What are the differences in after-school study habits among students of different genders,ages,and interests? What are the differences in the after-school study habits of children under different family supervision? Second,to investigate the correlation between learning self-control,in-class learning habits and after-school learning habits,and to test whether there is a mediating effect of in-class learning habits between learning self-control and students’ after-school learning habits.This study mainly used questionnaires to survey all students and their parents in School A,a rural elementary school in District L,City T.The data were analyzed through various quantitative analysis methods and SPSS statistical analysis software,and supplemented by in-depth interviews to support the relevant research conclusions.According to the research results,it can be found that:(1)Rural primary school students have poor initiative in reviewing and previewing after class;they have perfunctory attitudes and poor independence in completing homework,often missing and forgetting their homework;they have inappropriate methods in reading extracurricular books and do not know how to take notes.(2)Gender,grade level,academic performance and study interest differed significantly in after-school learning habits.(3)The types of caregivers,family economic conditions,communication learning frequency and home school cooperation have dramatic differences in after-school learning habits.(4)Learning self-control is significantly positively correlated with after-school learning habits;In-class learning habits are significantly positively correlated with after-school learning habits;There is a significant positive correlation between learning self-control and in class learning habits as well.(5)In-class learning habits have a mediating effect between learning self-control and after-class learning habits.On the basis of the findings,it is suggested that department of state should rectify the out-of-school training courses and support after-school services in schools;Schools should pay attention to the guidance of family education and take into account the cultivation of both in-class and out-of-class habits;Teachers should pay more attention to the learning status of boys and the learning guidance for lower grade students and cultivate good in-class learning habits of students so that it can play an important role in the process of cultivating good after-school learning habits;Parents should strengthen the family supervision of students and train them to form regular life and rest time,which can promote the formation of good after-school learning habits.
