On the role of habitus and field in apprenticeships
本文通过访谈加拿大高中学徒制项目的参与者,指出要扩大学徒制对年轻人的吸引力,必须更细致地考虑惯习与场域的关系。
Habitus is generally discussed in relation to academic forms of education. In other words, a working-class habitus disadvantages students in academic subjects or higher education. In contrast, it is often assumed that students who struggle with academic demands (perhaps because of habitus dislocation) can be served by vocational programmes such as apprenticeships, regardless of their social backgrounds or their habitus. Drawing on interviews with young men and women who participated in a high school-based apprenticeship programme in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Ontario, this article argues that a closer consideration of the relationships between habitus and field are necessary in order to make apprenticeships a viable alternative for a larger number of young people.
