How Does Online Public Opinion Shape Education Policy:Analyzing the National"Double Reduction"Policy Agenda as An Example Using Adapted Multi-stream Theoretical Framework
With the rapid popularity of the Internet,online public opinion has gradually become an impor-tant factor in influencing public policy.At present,as out-of-school training enters a period of regulation and gov-ernance,how does online public opinion influence education policy-making in agenda setting.This is a topic worth exploring in depth.This article adapts the prototype of Kingdon's multi-stream theory to the real situation and the needs of the subject matter,and constructs a theoretical framework of"one centre-two stages-three streams",and takes the national"double reduction"policy agenda analysis as an example to investigate how on-line public opinion influences education policy.The study finds that"agenda setting"is a central point in under-standing the policy of out-of-school training,and the policy agenda,driven by online public opinion presents two progressive stages from the"issue window"to the"political window".The origins of problems,politics,and poli-cies also converge in the superposition and coupling of two pairs,and finally open the"policy window"to en-able the drafting and introduction of the"double reduction"policy.This study contributes to a deeper understand-ing of how the multi-stream theory applies to and explains the development of the education policy agenda in the Chinese context.
