Wenxia Luan, Dr.Lee Cheong

Abstract


This study investigated the multifaceted factors influencing the academic performance of secondary school students in
Shanghai, China. It places particular emphasis on teaching methods, teacher characteristics, and their interactions with student motivation.
This study is motivated by the unique educational landscape of Shanghai, characterised by a diverse student population and a highstakes examination, the “Gao Kao”, which determines students’ future prospects. A quantitative research approach was employed utilising
structured questionnaires to collect data from a stratifi ed random sample of 384 secondary school students. The questionnaires encompassed
motivation assessment scales, evaluation of teaching methods, and assessment of teacher characteristics. Data analysis involved descriptive
statistics, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and moderation analysis to uncover the intricate relationships among the
variables. Preliminary fi ndings revealed a complex interplay between teaching methods, teacher characteristics, and student motivation in
shaping academic performance.
