As China's education development process continues to accelerate,parents'educational expectations are also rising.They increase their education investment year by year,hoping that their children can have better academic performance.However,the academic pressure of students is becoming more and more under the double squeeze of family education expectations and increasing social competition.Educational expectations are a key factor that determines the way a family chooses to educate the next generation.Adolescence is a critical period for personal physical and psychological growth.Students at this stage are more likely to have negative emotions such as depression and learning.Studying the impact of educational expectations on the academic performance of adolescent students is helpful to understand the differences in family education modes under different educational expectations,helping parents find suitable educational methods,and reducing the negative impact of educational expectations on their children with appropriate educational investment The impact is more on improving academic performance and guiding their healthy growth.What kind of influence does educational expectation have on adolescent students' academic performance,what kind of influence path does it have,and what role does educational investment play in it?These issues deserve our in-depth study.Based on the three-year Chinese family tracking survey data in 2014,2016,and 2018,this paper introduces educational investment as an intermediary variable to study the impact of educational expectations on academic performance,and divides educational investment into educational expenses,educational time,and parent-child education.In this aspect,structural equations are used to analyze the mediating effect of educational investment in the influence mechanism,and then a threshold regression equation is established with educational investment as the threshold variable,and the educational investment is divided into several degree intervals according to the threshold obtained from the model result Analyze the specific impact of educational expectations on academic performance when the level of educational investment is at different levels,compare it with the full sample,and draw relevant conclusions.The research results show that parental expectations are significantly positively correlated with academic performance,and expectations gaps are significantly negatively correlated with academic performance.Educational investment plays a certain intermediary role between educational expectations and academic performance.The structural equation results show that there are two influence paths between parental expectations and academic performance:parental expectations->counseling time->academic performance and parental expectations->conversation frequency->academic performance.According to the results of the structural equation,the tutoring time and conversation frequency are used as threshold variables,and parental expectations and academic performance are used as explanatory variables and explanatory variables are used for threshold regression.It is found that the educational investment time is 2 hours per week as the threshold,and the weekly tutoring time is low.The positive impact of parental expectations on academic performance at 2 hours is greater than the overall positive impact,and the positive impact of parental expectations on academic performance for more than 2 hours of tutoring per week is much smaller than the overall positive impact.The frequency of conversations lower than once a month parent expectations has less positive impact on academic performance than the overall positive impact,and the conversation frequency greater than once a month parent expectations has a greater positive impact on academic performance than the overall positive impact.The impact path of the expected gap on academic performance is expected gap->restrict TV watching->scholastic performance.The frequency of watching TV is restricted as the threshold variable,the expected gap and academic performance are used as explanatory variables and the explained variables are subjected to threshold regression,and it is found that TV watching is restricted The frequency is once a month as the threshold.When the restriction frequency is lower than once a month,the negative effect is less than the overall negative effect,and when the frequency is higher than once a month,the negative effect is stronger than the overall negative effect.In the past,educational expectations were usually studied as an intermediary factor between family capital and academic performance.However,in addition to family factors,educational expectations were also greatly influenced by the overall concept of society and showed a strong sense of existence in education.Therefore,this article uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to directly study the relationship between educational expectations and academic performance,divides educational expectations into parental educational expectations and expectations gaps for discussion,and adds educational investment as an intermediary variable to explore how educational expectations can be through Time and parent-child companionship have an impact on children's academic performance.On the basis of the above-mentioned qualitative research,quantitative analysis is added,and threshold regression is carried out for the educational input variables with significant path effects,and divided into several intervals according to the degree of educational input.Compare the impact of educational expectations on academic performance,analyze the paths and laws of educational expectations in the intergenerational transmission of education,and explain the reasonable and appropriate range of educational investment.
