Teachers’ Pedagogical Practices
The effective use of data for instructional improvement has become a central priority in education, particularly in accountability-driven systems such as Chile’s. While organizational enablers and access conditions have been widely studied, less is known about how pedagogical practices shape teachers’ engagement with data. This study investigates how three instructional dimensions—evaluation practices, instructional clarity, and cognitive activat…
Profiles of teachers built on cognitive-activation teaching strategies and its effect on student’s outcomes in TIMSS 2019
This study examines cognitive-activation teaching profiles among science teachers using TIMSS 2019 data from 14 countries, adopting a person-centred approach to instructional diversity. Through latent class analysis, four distinct teacher profiles are identified, All-Around Teachers, Balanced-Interactive Teachers, Discussion-Oriented Traditionalists, and Low-Engagement Experimentalists, each reflecting unique combinations of general and inquiry-r…
A critical evaluation of alignment optimization for improving cross- national comparability in international large-scale assessments
This study critically examines the use of alignment optimization to improve cross-national comparability of teacher and principal scales from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018. By investigating key psychometric properties, including dimensionality, reliability, and measurement invariance, the study highlights critical challenges in international large-scale assessments. While unidimensionality and high internal consisten…
Understanding Gender Inequality in Political Self-Efficacy in Early Adolescents
Research has shown a persistent gender gap in political self-efficacy across most Western countries. Nevertheless, the regularity in these findings masks the diversity in the measures used to capture this construct and little reflection has been undertaken on the extent that changing the measures has on the size and the direction of the gender gap. This article tests on students aged 14 in 38 countries using the IEA International Civic and Citize…
Policy polarization, primaries, and strategic voters
We consider two-stage electoral competitions with strategic voters, investigating the effects of valence (i.e., a candidate’s personal quality) on policy polarization. In our model, two parties compete in a general election, and each party has two office-seeking candidates. Parties first hold a primary election to decide their representative, and then put forward their winning candidate to compete in the general election. Candidates are thus char…
The advantages of regional large-scale assessments
Ideología y comportamiento judicial en jueces de carrera
Estudios sobre cortes constitucionales han demostrado que la ideología del juez es un buen predictor de su comportamiento judicial. Sin embargo, se ha prestado escasa atención a en qué medida estos hallazgos son generalizables a cortes supremas de casación, sin competencias sobre el control de constitucionalidad de las leyes e integradas por “jueces de carrera”, que arriban a la Corte tras décadas de desempeño dentro del Poder Judicial y que han …
Indirect effects of bullying on school mathematics achievement in Chile
Cambios en las prácticas de liderazgo escolar bajo un sistema de accountability
Los sistemas de rendiciones de cuenta han sido una política educativa orientada para la mejora escolar. Bajo este contexto, el estudio examina los cambios en dos prácticas de liderazgo escolar con la introducción de la política de rendiciones de cuenta en Chile. Considerando las respuestas de los docentes de matemáticas de cuarto básico, se construyen dos escalas para evaluar las prácticas de monitoreo académico y apoyo docente implementado por l…
Mental Health of Teachers Who Have Teleworked Due to Covid-19
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education included school closures and the implementation of virtual teaching and teleworking without the knowledge or resources needed to do so. This situation accentuated the inequality in accessing quality education and generated high rates of stress, anxiety, and general discomfort in teachers. This study aimed to explore the mental health of teachers who were forced to telework because of COVID-19, and …
Ideology beyond partisanship
Being oneself through time
Self-continuity – the sense that one’s past, present, and future are meaningfully connected – is considered a defining feature of personal identity. However, bases of self-continuity may depend on cultural beliefs about personhood. In multilevel analyses of data from 7287 adults from 55 cultural groups in 33 nations, we tested a new tripartite theoretical model of bases of self-continuity. As expected, perceptions of stability, sense of narrative…
Beyond the ‘east–west’ dichotomy
Markus and Kitayama's (1991) theory of independent and interdependent self-construals had a major influence on social, personality, and developmental psychology by highlighting the role of culture in psychological processes. However, research has relied excessively on contrasts between North American and East Asian samples, and commonly used self-report measures of independence and interdependence frequently fail to show predicted cultural differ…
Contextualism as an Important Facet of Individualism-Collectivism
Beliefs about personhood are understood to be a defining feature of individualism-collectivism (I-C), but they have been insufficiently explored, given the emphasis of research on values and self-construals. We propose the construct of contextualism, referring to beliefs about the importance of context in understanding people, as a facet of cultural collectivism. A brief measure was developed and refined across 19 nations (Study 1: N = 5,241), sh…
Culture and the distinctiveness motive
The motive to attain a distinctive identity is sometimes thought to be stronger in, or even specific to, those socialized into individualistic cultures. Using data from 4,751 participants in 21 cultural groups (18 nations and 3 regions), we tested this prediction against our alternative view that culture would moderate the ways in which people achieve feelings of distinctiveness, rather than influence the strength of their motivation to do so. We…
