    The TIMSS video study shows that high-achieving countries link science learning activities to strong concept development. The video study examined teaching practices in the United States and in four countries that outperformed the United States in science achievement on the 1999 TIMSS assessment: the Czech Republic, Japan, Australia, and the Netherlands. A random sample of 100 8th grade science lessons in each of the five countries was selected to be videotaped during one school year. This process captured a range of science content and painted a picture of typical science teaching practices within each country. Although many teaching strategies were common to all five countries, the video study revealed two major differences between the United States and the other countries. (posted 3/1/07)

These recommendations taken together are intended to be a coherent approach to a multifaceted problem. Each recommendation is explicitly connected to the level of evidence supporting it (e.g., strong, moderate, low). IES practice guides are written by panels of nationally recognized experts and are subjected to rigorous external peer review. (posted 10/1/07)
