The Impact of Home-School Cooperation Level on Students' Achievements and Its Inter-School Differences

Based on the survey data of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015, this paper employs multiple regression and sub-sample regression to analyze the impact of home-school cooperation on students' achievement and its Inter-school differences. The findings reveal that the level of home-school collaboration is significantly correlated with student performance, and enhancing home-school collaboration contributes to improved academic outcomes. This effect of home-school cooperation on students' achievement is exhibits distinct disparities across regional school types, with the magnitude of influence descending in the following order: urban schools, rural schools, large-city schools, and township schools and county-town schools. Furthermore, the effectiveness of home-school cooperation is closely associated with the quality of teachers, but shows little relation to the average socio-economic status of students' families. The research results also demonstrate that improving the level of home-school cooperation holds substantial practical significance for the students' academic development, with high-quality teaching staff serving as a prerequisite for effective home-school cooperation. To enhance student achievement, it is advisable to strengthen home-school collaboration more effectively and adopt more scientific approaches to synergize the efforts of families and schools.
