A Preliminary Study on the Current Situation and Coun-termeasures of HomeSchool Coeducation in Junior High Schools

摘要

Junior high school marks a critical developmental period of early adolescence, in which students undergo dramatic physical, psychological and cognitive changes. Homeschool coeducation functions as an essential mechanism that connects family upbringing and institutional school education, exerting farreaching inffuences on adolescents’ academic growth, mental health and personality formation. In recent years, relevant educational policies in China have continuously emphasized the construction of collaborative education systems between families and schools. Nevertheless, practical implementation at the junior high school level still faces prominent obstacles. Misaligned educational concepts, ambiguous division of responsibilities, single communication channels and uneven family educational capacity jointly restrict the actual effects of homeschool interaction. Based on the theoretical framework of Epstein’s overlapping spheres of inffuence, this paper sorts out major practical dilemmas of homeschool coeducation in junior highschool contexts, summarizes typical modes of current homeschool interaction through literature analysis, and explores feasible countermeasures from the dimensions of concept reconstruction, mechanism improvement, communica-tion optimization and family education guidance. This study avoids hypothetical survey data and focuses on practical problems existing in daily educational practice. It intends to provide theoretical reference and operable suggestions for frontline educators to promote the sound development of homeschool collaborative education for junior highschool students.
