In the end, the author accounts for the major findings form cross-cultural research to give a better picture of Chinese intelligence when compared with that found in the west.

Chao, R. K. (1996). Chinese and European American mothers¡¦ beliefs about the role of parenting in children¡¦s school success. Journal of Cross-cultural Psychology, 27 (4), 403-423. Printed

Tao, V., & Hong, Y. Y. (2000). A meaning system approach to Chinese students¡¦ achievement goals. Journal of Psychology in Chinese Societies, 1 (2), 13-38.

This paper presents some interesting patterns of achievement goals in Chinese culture. The authors argue that academic achievement is largely an individual endeavor in American culture, but a social endeavor in Chinese culture. Acquiring new skills and demonstrating what has been learnt might be mutually reinforcing goals that lead to meeting social expectations for Chinese students.

Yu, A. B. (1996). Ultimate life concerns, self and Chinese achievement motivation. In Bond, M. H. (Ed.), The handbook of Chinese psychology (pp. 227-246). Hong Kong: Oxford University Press.

The author criticizes the traditional western achievement motivation theory with the support of past research studies. The author defines Chinese motivation as social-oriented achievement motivation (SOAM), which contrasts with the individual-oriented achievement motivation (IOAM) ¡V the theory previously held by many western researchers.

This paper reviews the literature on cross-cultural assessment in order to identify the major issues in the development and adaptation of speech and language assessments for children and to illustrate these issues with practical example with the authors¡¦ research program in Kenya.The authors argue that the awareness of cultural variation and bias, and cooperative efforts to develop and administer culturally appropriate assessment tools are the foundation of effective, valid treatment programs.

This paper carefully exams the concepts of ¡¥classroom¡¦, ¡¥culture¡¦ and ¡¥context¡¦. Literature review is conducted to provide a general picture of different approaches in explaining classroom culture and the related issues.

Rogoff, B. (1990). The cultural context of cognitive activity. In B. Rogoff, Apprenticeship in thinking: Cognitive development in social context (pp. 42-61). New York: Oxford University Press.

The chapter argues that cognitive activities occur in socially structured situations that involve values about the interpretation and management of social relationships. Individuals¡¦ attempts to solve problems are intrinsically related to social and societal values and goals, tools, and institutions in the definition of the problems and the practice of their solution.

This article highlights some of the differences between English and French primary teachers¡¦ professional priorities and practices. The authors adopt the cultural approach to explain the differences highlighted. They argue that any attempt to understand the way in which a particular assessment practice is likely to help or hinder learning must study it in the context of the more general cultural setting in which the interaction between teacher and pupil is taking place.

This is a research on the relationship between teachers¡¦ and students¡¦ conceptions of the fundamental elements constituting academic studies in the Hong Kong and Sweden cultures. The authors attempt to find a distinctive variation of conceptions mentioned above across culture.

Davison, C. (2004). The contradictory culture of teacher-based assessment: ESL teacher assessment practices in Australian and Hong Kong secondary schools. Language Testing, 21 (3), 305-334.

This article adopts a socio-cultural approach to report on the background and finds of a comparative study of ESL teachers¡¦ assessment of written argument in the final years of secondary school in Australia and Hong Kong. The article concludes that traditional notions of validity may need to be reconceptualized in high-stakes teacher-based assessment, with professional judgment, interaction and trust given much higher priority in the assessment process.

Fuller, B., & Clarke, P. (1994). Raising school effects while ignoring culture? Local conditions and the influence of classroom tools, rules and pedagogy. Review of Educational Research, 64 (1), 119-157.

This article reviews how the two paths of school-effects research, namely: policy mechanics and classroom culturalists are informed by work conducted within developing countries.

Gipps, C. (1999). Socio-cultural aspects of assessment. In A. Iran-Nejad & P. D. Pearson (Eds.), Review of research in education (pp. 355-392). Washington, DC: American Educational Research Association.

This chapter reviews assessment from a socio-cultural perspective. The chapter has two major themes, namely: Power and Control, and Interpretivist Paradigm. The whole chapter is organized into four sections: First, the purposes served and the roles that assessment has played in the society from past to present; Second, developments in the conceptualization of forms of assessment over the last 20 years. The author seeks to explain these changes as being underpinned by changes in epistemology and views of learning; Third, the assessment in the social world of the classroom; Finally, the future directions of assessment.

Greenfield, P. M. (1997). You can¡¦t take it with you: Why ability assessments don¡¦t cross cultures. American Psychologist, 52 (10), 1115-1124.

This article argues that tests of intelligence and cognitive ability are cultural genres ¡V which are based on social conventions presupposed or assumed by a test and its tester. Successful functioning of a test requires the sharing of these conventions.

Miller-Jones, D. (1989). Culture and testing. American Psychologist, 44 (2), 360-366

This article consists of two main arguments: First, skills are acquired in specific learning activity contexts and therefore tests of generalized cognitive functioning will inevitably provide a less than portrayal of individuals¡¦ capacities; Second, appropriate assessment requires an understanding of the constraints that govern access to a person¡¦s knowledge and regulate the deployment of concepts and reasoning process.

Pilcher, J. K. (1994). The Value-Driven Meaning of Grades. Educational Assessment, 2 (1), 69-88.

This paper presents the use of a multiple case study approach to investigating the way grades were assigned by teachers and used by students and parents. The author argues that interpretation and use of a grade is driven by the value students, parents and teachers attach to grades.

This chapter focuses on the way that teacher-pupil interaction in the context of assessment generates learners¡¦ knowledge and classroom identities in the here and now. The author argues, by drawing a case study of a mathematic lesson, that classroom assessment itself constitutes a context of learning which in turn both produces and is produced by the understandings that pupils bring to their schooling and the transformations that thereby occur.

Shepard, L. A. (2000). The role of assessment in a learning culture. Education Researcher, 29 (7), 4-14.

This article is organized into three parts. The first part presents the historical framework highlighting the key doctrines of social efficiency curricula, behaviorist learning theories, and ¡¥scientific measurement. The second part outlines a contrasting social constructivist framework that blends key ideas from cognitive, contructivist and socio-cultural theories. The final part elaborates on the ways that assessment practices should change to consistent with and support social-constructivist pedagogy.

The Chinese Learner

Biggs, J. (1996). Western misperceptions of the Confucian-heritage learning culture. In D. Watkins & J. Biggs (Eds.), The Chinese learner: Cultural, psychological, and contextual influences (pp. 45-67). Hong Kong: CERC & ACER.

This paper reviews the concepts defining a good learning environment. The authors point out the common Western misperceptions about the ¡¥low quality¡¦ of Confucian heritage culture (CHC) learning ¡V which previous western studies mistaken repetitive learning (kind of deep learning strategy) for rote learning. Also, there exist gaps between western and CHC views about source of learning motivation and attributions for success and failure etc. In the end, the authors try to redefine a ¡¥good learning environment¡¦ with the support of the 3p model (presage-process-product model).

Biggs, J. (1998). Learning from the Confucian heritage: So size doesn¡¦t matter? International Journal of Educational Research, 29, 723-738.

This paper tries to explain the paradox that students from Confucian heritage cultures (CHC), who are perceived by western researchers as learning under an ¡¥ineffective¡¦ learning environment, consistently outperform Western students in many academic subjects.
