The Learner's Perspective Study.

The Learner’s Perspective Study examines the patterns of participation in competently-taught eighth grade mathematics classrooms in sixteen countries in a more integrated and comprehensive fashion than has been attempted in previous international studies. Research teams now participating in the Learners’ Perspective study are based in universities in Australia, China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, The Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the USA.

The results of the Learner's Perspective Study are reported in a Book Series, published by Sense Publishers . The first two volumes are:
Mathematics Classrooms in Twelve Countries: The Insider's Perspective, and Making Connections: Comparing Mathematics Classrooms Around the World. New volumes will be released in 2009 to further enhance the series.
