Teachers' Work: Institutional Isomorphism and Cultural Variation in the U.S., Germany, and Japan.
LeTendre, Gerald K.; Baker, David P.; Akiba, Motoko; Goesling, Brian; Wiseman, Alex
Educational Researcher, v30 n6 p3-15 Aug-Sep 2001
Used data from the Third International Math-Science Study to examine the working conditions and beliefs of Japanese, German, and United States teachers. Core teaching practices and teacher beliefs showed little national variation, but other aspects of teachers' work showed variation. Models of national cultures of learning may overemphasize cultural differences and underestimate the impact of institutional isomorphism in schooling. (SM)
