Resumo
Este artigo examina os fatores do “Milagre Educacional da Ásia”, focando nas culturas relacionais confucionistas e em estudos da Coreia do Sul. Diferente da visão ocidental individualista, que enfatiza a habilidade inata, a perspectiva do Leste Asiático destaca a relação do self com os outros. O artigo descreve o desenvolvimento do self e a socialização da cultura nas crianças para explicar o desempenho acadêmico. A Teoria Social Cognitiva de Bandura, baseada em agência humana e autoeficácia, fornece a base científica para entender cultura e desempenho. Bandura critica teorias tradicionais que focam na biologia, habilidades inatas e processamento cognitivo mecânico, argumentando que ignoram a intenção e a antecipação como precursoras da ação. O sucesso acadêmico ocorre pelo controle pessoal, por procuração e coletivo. Avanços em genética e neurobiologia desafiam suposições tradicionais e apoiam a teoria de Bandura. Estudos na Coreia do Sul demonstram o papel da autoeficácia e do suporte social de pais, amigos e professores no desempenho acadêmico. Esses resultados ressaltam a importância da agência humana, da autoeficácia e do suporte social, além do impacto da agência pessoal, por procuração e coletiva no sucesso acadêmico e no desengajamento moral, podendo explicar, em parte, a violência escolar e a delinquência.
This article examines the factors behind the “Asian Educational Miracle,” focusing on Confucian relational cultures and studies from South Korea, Unlike the Western individualistic view, which emphasizes innate ability, the East Asian perspective highlights the self and relatedness to others, The article describes self-development and the socialization of culture in children to explain academic achievement, Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, based on human agency and self-efficacy, provides the scientific foundation for understanding culture and performance, Bandura criticizes traditional theories that focus on biology, innate abilities, and mechanical cognitive processing, arguing that they ignore intention and forethought as precursors to action, Academic success occurs through personal, proxy, and collective control, Advances in genetics and neurobiology challenge traditional assumptions and support Bandura’s theory, Studies in South Korea demonstrate the role of self-efficacy and social support from parents, friends, and teachers in academic achievement, These findings highlight the importance of human agency, self-efficacy, and social support, as well as the impact of personal, proxy, and collective agency on academic success and moral disengagement, which may partly explain school violence and delinquency,
