| Abstract | One of the most comprehensive studies to highlight the achievement gap between students in the United States and those in many other countries is the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). TIMSS showed that a handful of countries (with Japan near the top) consistently outperformed the others studied (including the United States). A pair of respected researchers set out to determine why. This article discusses the analysis conducted by James W. Stigler and James Hiebert, who analyzed videotapes from hundreds of classrooms that were part of the TIMSS study. The classroom observations revealed stark differences in the instructional practices of Japanese and American teachers, differences the researchers dubbed a "teaching gap." Stigler and Hiebert collected their observations in a book they titled "The Teaching Gap" (Free Press, 1999). In it, they argue that shortcomings in teacher practice are hard to resolve in the current U.S. system, which provides few opportunities for teachers to hone their craft. While teachers from other nations have regular occasions to work together, American teachers largely work alone with few chances to collaborate in ways that raise their level of practice. (ERIC). |
