Prediction of Successful Home-School Relationship Factors in Anhui Province

Abstract

As the concept of education is constantly updated, single-school education can no longer meet the needs of the new era of education, and the joint participation of society, school, and family has become an essential trend in the development of global education. Building a successful home-school relationship can only achieve a "win-win" situation for schools, families, and society. 

The relationship between home and school in primary and secondary schools in Anhui Province is generally harmonious. However, there are also some problems, mainly due to the large population, high mobility, and complex family structure in Anhui Province. The researcher analyzed the social, school, and family factors, referred to a large amount of literature, used quantitative analysis, used questionnaires as the source of data collection, used frequencies and percentages to describe the profile of respondents' parents and teachers; used statistical analysis using weighted mean and ranking, ANOVA, linear regression analysis, and others.

The survey results showed that the respondents agreed on all factors affecting the home-school relationship. Parent demographic variables did not differ significantly for school factors when grouped by demographic variables. In contrast, parental education level, occupation, and net monthly income differed significantly for social and family factors.

There was no change in the teacher demographic variables for assessing the factors affecting the home-school relationship.

Based on the analysis of the survey findings, this researcher attempted to identify the factors influencing successful home-school relationships in Anhui Province and proposed recommendations for optimizing the factors of home-school relationships in terms of practicality and operability, respectively, from the school, family, and social aspects.
