It consists of four aspects, namely, independent living consciousness,independent living knowledge, independent living skill and independentproblem-solving ability. Among them, independent living consciousness is theprecondition, independent living knowledge is the basis, independent living skill is theguarantee, and independent problem-solving ability is the core.This study designed the “Questionnaire on Development Status of IndependentLiving Ability of High-grade Pupils” with internal consistency reliability of0.875,correlation coefficient between each dimension and the total scale within0.68-0.85, andsatisfactory structural validity. The paper chose240high-grade pupils at random andcollected216valid questionnaires. The paper carried out systematic study on presentsituation and influencing factors of independent living ability of high-grade pupils. Theresult showed that academic result makes the most influence on their independent livingability. In addition, grade, sex, family structure and experience of studying at a schoolon a temporary basis also influence the ability to some extent.
