The IEA Study of Mathematics III
The Second International Mathematics Study was conducted in the schools of 20 education systems under the sponsorship of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). This is the third of three international reports, each of which focus on a major component of the study. This volume describes the main findings from analyses of classroom processes and mathematic growth by posing such questions as: how successful have the national education systems been in providing the opportunity to learn mathematics by the end of the lower secondary school; what do students at the lower secondary level know across educational systems and what have they learned during their most recent schooling experiences; and what teaching practices are utilized in the mathematics classroom of the various systems and to what extent can these classroom processes explain differences in student achievements?
Testing for Learning

Detecting and Preventing Classroom Cheating
Cheating is a problem that affects all teachers. This no-nonsense approach to cheating is essential reading for all teachers, principals, and policy makers. Practical classroom examples show how cheating occurs, how it can be detected, and how it can be deterred. Gregory Cizek, esteemed scholar and former classroom teacher, combines key findings from the most current research with practical classroom examples. Important features include: -glossary of key terms -tips for detecting and preventing cheating and plagiarism -strategies for responding to cheating with students, parents, and other teachers -sample school cheating policies and honour codes -common resources that students use to cheat -resources, including emerging high-tech methods, that can detect and deter cheating Questions for Further Discussion at the end of each chapter making it ideal for study groups.
