The Logic of Increment:a Qualitative Study on High-quality Parent-teacher Meetings
Parent-Teacher Meetings(PTMs)serve as a formalized channel of communication between schools and families.The essence of high-quality PTMs lies in fostering adaptive interactions between teachers'"supply"and parents'"demand".Utilizing interview methods to present the current state of PTMs,it is observed that teachers emphasize overall benefits,current requirements,and objective data in conducting these meetings,whereas parents'experiences and expectations highlight individual attention,future planning,and emotional needs.These differences reveal the underlying tension in school-family cooperation.By adopting"Incremental Logic"as the core category of high-quality PTMs,it is understood that school-family interactions are not a zero-sum game but an expandable space of cooperation through joint efforts.This paper further discusses the theoreti-cal model and action pathways for high-quality PTMs.
