3. Chinese teachers have working conditions which
favor maturation of understanding. U.S. teachers
spend virtually their whole day in front of a class,
while the Chinese teachers have time during the
school day to study their teaching materials, to
work with students who need or merit special attention,
and to interact with colleagues. New teachers
can learn from more experienced ones. All can
study together the key aspects of individual
lessons, an activity they engage in systematically.
They can also sharpen their skills by discussing
mathematical problems. Stevenson and Stigler [SS]
have observed that time for self-development is a
general feature of mathematics education in East
Asia, which, to go by TIMSS [DoEd1–3] as well as
[SS], has the most successful systems of mathematics
education in the world today.
