Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2023, Vol 35, Issue 8
Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of after-school tutoring for school-age children on their emotions and behaviorsï¼ and to provide a basis for developing after-school tutoring and psychological support strategies for school-age children.MethodsFour elementary schools in a district of Shanghai were selected by simple random sampling method. Whole group sampling was conducted by classï¼ and parents of students were surveyed by general questionnaire and the scale of strengths and difficulties. Information was collected on the basic conditions of children and families and the results were compared and analyzed.ResultsThis study showed that 88.26% of children attended extracurricular classesï¼ of which 26.16% attended 3 or more classesï¼ 42.5% attended cultural classesï¼ 28.3% attended sports classesï¼ and 59.8% attended art classes. Children who did not attend classes had higher pro-social scores. Children who attended reading class had lower scores for emotional problems that was a protective factor for emotional problems. Children who chose extracurricular programs in sports and reading also had lower overall scores for difficulties. Excessive use of electronic devices by school-age children on weekdays or weekends had a negative effect on emotional and conduct problem scores regardless of whether they chose extracurricular programs. It appeared that the choice of cultural programsï¼ art programs and different levels of exercise intensity had no effect on children's emotions and behaviors.ConclusionFor children with low pro-social levelï¼ extracurricular classes should be carefully selected. For extracurricular classesï¼ more reading and sports-related courses can be consideredï¼ which have positive effects on school-age childrenâs emotions and behaviors. Regardless of the choice of extracurricular classesï¼ try to avoid excessive online classes.
