“…The results of our study are in agreement with the study carried out by Burch, Good and Heinrich in which they found "significant associations between formats, curriculum drivers, tutor locations, and other characteristics of digital providers and their effectiveness in increasing student achievement, as well as differential access by student characteristics" [26] (p. 84). This positive relationship, between the tutoring framework-considered by students to be one of reference-and school progress is also anticipated by the study [3].…”

This paper, without intending to be exhaustive, is a presentation of an increasingly prominent social reality: the tutoring of pupils, as a parallel educational activity complementary to the education system, as a form of non-formal education, or as an alternative option for students’ parents to support them in their social success. Our research aimed to identify the perception/opinions of the beneficiaries of these tutoring activities, in relation to the relevant aspects of such activities, such as the way they are organized and carried out, the type and motivational level of students participating in such activities, the real dimensions of the phenomenon as manifested in Romanian society, etc. In order to achieve the purpose of our research, a questionnaire, with open-ended and closed-ended questions, was given to a significant number of people bearing the title of student, who had completed high school studies only 1–4 years ago. Based on the research carried out, it was possible to identify a hierarchy of motivational factors that determine whether students resort to tutoring; the causes of the occurrence and expansion of this phenomenon; and the opinions of the beneficiaries of tutoring services towards the organization and conduct of these activities. At the end of the article, some measures are presented that could optimize the balance between formal and non-formal education in Romanian society.

“…En segundo lugar, futuras investigaciones deberán analizar las diversas habilidades mentales de orden superior de los estudiantes, distintas del pensamiento creativo, así como otros resultados no cognitivos que podrían incluir, entre otros, la motivación, el autoconcepto académico y la ansiedad ante los exámenes (véase, por ejemplo, Benckwitz et al, 2022). De este modo, podríamos lograr un conocimiento más completo y detallado sobre la influencia que la educación en la sombra ejerce en otros resultados no académicos de los estudiantes.…”

“…Second, future research should examine various higher-order thinking skills other than creative thinking as well as non-cognitive outcomes, including but not limited to motivation, academic self-concept and test anxiety (for an example, see Benckwitz et al, 2022). By doing so, we can have a more complete understanding of how shadow education affects students’ non-academic outcomes.…”

Using longitudinal data for a nationally representative sample of fifth-graders from the Korean Educational Longitudinal Study of 2013, this study examined the effect of shadow educationreferred to as academically oriented extracurricular activities mainly aimed to prepare for examinations -on students' creative thinking. To estimate the effect of shadow education, we used propensity score matching approaches. We found no significant shadow education effect on gains (or losses) in students' creative thinking between the fifth and sixth grades. This finding does not support the arguments that students' participation in shadow education discourages or encourages their creative thinking. Implications, limitations and future research directions are discussed.

“…Although there is extensive research regarding economic burden of private tutoring ( Kim et al, 2022 ), demand for private supplementary tutoring, contributing factors, and their effects are investigated in a few studies so far ( Benckwitz et al, 2022 ). The present study therefore adds to the body of research the demand for private tutoring, its contributing factors, and their effects in the context of Punjab province of Pakistan.…”

Economic burden of private supplementary tutoring is increasing around the world. Demand for private supplementary tutoring, contributing factors, and their effects are investigated in the study. For this purpose, data were collected through questionnaire, and multistage non-probability technique was used. Hurder model was used to find the factors affecting demand for private supplementary tutoring at the higher secondary level. Linear regression model was used to find the economic burden of family and factors affecting the demand for private tutoring. The findings showed that several factors have a significant effect on the demand for private supplementary tutoring, and some of them significantly impact on the economic burden. The study recommends regulating the market of shadow education because of differentiated tuition fee in different tuition centers to cut down the burden of private tutoring for households.
