Analysis of Mathematics Teachers' Class Management Behaviors in Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece using Anchoring Vignettes

Abstract

Countries participate in common tests to compare their positions with other countries and monitor their progress. While conducting these tests, comparing the achievement or attitudes between these countries or individuals without considering the differences between them will result in biased results. The anchoring vignette method was used in PISA 2012 as an alternative to eliminate this bias. In this study, the responses of Turkish, Bulgarian, and Greek students' to the survey questions in PISA 2012 about their mathematics teachers' class management and adjusted response categories based on their responses to anchoring vignettes were analyzed, and whether countries differ in class management or not was investigated.
