ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo know urban-rural differences of reference factors for the identification of students from poor families in order to provide references for identifying index system.Methods Questionnaires were used among 708 students from poor families.ResultsThere were 78.9％ urban and 89.1％ rural families whose average earnings were lower than 410 RMB per month.The number of majority urban and rural family (58.8％,75.4％ ) was 4 - 6 ; 77.0％ ( 86.3％ ) urban and 97.3％ (97.9％) rural fathers' ( mothers' ) education levels were high school or below; 8.6％ ( 23.1％ ) urban and 82.3 ％ ( 85.1％ ) rural fathers ( mothers ) were farmers.The proportion of students having computers was 87.2％ (urban) and 7 1.9 ％ (rural) ; 54.9％ urban and 63.9％ rural students' life was not frugal; 85.2％ urban and 79.1％ rural students thought campus cards shouldn't be monitored.ConclusionsThere are significant urban-rural differences of reference factors for the idenffication and family residence is the key indicator which should have higher weights.
ABSTRACT
Objective To know the problems of reference factors,and then provide evidences for scientific and specific identifying index system for students from poor families.Methods Questionnaires were used among 719 students from poor families.Results There were 86.0％ families whose earnings were lower than 410 RMB per month.57.2％ families depended on agriculture.70.1％ students were from the rural areas.Family member number was 4～6 for the majority ( 70.7％ ).91.2％ ( 94.5％ ) fathers'( mothers' ) education levels were under high middle school.64.0％ ( 67.3％ )fathers ( mothers ) were farmers.The proportion of students having computers was 76.1％.61.2％ students' life was not frugal.There were 80.9％ students who thought campus cards shouldn't be monitored.Conclusion Family economic situation should be the key indicator.Most of the basic family information could be reference factors.Basic situation of students at school was inappropriate to be reference factors.
