批判民族志:弱势群体教育公平研究的新视野

Critical Ethnography——A New Field of Research on Education Equity of Disadvantaged Groups in China

近年来,我国关于弱势群体教育公平的研究成果颇丰,但是大多数仍然是宏观的政策理论研究,深入到弱势群体的微观实证研究成果还是很缺乏。批判民族志主要是通过研究者与研究对象的互动来理解和诠释研究对象的生活经历,并着手改造教育不公平的现象,因而为我国弱势群体教育公平研究提供了一个新视野,促进研究的深入发展。让研究者以"局内人"的身份理解弱势群体,深度描述和诠释弱势群体教育公平的现状;反思与批判背后的意识形态霸权与权力结构;在宏观与微观的视野中,提出建设性的解决对策,这才达到进行教育研究的真正目的。

In recent years,though many fruitful achievements in research on education equity of disadvantaged groups have been made,the majority are macro theories,micro research is still in need.Critical ethnography can help us understand the life experience of the subjects of study by the interaction between researchers and the subjects and change the unfavorable situation.Therefore,critical ethnography can become a new field of research on education equity of disadvantaged groups and promote the development of this research.As＂insiders＂,researchers should understand disadvantaged groups and interpret the current situation of this research;reflect on and criticize the hidden ideology and power structure;in macro and micro view,come up with some constructive measures,only in this way can they truly reach the aim of education research.
