ABSTRACT Mathematics takes a specific place in the education of any country because the opportunities and success of youth in contemporary society are often dependent on their knowledge and skills exactly in the sphere of mathematics. Information about the status quo of mathematics education in the country is gained in international comparative research on education. The goal of the present research is to reflect the outcomes of the international project “Non-cognitive skills and Singapore learners - international comparison” organized by Singapore National Education Institute about the achievement of 2828 Latvian school learners of grade 9 in doing 12 mathematical sums. These outcomes were compared with Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 research outcomes that, in turn, made it possible to predict the outcomes of PISA 2012 research in mathematics education as well as evaluate the efficiency of the new standard of education in Latvia in the first six years. The article will also regard the causes of the low achievement of Latvian learners in doing sums in mathematics.

Teaching Challenges

The last decades have seen the completion of an increasing number of qualitative comparative research projects on teaching. Challenges and benefits which might arise from a qualitative international comparative research design have been considered. However, very little has been published on challenges and benefits which may arise from using grounded theory in international comparative research projects. This article explores some of these challenges and benefits, focusing on two methodological aspects: the emergent process of developing a grounded theory and analysing data in a foreign language. In order to illustrate the argument, an international comparative PhD project is used. The project is centred on how teachers see themselves with regards to accountability reforms in England and Germany.

National Boundaries

This article maps the field of international comparative research in school social work. For this purpose, a systematic literature review was conducted and subjected to a narrative synthesis. The review reveals 11 publications that are predominantly non-empirical, take mainly Asian, European, North American countries and Australia and New Zealand into account, and are focused on profession-related and sociopolitical aspects of school social work. A synthesis of school social work practice themes transcending national boundaries emerged from the findings, covering child-, family-, school-, and community-related issues. Accordingly, children are predominantly confronted with similar issues, irrespective of the place where they live, such as violence toward themselves, at home, in school, and in their community. Bearing in mind methodological challenges when carrying out comparative studies, recommendations include the conduct of practice-focused studies that generate new stimuli to improve already well-developed practices in a culturally appropriate way and enable mutual learning among school social workers.
