The first factor, interdependence and proxy control, refers to a child’s dependence on parents. The second factor, self-regulation, refers to the effort a student puts into academic pursuits. The third factor, collective control, refers to cooperation between family members and educators. Organizational cultural, the fourth factor, refers to the underlying cultural value system that emphasizes human-relatedness.

Your text provides further details about each of these factors. The article provided in this week’s resources illustrates the four factors and their effect on educational achievement in Korea. (Note that the authors of the article use the terms educational achievement and academic achievement interchangeably).

Studies show that East Asian students are high academic achievers, particularly in math and science. In contrast, studies indicate that students in the United States perform poorly in science, math, and often other academic areas as well.
