Abstract

This article focuses on a Danish study of an early childhood intervention that targets young minority ethnic children and their parents. The intervention, termed ‘mandatory learning programme’ is an example of current European policies that endeavour to support young children's learning as key to enhancing their future school performance and fighting inequality and marginalisation. This study employs document analysis and ethnographic methods to examine the political representations of the problems targeted by the intervention and to investigate how the intervention affects parents' everyday lives. The findings reveal that the parents involved in the intervention find it challenging to maintain their engagement in education and work; hence concluding, the intervention risks enhancing exclusion from society, despite its aim to prevent exactly that.

强制性学习计划——一个你无法拒绝的机会。政治问题表征与家长观点
这篇文章关注的是丹麦的一项针对少数民族儿童及其父母的早期儿童干预研究。这项被称为“强制性学习计划”的干预措施是当前欧洲政策的一个例子,这些政策努力支持幼儿的学习,将其作为提高他们未来学业表现和对抗不平等和边缘化的关键。本研究采用文献分析和民族志方法来检验干预所针对的问题的政治表征,并调查干预如何影响父母的日常生活。研究结果显示,参与干预的父母发现保持他们对教育和工作的投入具有挑战性;综上所述,干预有可能加剧社会排斥,尽管其目的正是为了防止这种情况发生。
