教育场域中的生存心态与文化资本——基于厦门市农民工子女教育状况的实证研究

Habitus and Cultural Capital in Educational Field:Research on Educational Situation of Rural-to-urban Migrant Workers' Children in Xiamen City

以布迪厄的"文化资本理论"为研究视角,从"教育场域"中"身体化""客观化""制度化"形态的"文化资本"和"生存心态"角度,对厦门市湖里区初中在读的农民工子女教育状况进行实证研究。研究表明,农民工子女在"文化资本"上呈现出较为弱势的特点,具体表现为固有的"文化资本"与学校主流的"文化资本"不相契合,"文化资本"生成较为困难且质量不高;学习愿望较强但学习动机并不明朗;就读于不同类型学校和来自不同流出地的农民工子女在接受教育状况上的差异较为显著。

This paper ,by using Pierre Bourdieu’s Cultural Capital Theory ,from the angle of the specific form , objective form , and institutional form of cultural capital as well as the habitus , investigates the rural‐to‐urban migrant workers’ children who are studying in junior high schools in Huli District ,Xiamen ,Fujian province ,to summarize and analyze their current educational condition . The study reveals that the migrant workers’ children have comparatively small cultural capital ,which shows from the fact that cultural capital owned by migrant workers’ children is not correspondence with mainstream cultural capital in the school educational field;it is difficult to generate and accumulate adequate cultural capital;the children have strong desire to study but with unclear motivation ;and also there are big discrepancies among children studying in different types of schools and coming from different places ,in terms of educational condition .
