Instructional quality has been a central issue in educational research for a long time now. Models of school learning were proposed, a vast number of correlational studies were carried out, and lately large-scale video studies were undertaken in order to discern the factors that render one type of instruction superior to another. Although no single explanatory variable emerged, a suite of relevant factors can be identified. This chapter provides an overview of the research undertaken and specifically establishes five dimensions of characteristics that collectively define high quality instruction. [Editor]
