„Different teaching styles and practices can be especially beneficial for some students but less so for others. It is, therefore, difficult to pinpoint teaching practices that are 'superior' to others. For instance, there is evidence that cognitive activation strategies may be more beneficial for socio-economically advantaged students and teacher-centred instruction for disadvantaged, at-risk students.“

„PISA 2015 asked students about the teaching practices they are exposed to at school. […] The findings emphasise the role of a positive school climate in the success of enquiry-based science activities. Enquiry-based science activities are associated with lower scores in science, especially among students who attend disorderly science classes; but this negative association is weakened when students attend disciplined science lessons. The lack of discipline in a classroom makes it more difficult for teachers to organise enquiry-based activities and, in turn, reduces the effectiveness of this practice.“
