ECENTLY, a study published in Journal of East China Normal Univer-

sity (Educational Sciences) used the methods such as structural equation 

model and multiple linear regression to analyze the data collected from 770 

pupils who engaged in “home-school co-education” in New Educational Ex-

periment and setting 726 pupils as the control group. The results of the 

paired-sample analysis show that: 

The indirect effect of family environment on pupils’ learning perfor-

mance through mediating variables such as the students’ learning engage-

ment and school environment was significant. School environment had a sig-

nificantly positive effect on pupils’ learning engagement and learning per-

formance, and home-school interaction could also significantly improve stu-

dents’ learning performance. 

The home collections of pupils who engaged in New Education Ex-

periment schools were significantly higher than those in the Non-new Educa-

tion Experiment schools. 

The longer the schools participated in the “home-school co-education” 

of the New Educational Experiment, the better the students’ reading perfor-

mance and mathematics performance were. 

Research recommendations: 

 Create a family learning environment for parents and children to 

read, write and live together. 

 Establish a scholarly campus and develop new courses that refer 

to the integrity of life. 

 Strengthen students’ learning engagement and develop learning 

habits through achieving a goal once a month. 

 Optimize home-school cooperation and realize the ecological co-

governance of education modernization.
