Formation of Marginality:The Transition Logic of educational mentality of contemporary Chinese peasants:Ethnographic research based on M village
"Marginality"is the outstanding character of peasants'educational mentality in the process of rural education modernization,and it is an excellent window to understand this historical process.Through the ethnographic study of M village in northern Jiangsu,it is found that peasants,as the subject of action,understand the newly emerged"tiger parenting"under the framework of the traditional"destiny concept",forming a new look of peasants'educational mentality.They center"tiger parenting"on the construction of a good external learning environment,and maintain"hoping for heaven"mentality for children"self".Two contradictory educational mentality——"tiger parenting"and"hoping for heaven"—coexist in the current peasants'educational mentality through"mutual construction",which makes their educational mentality show"marginal"character.However,when this"mutual construction"fails to achieve a"delicate balance",the contradiction and tension between the two become prominent,and peasants fall into educational anxiety.In this way,only by finding the"balance point"between the two,so that they can re-establish the dialectical balance of"do one's level best and leave the rest to God's will",peasants can realize the spiritual"stability"in the reform of rural education.
