Classroom Context: The Classroom Context for Year 5 Students' Mathematics and Science Achievement in 2006

Publication Details

This report examines student, teacher, and principal responses to questions on teaching and learning within the classroom context; these questions were contained in background questionnaires in the TIMSS 2006/07 study. Characteristics of teachers, including their preparedness to teach mathematics and science, teaching activities that took place within mathematics and science lessons, resource, and teacher attitudes and perceptions are explored. Comparisons have also been made with New Zealand across cycles and also with other countries.
