety regarding tests. On the basis of a text that explains the reasons for success in Finland * I wonder if all five factors match other countries conclusions about successful participation. With respect to this factors can you provide data about the teaching method (s) you think are positively related to success in mathematics;
* George Malaty University of Joensuu, Finland: "The five main reasons are the success of pre-service teacher education, the culture of the teaching profession, the success of in-service teacher education, the different efforts which have been made to develop mathematics education and the daily traditions of school life in Finland "
@ Zoi Amprazi, I read some articles or books by East Asian and Western math educators. Maybe East Asian and Western math scholars use different approaches in teaching.
Thank you for your kind answer . I don't mind waiting till is published. Best regards.
Students' achievement is related to teaching and learning methods. I have not studied the PISA studies, but I studied students' performance of 38 countries of TIMSS 2003. It seems that China and some Western countries have different focii in teaching. My article described a dominated learning and teaching theories in East Asian countries. The article is here: Chapter Confucian Education Ideology and Its Impact on Chinese Mathe...
Zhaoyun Wang thank you very much. Apart from the ideas spread one paragraph is somehow what I had in my mind about East Asian teaching. "The “two basics” have always been kept in the framework ..
The two basics emphasize the mathematics core content which should be grasped
by students....."

Zhaoyun Wang You know better and you can make comparison. For me the field is new but you opened another door. I will study carefully East Asian math scholars.
Have you seen this study from Andrews et al (2014) PISA, TIMSS and Finnish mathematics teaching: An enigma in search of an explanation.
