Parents play a key role in children's home-based online learning. This study constructed a mediating model to explore the mechanism of parents' attitudes toward online learning (PATOL) and the perceived online learning ineffectiveness (POLI) of their children and to investigate the mediating effect of parents' self-efficacy (PSE) on PATOL and POLI. Valid questionnaire data from 18,170 middle school parents were collected by snowball sampling. The hypotheses proposed in this study were verified by using Model 4 of PROCESS. The results showed that: when controlling parents' gender, age, and children's length of online learning in regression equations, (1) both PATOL and PSE were negatively related to POLI, while PATOL was positively related to PSE; (2) PSE played a mediating role in the relationship between PATOL and POLI. This study also discusses how to support parents to assist children's home-based online learning. Schools should carry out some necessary training for parents. Parents can get guidance and advice on how to create an environment conducive to children's online learning.
家长在儿童家庭网络学习中起着关键作用。本研究构建了一个中介模型，以探索家长对网络学习的态度（PATOL）和他们孩子感知的网络学习无效性（POLI）的机制，并调查家长自我效能感（PSE）对 PATOL 和 POLI 的中介效应。通过滚雪球抽样，从 18170 名中学家长那里收集了有效问卷数据。本研究通过 PROCESS 的模型 4验证了所提出的假设。结果表明：在回归方程中控制家长的性别、年龄和孩子的在线学习时间后，（1）PATOL 和 PSE 与 POLI 呈负相关，而 PATOL 与 PSE 呈正相关；（2）PSE 在 PATOL 和 POLI 之间的关系中起中介作用。本研究还讨论了如何支持家长协助儿童的家庭网络学习。学校应为家长开展一些必要的培训。家长可以获得如何营造有利于儿童在线学习的环境的指导和建议。
