Reflections on Research on the "Confucian Heritage Culture" Learning Phenomenon (Article written in chinese)

WONG Ngai-Ying & WONG Wai-Ying

Abstract

The brilliant academic performance among Asian students in international comparisons has initiated an abundance of research on the "Confucian Heritage Culture" Learning Phenomenon. While some have relied on empirical data, others have tried to attribute the academic success to Confucianism in general and the words of Confucius and Mencius in particular. The aim of the present paper is to raise, from a methodological perspective, the need of safeguarding from "over-Confucianisation" in various arguments.
