- Abstract
The purpose of this article is to propose a conceptual model to explain the outperformance of Asian students based on the results of PISA, which in turn may provide useful insights for the U.S. educational reformers. This model was created by synthesizing existing research and literature. It suggests four possible factors shaping higher academic performance of Asian students, including educational, cultural, social, and economic components. Educators and policy makers should not only consider the educational factor but also cultural, social and economic factors, before utilising other nations' experiences when implementing educational reforms.
