Parental Involvement in Learning Quality of Senior Kindergarten Children: A Moderated Mediation Model

Learning quality is critical to the long-term development of young children, and parents play an important role in shaping their learning. This study adopted a questionnaire survey method to investigate 113 senior kindergarten children and their parents in Nanchang City, so as to explore the mediating role of family cultural orientation and the moderating role of family intimacy. The results showed that: (1) Parental involvement, learning quality of senior kindergarten children, and family cultural orientation were significantly intercorrelated; (2) Parental involvement significantly and positively predicted the learning quality of senior kindergarten children; (3) Family cultural orientation exerted a partial mediating effect on the relationship between parental involvement and the learning quality of senior kindergarten children; (4) Family intimacy moderated the second half of the path in the aforementioned mediating process. These findings provide a new perspective for enhancing the learning quality of senior kindergarten children and offer theoretical support for home-kindergarten collaborative education.
