Abstract

Educational involution is a social issue of great concern that is deeply influenced by the concept of family education. Educational involution, as a social issue of great concern, is deeply influenced by parenting concepts. This study aims to explore the influence of parenting concepts on educational involution, and comparatively analyzes the effects of different parenting concepts and other factors on the phenomenon of educational involution. This paper uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to conduct the study, focusing on parents’ high anxiety, high expectations and high investment in their children. Experiment 1 was a quantitative study using a questionnaire that was administered to two generations of parents, Post 00 and Post 10, in order to assess parents’ perceptions of educational involution. A total of 119 post-00 parents and 121 post-10 parents jointly participated in this survey. Experiment 2 used qualitative research to analyze the differences in parenting concepts among parents of different generations through personal interviews and in-depth communication with parent representatives of different generations. The study shows that: (1) Compared with parents of the Post-00 generation, parents of the Post-10 generation attach more importance to their children’s education, and their high expectations, high investment and high anxiety about their children’s education have a certain impact on the deepening of the internalization of education. (2) The majority of both Post-10s and Post-00s parents disapprove of the phenomenon of educational involution, and the phenomenon of involution will gradually tend to become anti-involution in the future. By analyzing how differences in parenting concepts affect the development of educational involution, this study provides useful references for future policy making and educational practice. To reduce the harm caused by irrational competition to families and children, and to promote the healthy development of family education.
