We randomly selected one class from each of the three grade levels within each of the five schools to form our treatment group. In total, we selected 718 students from 15 classes, which accounted for one-quarter of the total sample. The remaining 2,319 students formed the control group. For the treatment group, we asked the corresponding teachers to teach a recitationsession to students through an online Tencent Meeting every Friday after regular on-line classes.The Tencent Meeting was set up by members of our experimental team,and in line with the regular online recorded course session, we set the duration of theonline recitation session to 30 minutes. For the control group, all students were directed to self-study at home.
