Achievements and self-concepts in a comparison of math and science: exploring the internal/external frame of reference model across 28 countries (2008, unknown): “As Leung's ( 2002 ) study indicated, students in the high-achieving Asian countries participating in the TIMSS study confessed a lower self-concept in learning math than those in some other countries.”
