adolescent images of the future and the 'ideology of schooling' / by susan heald. --
abstract
the thesis addresses questions of both the methodology and
the substantive content of 'cultural reproduction' studies. at
the methodological level, the thesis examines the use of 'images
of the future' as a tool for discovering respondents'
'knowledge.' substantively, the thesis examines the 'ideology of
schooling' as it is created/recreated by grade 10 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
in a
small town in northwestern ontario.
unlike many other 'cultural reproduction' studies, this
study uses both boys and girls as subjects, although substantial
differences in their ideas were not found.
the data chapter records student reactions to possible
schools of the future. overall, the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
are not found to
have ideas about future schools that are different from those in
the current system, and appear to support that system. the
analysis attempts to explain this apparent lack of 'resistance'
to schooling. student views of 'human nature', of the
relationship between school and work, and reactions to
'counter-school' influences appear as potential explanations.
advances in theory, feminist methodology, and the use of
science fiction in developing 'images of the future' are
discussed as areas of further research and practice.
