Abstract: | The New Zealand Progress at School study has demonstrated that certain personal dispositions, elements of the habitus, are associated with relative educational progress at school. The most important of these prove to be aspiration, academic self-concept, and perception of schooling. It is suggested, however, that these characteristics of the successful student are elements of the stratified self, unified by an overarching concept of education. Interview material with senior secondary school students is used to show how the desire to be educated within a specific concept of education is essential to their success. It is argued, with close reference to Bourdieu, that the concepts of education and the educated person need to be founded on the educational necessary as real knowledge. |
