Tsui describes her current research projects:
"At this time, I have two research projects: one is
a comparative study of the mathematics achievements of the
Chinese and American 8th graders. Based on data from the National
Education Longitudinal Study: 1988-94 and data from my own
1999 Survey of the 8th graders in Wuhan, China, I will explore
the relationship among students’ mathematical performance,
their family income, and the educational expectations of their
parents in these two countries.
The second project is about girls in mathematics and science.
In my previous research, I have found that among the children
of the one-child generation in Chinese cities, there is no
gender difference in mathematical performance among 5th and
8th graders. For this project, I want to see if the only girls
continue to perform equally well as their male counterparts
at college entrance examinations."
