在求知与流动之间:新生代农村女大学生的考研动因研究

Between Knowledge Seeking and Mobility:Research on the Motivation of Postgraduate Entrance Examination for New Generation Rural Female College Students

新生代农村女大学生是考研群体的重要组成部分。该研究以46份教育自传为样本,利用质性分析软件,基于生命历程理论的理论视角,遵循扎根理论方法进路,探究其考研决策的行为动因。研究发现求知与流动是该群体生命历程的核心事件,在空间流动中求知的生命体验塑造了个体化特征,孕育了“考研”这一为实现社会流动而继续求知的个体化抉择。中国式现代化创造的制度空间、知识可获得性的途径扩展、家庭提供的组织保障和不断强化的个体化倾向共同构成了该群体考研决策的巨大动力。
