Abstract

: Worldwide, the use of private supplementary tutoring, commonly re- ferred to as shadow education , has become increasingly prevalent since the turn of the millennium. Recently, participation rates in the Netherlands have substantially increased. This paper aims to explore the place of shadow education in students’ academic lives by studying the goals and experienced benefits that students identify. Data were collected through 37 semi-structured interviews with tutored students in secondary education in the Netherlands. Our findings indicate that students conceived of shadow education as a skill-building institution to which they turned to for self-study, to receive career support, and to boost their performance. Students’ reflections reveal that shadow education builds upon and extends, but does not replace, learning activities at home and school. Based on our findings, we discuss how shadow education can function as a “third place” between school and home, occupying an increasingly prominent position in students’ academic lives.
学校与家之间的地方:荷兰学生学术生活中影子教育的位置探索
在世界范围内,使用私人补习辅导,通常被称为影子教育,自世纪之交以来变得越来越普遍。最近,荷兰的参与率大幅提高。本文旨在通过研究学生认同的目标和体验到的益处,探讨影子教育在学生学业生活中的地位。数据是通过对荷兰接受中等教育的辅导学生进行的37次半结构化访谈收集的。我们的研究结果表明,学生认为影子教育是一个技能培养机构,他们转向自学,获得职业支持,并提高他们的表现。学生的反思表明,影子教育是建立在家庭和学校学习活动的基础上的,是对学习活动的延伸,而不是取代。根据我们的研究结果,我们讨论了影子教育如何作为学校和家庭之间的“第三个地方”,在学生的学习生活中占据越来越突出的地位。
