Given the seeming lack of interest to really provide or discuss evidence on this, I never looked at these types of variables again. There are 8 teacher questions in the TIMSS 2023 dataset. Let's look at two questions.

In teaching mathematics to this class, how often do you ask students to do the following? Listen to me explain how to solve problems. Lots of variation, but mostly very high prevalence. Highest scores not always for 'every or almost every lesson' but 'about half'.

In teaching mathematics to this class, how often do you ask students to do the following? Memorize rules, procedures, and facts Here it is interesting that it's less (New Zealand!) but much variation again. And also see scores across. Some bimodal but see US (less does better).

The prevalence data is interesting, given claims some things seldom or often happen. The inferences re achievement are hard to interpret. Would be the first to say correlational. But at least I give some data.
