ABSTRACT

Migrant children in China’s cities are usually poor in family education environment and academic performance. In this study, a pair of 10-year-old and 8-year-old migrant children were selected as the experimental subjects for a one-semester extracurricular academic self-tutoring through tablet learning PC; as a result, their final exam scores in Chinese, English and mathematics have been improved by 30-70%, and their class ranks have upgraded from the bottom to the middle level, which were praised by teachers and other students, and their self-confidence and enthusiasm have been greatly enhanced. Finally, they plan to become excellent students in the class in the next semester. This study provides an economical and convenient way to improve the confidence of study and achievement of Chinese migrant children, and provides enlightenment and reference for the family education of disadvantaged children.
