Abstract
In the context of the “Double Reduction” policy, this paper takes the group of “Tiger Parenting” in Beijing, who have had intensive extracurricular education experiences, as the research subjects, and explores how extracurricular education influences the formation of self-awareness in adolescents. The research findings indicate that extracurricular education not only provides adolescents with more educational choices but also, due to its particularly concentrated distribution in specific areas, serves as a platform for adolescents to engage in social activities with more diverse peers and to gather and disseminate information. At the same time, the “extracurricular class” becomes another space for adolescents, beyond the family and school, where they can encounter different groups and various life scenarios, contributing to the development of their spatiotemporal perspectives. The study concludes that although overly intensive extracurricular education can occasionally lead to psychological stress among adolescents in rare cases, overall, the diverse choices offered by extracurricular education aid adolescents in better exploring their interests. Furthermore, it positively influences their self-confidence and social skills through various means.
