DESCRIPTION:Analysing classroom data drawn from a culture different from o
 ne's own creates\nopportunities and constraints. The opportunities lie in 
 the application of one set of\ncultural lenses to an unfamiliar set of cla
 ssroom norms while the constraints lie in\nensuring that a natural desire 
 to evaluate is kept in check. Drawing on Susan Tillman's\n(2002\, 2006) fr
 amework for culturally sensitive research\, I shall present my\ninterpreta
 tion of a series of videotaped lessons\, taught by Finnish teachers define
 d\nlocally as effective\, to students in the age range 10-14. In so doing 
 I hope to cast light\non the Finnish PISA success phenomenon.
