高中生参加课外补习有助于考大学吗?

Does Private Tutoring Help High School Students Gain Higher Education Opportunity?

本文基于北京大学中国家庭追踪调查2010年、2012年、2014年和2016年的混合截面数据,采用结构方程模型检验了普通高中生的课外补习参与和高中学校质量在家庭资本与高等教育机会获得之间的中介效应。结论显示:(1)参加课外补习能帮助高中生升入大学,但不能助其进一步升入本科高校;就读于教学质量较高的普通高中既能帮助高中生上大学,也能助其升入本科高校;(2)高中生的课外补习参与和学校质量差异在家庭资本与是否升入大学之间均起到了部分中介作用,参加课外补习的中介作用略大于学校质量差异的中介作用;(3)普通高中的学校质量差异在家庭资本与是否升入本科高校之间发挥了中介作用,而课外补习参与在家庭资本与是否升入本科高校之间没有发挥中介作用。

Based on the four-year mixed cross-section data of the Peking University Chinese Family Tracking Survey in 2010,2012,2014,and 2016,a structural equation model was used to test the intermediary effect of private tutoring and the quality of general high schools between family capital and higher education opportunities.The findings show that:(1)participating in private tutoring can help high school students get into college,but it cannot help them to further into undergraduate colleges;studying in general high schools with high teaching quality can help high school students go to college and get into undergraduate college;(2)high school students’participation in private tutoring and school quality differences play a part of the intermediary role between family capital and whether they are admitted to university.The intermediary role of participating in private tutoring is slightly greater than that of school quality differences;The difference in school quality between general high schools played an intermediary role between family capital and whether they were promoted to undergraduate colleges,while private tutoring did not play an intermediary role between family capital and whether they were promoted to undergraduate colleges.
