在最新公布的「2023年全球最富裕國家」排名，亞洲國家在全球經濟中佔有重要地位，顯示其在經濟實力和人民生活水平方面的優越表現。教育水平被視為影響經濟增長的關鍵因素之一，因為它提高個人和社會的生產力，促進技術創新和知識經濟的發展。因此，各國政府將教育的投資視為一種有效的經濟政策，尤其在亞洲居於前幾名的新加坡、香港、韓國、臺灣和日本，政府無不重視國際數學賽事。各國為提升學生的數學學習成就，不斷改進數學教育的品質，從教學內容到教學方法的創新，都在努力提高國內學生在數學上的表現。
本文以TIMSS 2019 四年級國小學生數學成就與學生問卷資料，使用計量模型進行統計分析，分別探討新加坡、香港、韓國、臺灣、日本五個國家各自影響數學成就的變項，另外並做跨國分析比較，釐清本文研究五個國家的獨特性影響因子。實證結果得到，學生的數學成就受多方面因素影響，如學生背景、科技品使用和學校氛圍。科技設備的應用可豐富學習資源，但過度使用手機或許分散學生注意力，影響成績。隨著多媒體教育的普及，教師的角色和影響力也會逐漸減弱。因此，教育制度和教學方法需要不斷革新和調整，以適應時代的發展和學生的需求，為他們提供更豐富的學習體驗，促使學生能在數學學習中獲得興趣，進而取得更佳的成績。

Asia countries rank at the significant position among World's Richest Countries 2023 Asian countries just released, indicating the superior performance in their economic power and living standards. Education can not only enhance the productivity of individual and society, but also facilitate the development of the technology and knowledge, thus it is crucial factor influencing the economic growth in a country. It turns out that the educational investment become an efficient economic policy among the governments, and they all value the international math competitions, especially the Asian’s highest ranking countries including Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. For the purpose of better mathematic performance, these countries have been continuously improving the quality of mathematics education, including the innovative teaching contents and method aiming for improving the students’ math capability.
The study uses a quantitative model to conduct statistical analysis on the math achievement of fourth-grade elementary school students based on student questionnaire data from TIMSS 2019, exploring the variables influencing math achievement in the five countries of Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. Furthermore, a cross-national comparative analysis clarifies the unique influencing factors of the five countries. As evidenced by the study, student background, technology product usage, and school environment influence the students’ math achievement among other factors. The introduction of technology brings richer resource of studying, however, excessive addition to the mobile phone may lead to student’s attraction and impact on their grades. The popularity of multimedia education also diminishes the role of teacher and reduce their influence on the students. In conclusion, constant innovation and adjustment of the educational system and teaching method is necessary in order to adapt to the student’s demand in the modern time, as they need diverse studying experience to develop their interest in learning the mathematics and make better achievement.
