The shift in social family structures indicates a trend of declining birth rates. Parents, treasuring their children, increasingly prioritize education quality. Concurrently, dual-income households are on the rise, and the education landscape, including the dynamic 108 curriculum, is undergoing constant reforms. As students finish school, parents frequently turn to after-school tutoring institutions. Consequently, the quality of these institutions becomes a key concern for modern parents. In this study, we delve into parents' selection criteria for after-school tutoring institutions, using the typologies of product attributes as a framework. We focus on parents of students either currently attending or previously enrolled in elementary school tutoring institutions within the central region. Out of 442 distributed surveys, 420 were effectively collected, yielding a robust 95% response rate. The research underscores that parents prioritize key indicators over mere satisfaction when choosing tutoring centers. Significant enhancements are observed in the fourth quadrant, particularly related to institutional facilities. These improvements encompass critical factors such as well-implemented safety measures in activity spaces, as well as spacious and comfortable environments. Caring services are another pivotal aspect, aiding children lacking supervision at home and addressing pertinent matters. Post-counseling, children exhibit heightened learning motivation and improved attitudes. Furthermore, personal performance outcomes show improved concentration, self-confidence, autonomy, and enhanced behavioral norms. The interaction between teachers and students is pivotal. Teachers timely encourage positive behavior, rectify deviations, and guide students in daily routines. Likewise, the adaptability of professional teachers' disciplinary attitudes to accommodate parental requests is paramount. Based on these findings, we recommend that institution operators amplify their focus on the 'personal performance outcomes' factor. Parents can use on-site visits as a benchmark for selecting after-school tutoring institutions. Additionally, counseling institution operators should adopt segmented promotional strategies based on parental demographics, including status, age, and annual family income, to effectively target specific market segments. |
