American scholars Sugai and Horner pointed out that positive behavioral support at the school level was conducive to the overall academic and social development of students. As a place where adolescents spend more than half of their adequate time every day, school plays an important role in the holistic development and healthy growth of adolescents ( Eccles and Roeser, 2011 Tang et al., 2013). On the basis of clarifying the concept of school support, it is necessary to try to develop and validate school support measurement tools with great reliability, validity, and general applicability to provide a practical reference for educators around the world.Īccording to ecological system theory, school is one of the most proximal and essential factors influencing individual development at the microsystem level ( Bronfenbrenner, 1977, 1992 Axlund McBride and Lott, 2015). Therefore, future research should be broadly extended to the knowledge system in higher education. Overall, previous studies indicated that school support has a positive impact on student development. (4) The research mainly adopts quantitative research methods and focuses on special student populations or students below the high school level. (3) Most of the previous studies were based on social support theory, ecological system theory, and school climate theory. (2) The concepts and measurement tools of school support were not clear, and most studies used concepts and measurement tools of “social support” or “school climate” as substitutes for school support. The following results were obtained: (1) Related research in both Chinese and English showed an overall increasing trend. Finally, 36 core-journal articles with high academic reference value and authority are identified, including seven in Chinese and 29 in English. A systematic literature review was conducted through literature inclusion and data extraction according to the PRISMA guidelines. The data for this study were sourced from the literature on school support included in the China National Knowledge Network (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS) from 2000 to 2021. However, there is still ambiguity in the English and Chinese studies on the concept and measurement tools of school support. School support is of great significance to students' academic quality and overall physical and psychological development. 2Department of Education Management, Chinese International College, Dhurakij Pundit University, Bangkok, Thailand.1School of Finance and Economics, Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology, Haikou, China.
