- Abstract
In recent years, many urban youth have chosen to pay for self-study. They provide themselves with an immersive learning atmosphere by purchasing time and space. This study takes a critical theory perspective and adopts participatory observation and in-depth methods to study the phenomenon of paid self-study among urban youth. Research has found that paid self-study rooms have created their unique media landscape by combining consumer behavior with symbols through both online and offline means; The active choice of this form of consumption by paid self-study students is mainly due to the demand for self-discipline and performance in the meritorious society; In the process of paid self-study, learners experience alienation in terms of learning behavior, learning data, and learning subjects.
