Botswana, Canada, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Georgia, Germany, Malaysia, Norway, Oman, Philippines, Poland, Russian Federation, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, and United States.
Mathematics knowledge
TEDS-M identify the differences across the participating countries in the knowledge that future teachers have of school mathematics and how to teach it.
Teacher's positive influence
TEDS-M studies have shown that there is a relationship between the teachers' influence and the students’ capacity to achieve in mathematics.
Active student involvement
