Abstract

This systematic review examines the impact of different educational systems on students' learning performance in mathematics among middle school students in China. In the current educational climate, an increasing number of adolescents are facing learning challenges in a variety of curriculum systems, from unified-textbook public schools to private schools adopting Western curriculum models such as IB, A-level, AP, and others. The increasingly dynamic and shifting environments call for further research in this field. This study employs a systematic screening process to identify 684 articles and a specific analysis of the 15 most relevant journal research papers is conducted through the lens of student learning motivation. The results indicate that numerous factors stimulate students' mathematical performance, including curriculum factors and other non-curriculum factors, such as parental expectations and the duration of private tutoring classes. Some of these factors directly or indirectly demonstrate that curriculum can promote motivation in mathematics learning, which has a positive impact on performance. This result offers insight into the potential future direction for curriculum design and its influence on students' performance and relevant factors.
