The TALIS Video Study is an international study of mathematics teaching practices in eight countries or jurisdictions.
This seminar will explore what the TALIS Video Study can tell us about what mathematics teaching looks like in England, and how these different teaching practices are related to student learning, interest and self-efficacy in mathematics.

Audience
This seminar will be of interest to mostly mathematics teachers and mathematics education researchers, but also researchers in school effectiveness and international comparative work.
Professor Anne Watson will present an outline of a forthcoming theoretical book on mathematics education in the Palgrave Macmillan series, ‘Studies in Alternative Education’. The book examines the practice of teaching mathematics in a wide range of educational spaces, locating ‘care’ as a universal theme in their work.
Professor Anne Watson is retired from University of Oxford Department of Education, having been a teacher in secondary schools before establishing an international reputation for research and practice in the field of mathematics education. Her work is noted for its respect for teachers and teaching, the realities of classroom life, and the embedded issues of social justice.

Gabriel Lee is a Research Officer at the Department of Education. His research interests include mathematics teacher education, mathematical argumentation and proof, teacher beliefs and practices, and the use of language in mathematics classrooms.
Gabriel works on ‘Developing Language-Responsive Mathematics Classrooms’ project, which is led by Dr Jenni Ingram and aims to design a set of materials to support teachers and students to overcome linguistic challenges associated with learning mathematics.
Having started as a secondary mathematics teacher in Hong Kong, Gabriel obtained his DPhil in Education in 2022 and worked as a Lecturer in Education (Secondary Mathematics) at University of Stirling in 2022 and as a Senior Research Fellow at University of Nottingham in 2022–2023. He is a Fellow of Advance HE and currently an Editorial Assistant for the international journal Research in Mathematics Education.
He applies design research methodology, advanced quantitative models, and mixed research methods to the investigation of research questions in mathematics education. He actively engages in research projects, such as ‘Supporting Secondary Mathematics Teachers to Enhance their Students’ Proof Competencies’ (2020–2021) led by Prof Gabriel Stylianides and ‘Evaluation of the University of Nottingham’s Onebillion Mathematics Intervention’ (2017–2019) led by Prof Terezinha Nunes.
