Vocational School Discipline Mechanism And Students' Subject Construction

Nowadays,vocational education is getting more and more attention in the society,but the public has been stereotyped about vocational school students,fighting,lack of ambition,dawdling and not studying are all labels for vocational school students.Although vocational education is considered as "secondary education",more and more students are forced to enter vocational schools after the middle school entrance examination,and regard vocational schools as a hope for upward mobility.However,the reality makes people feel powerless,after graduation secondary vocational students seem to be the same.They can only do some low-tech jobs.The researcher is concerned about why vocational education cannot become a way for vocational school students to move upward,and how the principal identity of vocational school students is shaped in vocational education.Based on a rational analysis of the research results of vocational education system and the development of domestic vocational education and drawing lessons from Foucault study of discipline power and Paul Willis' s boycott theory,this study pay attention to the subject construction of vocational school students in the educational mechanism.Taking the vocational school students of Nanjing G school as an example,the researcher participated in observing the school life of vocational school students and conducted interviews with 11 students.Firstly,the researcher investigates the changes of vocational education system and the current mode of vocational education from the historical perspective.Secondly,in the daily school life of the students,on the one hand,the school uses the micro power to discipline the students into a tame body through the control of space and time.On the other hand,students have corresponding reactions to various rules and regulations of the school.They resist the school authority to form a unique "teenage society",and also display an indifferent temperament.The self-identity of vocational school students has begun to be gradually constructed.Furthermore,in order to better manage teaching,the school uses monitoring and inspection methods,strengthens the reproduction of power,and uses the rule of virtue to allow students to be better managed,thereby achieving the educational positioning of vocational education.Last but not least,through the above research,we can find that in the process of school discipline education and students' resistance behavior,students' rebellious selfis shaped.In resisting the structure,they have identified themselves and recreated different subjects.The comfortable life of the school has nurtured consumerism.Hidden inferiority is hidden under perverse behavior.Students' insights into knowledge and diplomas are both resistant and recognized.Most importantly,in the process,they have found the identity of this group.The spirit of justice and relationship is their spiritual bond.In this way,the students of the vocational school reshaped their "poor students" in the choice of structure and autonomy,thereby accelerating the reproduction of their own bottom.
