Abstract

This report explores the relationships between mathematics teachers’ teaching strategies and student learning outcomes in eight countries, using information from the TALIS-PISA link database. First, the study seeks to understand the shaping of teaching strategies by examining the way teachers use different classroom practices and the prevalence of these strategies among teachers across schools and countries. As a result of this exploration, three teaching strategies are put forward: active learning, cognitive activation and teacher-directed instruction. Second, the report aims at identifying the teaching strategies that are positively associated with student skill acquisition. Third and finally, it analyses the contributions of the school and the classroom settings, the teacher background and beliefs, to the implementation of the teaching strategies found to be positively related to student learning outcomes. Results show that cognitive activation strategies and, to a lesser extent, active learning strategies, have a strong association with students’ achievement in mathematics. However, this association seems to be weaker in schools with socio-economically disadvantaged students. Also, teachers from the same school tend to share the same approach to teaching, which indicates that these teaching strategies are part of a “teaching culture” within the school. Teacher self-efficacy and teacher collaboration are shown to be the factors more often associated with the implementation of cognitive activation strategies and active learning. Following on from these findings, the paper concludes with a series of policy recommendations. Ce rapport explore les relations entre les stratégies pédagogiques des enseignants de mathématique et les résultats d’apprentissage des élèves à partir d’information de la base de données de l’option « lien TALIS-PISA » dans 8 pays. Tout d’abord, l’enquête cherche à comprendre comment s'élaborent les stratégies pédagogiques en examinant la façon dont les enseignants emploient des pratiques scolaires différentes et la prévalence de ces stratégies parmi les enseignants, dans les établissements et les pays. Trois stratégies pédagogiques en sont ressorties : l’apprentissage actif, l’activation cognitive et l’enseignement direct. Le rapport a pour but d’identifier les stratégies qui sont associées de manière positive à l’acquisition de compétences chez l’élève. Finalement, il analyse les contributions des établissements et des caractéristiques des classes, de la formation et des croyances de l’enseignant, à la mise en oeuvre de stratégies pédagogiques considérées comme participant de manière positive aux résultats d’apprentissage de l’élève. Les résultats montrent que les stratégies d’activation cognitives et, dans une moindre proportion, les stratégies d’apprentissage actif, sont très fortement associées à la réussite de l’étudiant en mathématiques. Cependant, cette corrélation semble être plus faible dans les établissements où se trouvent des élèves désavantagés sur les plans économique et social. En outre, les enseignants provenant de la même école ont tendance à utiliser la même approche, ce qui indique que ces stratégies font partie d’une « culture d’enseignement » au sein de l’établissement. L’efficacité personnelle et la collaboration entre enseignants sont les facteurs qui sont le plus souvent associés à la mise en oeuvre de stratégies d’activation cognitive et d’apprentissage actif. Sur la base de ces résultats, le rapport présente une série de recommandations.
