Study title

We provide two sets of data as a result of the Teleprism project (www.teleprism.com). The quantitative dataset includes the data collected from the student and teacher longitudinal surveys. Three different sheets are provided: one for the (master) pupil dataset, one with teacher related information and one with the information provided by the teachers for particular classes. Identifiers are provided to help navigate and match the datasets if needed. Please note that the pupil dataset is given in the long format. The qualitative data folder includes the transcriptions of students and teacher interviews. The questionnaires and interview schedules associated with these datasets are also provided for further information.This project aims to break new ground by mapping secondary students' learning outcomes and choices including dispositions and attitudes together with the teaching they are exposed to. New understandings of how mathematics pedagogy relates to learner engagement and hence outcomes will be important to both mathematics education research, and policy and practice. Capturing five years of progression (Year 7-11) in one year will pose methodological challenges, the resolution of which will contribute to the literature of combining longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses, and dealing with missing data. The main phase of the study will involve a sample of about 50 secondary schools matching the national demographic characteristics. An average of 3 to 5 classes in each year group will be surveyed with a questionnaire capturing students' mathematical dispositions and their perceptions of teaching at three time points establishing longitudinal data: at the start and towards the end of the academic year 2011/12, and at the beginning of the next academic year. A teacher survey will map teaching practices at mathematics, during the first academic year. Additionally, three contrasting case studies will be performed to provide evidence of mathematical teaching...
