Title: Studying student perceptions of teaching quality across 38 countries: Evaluating the comparability and role of teachers’ gender using the alignment method

Abstract: Teaching quality is well known to be related to student learning. Thus, International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSAs) have increasingly included items to assess teaching quality in their student questionnaires. Even though cross-national comparisons are at the heart of ILSAs, student perceptions are rarely used to compare teaching quality across countries due to the unattainable requirement of exact measurement invariance. Using recent methodological advances to bridge this gap, the current study aims to examine student ratings of disorderly behavior and instructional clarity using data from TIMSS 2019 in Grade 8 across 38 countries. Results can contribute to the field of comparative research on teaching quality.
