After five years of research and more than 500 hours of classroom videos analysed, what have we learned about the quality of teaching in the Nordic countries?
One area where Nordic classrooms score highly is "classroom environment." Teachers in the Nordic countries are very good at creating a respectful and tolerant classroom environment for their students.
What aspects of teaching are important to focus on, and how can we help teachers improve them?
Since 2018 the QUINT Centre has been investigating the quality of teaching in the Nordic countries. What have we learned?
In the LISA-Nordic study, carried out at QUINT, researchers studied more than 500 hours of classroom videos and analysed the teachers’ instruction. The analysis focused on specific aspects of teaching that research has shown have an effect on students’ learning.
Certain aspects of teaching quality were very high in all Nordic countries, other aspects showed room for improvement.
