Chengdu Primary and Secondary Schools under the Policy of

China's "double reduction" education policy is a relatively new statewide movement. There is still a gap in understanding of the policy, such as expectations and the empirical research due to the early stages of policy implementation. This study identifies the cognitive structure of the policy and uses the existing literature for implications that relate to the two goals of "double reduction" reduce workload both at school and external tutoring. In addition, it identifies some of the concerns at the preliminary stage of implementation in schools, using the content analysis of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China (2022) and interviews with relevant stakeholders. The findings identify education ecology and student centralism as essential concepts in a double reduction for guiding behavioural commitments for improving students' quality of life in the educational process. Aside from document content analysis and in-depth interviews, the 306 valid survey return provides statistical evidence that demonstrates four key predictors that influence student workload reduction and off-campus workload reduction: exam pressure reduction, increased homework accuracy, improved work content rationality, and decreased extracurricular training. This study suggests a theoretical structure for future survey-based research and a questionnaire design based on the research findings. The current literature clarifies the findings, positions them, and offers theoretical and practical consequences.

中国"双减（double reduction）"教育政策是一项尚处于推行初期的全国性教育改革举措。由于政策实施尚处早期阶段，当前学界与实务界对该政策的认知仍存在不足，例如对政策预期及相关实证研究的理解尚有缺口。本研究厘清了该政策的认知架构，并结合现有文献，提炼出与"双减"两大核心目标——减轻校内课业负担与校外培训负担——相关的实践启示。此外，本研究通过分析中华人民共和国教育部2022年发布的官方文件内容，并对相关利益相关者开展访谈，梳理了政策在学校初步实施阶段暴露出的若干关切问题。研究结果显示，教育生态与学生中心主义（student centralism）是推进"双减"工作、指导相关行为实践以提升教育进程中学生生活品质的核心概念。除文件内容分析与深度访谈外，本研究回收的306份有效问卷亦提供了统计证据，证实了影响学生校内课业减负与校外培训减负的四大关键预测因子：考试压力缓解、作业完成准确率提升、作业内容合理性优化，以及校外培训规模缩减。本研究可为未来基于问卷调查的相关研究提供理论框架，并可基于本研究结论优化问卷设计方案。现有研究文献对本研究的发现进行了澄清与定位，并提出了兼具理论与实践意义的相关结论。
