Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Home Visitation Practices of junior high school teachers in Guiping City, Guangxi, and the challenges in their Home Visitation Practices and the actions they made to address the challenges. The survey results showed that junior high school teachers in Guiping City, Guangxi have done a good job in Home Visitation Practices, but there are still many challenges in their Home Visitation Practices, involving school level, teacher level, family level and community level. Participants took a series of positive actions to address the challenges. It can be seen from the actions they took that the challenges faced in Home Visitation Practices need to be solved and overcome by the concerted efforts of schools, teachers, families and communities.
