This book provides a unique international comparative perspective
on diverse issues and practices in mathematics education
between and among the US and five high-performing
TIMSS education systems, Japan, China, Singapore, South
Korea, and Taiwan. The book offers multiple perspectives on
the important factors that contribute to mathematics teaching and
learning in different educational systems and cultural contexts.
Using large scale data generated by numerous international
comparative studies, the book analyzes and provides context for
various methodological perspectives.

various methodological perspectives.
The book raises compelling questions and issues for mathematics
education researchers, leading to a critical examination of
what can be learned from other education systems. Authors address
four major research perspectives by critically examining
cross-national similarities and differences, such as research on
the influence of curriculum on student learning; research on
institutional systems of mathematics teacher education; research
on improving teacher knowledge and pedagogical approaches; and
research using large-scale data. This collection of perspectives
serves as a foundation for reviewing and analyzing the
international comparative studies introduced in the book.
