The educational trajectory of Newly Arrived Migrant Students: Insights from a structural analysis of cultural capital

ABSTRACT

Background: The recent influx of Newly Arrived Migrant Students (NAMS) in Western-European societies poses important educational questions about how best to support migrant students within the education system.

Purpose: We sought to study how elements that are associated with cultural capital – namely a sense of entitlement and strategic knowledge – have relevance to NAMS’ educational trajectories. In studying the process of how cultural capital relates to educational careers, this study argues for a general shift from a resource-focused approach towards a strategy-focused approach to cultural capital.

Sample: We collected data from 33 NAMS from six secondary schools in a city in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium). A maximum difference approach was used: this allowed comparison of NAMS who followed the most academic track (general track) and the least academic track (vocational track) in secondary education in Flanders.

Design and methods: We undertook 33 in-depth biographical interviews during which the NAMS reconstructed their educational trajectories. Data were analysed qualitatively. We used structural approach analysis to identify each narrative’s core structure. These structured fragments were then thematically coded.

Results: Within the categories ‘a sense of entitlement’ and ‘strategic knowledge of the education system’, the analysis detected differences in strategies of action between pupils in the general track and in the vocational track.

Conclusion: The findings offer insights that could support the development of better strategies to guide and support NAMS in education. As NAMS’ integration in the educational system appears to be a stretched and slow process of orientation, studying their trajectory has the potential to deepen our understanding of known mechanisms of the reproduction of inequalities in education.

从《榆树下的欲望》剖析奥尼尔的悲剧意识

奥尼尔一生对人生悲剧及其成因进行了孜孜不倦的探索。章通过对《榆树下的欲望》一剧的人性剖析，揭示出清教思想、本能、欲念是促成人性异化、人格分裂的原因，并由此展示奥尼尔深刻的悲剧意识。     

论广义的递延年金

通过对递延年金涵义的分析，提出递延年金分广义的递延年金和狭义的递延年金，发现现行国内相关教材中年金分类与递延年金定义二者间的相互矛盾。在此基础上，认为递延年金现值计算容易出错的根源在于忽略了广义递延年金现值计算方法的介绍。给出了矛盾解决的办法，举例介绍了广义的递延年金现值计算公式。     

自我的构成与历史认识中的主体间性

本文从马克思的历史认识论出发,对传统认识论中的既定主体,即自我概念进行了反思,指出在认识的建构中,自我的构成与非个体意义上的主体间性处于一种同构的关系,这既是实践意识得以发生的境域,也是具有个体理性特征的认识论的基础。

实训教学的"通专结合一体化"探索实践

实训教学的整个过程在实训基地进行,有特殊的环境和实践条件,教师与学生之间呈互动关系和零距离接触,是做人与做事结合(通专结合)的最好体现.我院的电工电子实训,按照单元程序训练法组织教学,贯穿了通专结合一体化教学思想.根据电工电子实训的目标、要求和特点,把通识教育与职业岗位相关的要素等内容精心整理后打包,在实训教学的整个过程中因势利导进行讲解,收到了事半功倍的效果,是通专结合人才培养模式细化的重要方式.     

语文教学中学生角色意识的培养

在职业学校中，部分学生学习被动，缺乏主体意识，缘于学生对自己的学生角色意识的认识产生偏差。培养学生的角色意识要通过三条途径：在认知心理上唤醒学生的需要意识，激发学习的愿望；在教学内容上还给学生选择权，唤起学生参与意识；在教学方法上利用角色转换，强化学生的主体意识。     

谈"小班化教育"

“小班化教育”是中国发达地区教育现代化进程的必然，由于社会物质水平的提高，人民群众对优质教育的需求，又由于小学适龄儿童数的下降，“小班化教育”可以为学生发展提供优于“普通大班”的教育条件，使推行素质教育有了可靠的保证。
