The Impact of School Resource Investment on Student Performance: A Meta-analysis Based on Chinese Literature
Journal Title: Best Evidence in Chinese Education - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Using meta-analysis, this study analyzes a total of 20 effects on 11 articles on the impact of Chinese school resource investment on student performance. We found that: 1) the overall impact of school resources on student performance is significant (effect amount is 0.093, p = 0.001); 2) compared with the effect of school human resources investment and financial resources investment, human resources are superior, the effect amounts are 0.121 (p <0.01), 0.120 (p = 0.014); the effect of material resource is the lowest, but the impact is also very important with an effect amount of 0.099 (p = 0.009); 3) in human resource investment, teacher experience, teacher education, teacher qualifications, teacher training, teacher titles, and student-teacher ratios all have a positive and significant impact on student performance. Among the material resources, computer networking rates, average student fixed assets, average classroom and school areas affect students’ achievements significantly; 4) from a disciplinary perspective, the impact of school resource investment on Chinese language and mathematics is more significant, and from a regional perspective, the impact on central and western regions is more significant. We suggest based on our findings as: First, increase investment in school resources, especially financial resources and investment in schools in the western region; Second, pay attention to the input and allocation of teachers’ resources, especially to improve the shortage of small-scale high-quality teachers in rural areas; Third, keep pace with the times and improve the allocation of physical conditions in schools.
