Cross-National Analysis of Differences in Student Reading Performance: Taking PISA 2022 as an Example

Abstract

This comparative study delves into the variations in student reading proficiency across nations as evidenced by the PISA 2022 data. Through the analysis of datasets from diverse countries, the study seeks to uncover patterns and discrepancies in reading performance. Key factors such as the education system, family background, and availability of learning resources are meticulously compared to ascertain their influence on reading proficiency. The study's findings reveal that disparities in reading abilities among students stem from a multitude of factors, rather than a singular cause. As a result, this study advocates for the implementation of interventions to address these disparities and ultimately enhance the reading proficiency of students globally. Firstly, policymakers should strive to create a more equitable environment for students' reading performance. Concurrently, resources must be allocated to bolster teacher training programs, thereby enhancing teaching standards and proficiency. Additionally, families need to enhance their involvement and support for children's reading progress. Finally, schools and teachers should employ more comprehensive assessment methods for students' reading achievements.
