The Relationship Between Family Functioning And Self-directed Learning Tendencies In Junior High School Students:The Role Of Meaning In Life And Future Orientation

With the implementation of the "double reduction" policy,middle school students need to get rid of the dependence on off-campus training.Therefore,family functions play a prominent role in independent learning.A good family environment can play a positive demonstration and feedback role for students,so as to help students learn more actively.Self-directed learning tendency is an important index to reflect the level of independent learning of middle school students.Previous studies have shown that family function,sense of life meaning and future orientation can predict self-directed learning tendency,but the combined effects of multiple mediating variables affecting self-directed learning tendency are rarely considered.Based on the existing research,this study explores the relationship between family function and self-directed learning tendency of junior high school students and its internal mechanism,and puts forward corresponding educational suggestions.In this study,the Family Intimacy and Adaptability Scale Chinese version,the Chinese Meaning of Life Questionnaire,the Future Orientation Scale for Adolescents,and the Self-directed Learning Tendency Scale for Middle School Students were used as research tools.A total of 1029 students from four schools in Jinan City of Shandong Province,Zhenjiang City of Jiangsu Province and Guangzhou City of Guangdong Province were subjected to psychological measurement.SPSS23.0 was used for data processing and analysis,and the research results were mainly as follows:1.Junior middle school students have significant differences in family function,self-directed learning tendency,sense of life meaning and future orientation in terms of student origin,grade and whether they are class cadres.2.There is a significant positive correlation between family function,self-directed learning tendency,sense of life meaning and future orientation of junior middle school students.3.The sense of meaning of life of junior middle school students mediates the relationship between family function and self-directed learning tendency;The future orientation of junior middle school students has mediating effect on family function and self-directed learning tendency.4.The sense of life meaning and future orientation of junior middle school students have a chain mediating effect between family function and self-directed learning tendency.
