Abstract

Parental choice of school is an under-researched area in the Australian educational literature. Moreover, research in this area tends to focus on school choice with respect to government policy and market influences. This paper presents the findings from doctoral research which explored the ways in which parents living in rural and remote areas selected a secondary boarding school for their child. In particular, the paper shows the complex psychical constructions undertaken by non-Indigenous parents in their defining of ‘good’ schools, which subsequently underpin their selection of school. The confluences of geography, school culture and race on the parental choice of school process are explored.
农村和偏远地区家长对学校的选择
在澳大利亚的教育文献中,家长对学校的选择是一个研究不足的领域。此外,这一领域的研究往往侧重于政府政策和市场影响下的择校问题。本文介绍了博士研究的结果,该研究探讨了生活在农村和偏远地区的父母为他们的孩子选择中学寄宿学校的方式。特别是,该论文显示了非土著父母在定义“好”学校时所进行的复杂的心理建构,这随后支持了他们对学校的选择。探讨了地理、学校文化和种族对家长择校过程的影响。
