Empowerment or Negative Power:A Qualitative Study of the Operation of Teacher-Student Power in the Classroom from a Discipline Perspective
The operation of teacher-student power relations has a significant impact on the state of students'subjectivity in classroom participation.Based on Foucault's view of power,this paper attempts to reveal the operation mechanism and interaction mode of teacher-student power in the ele-mentary school classroom through the process of classroom participation and the use of qualitative research methods.It is found that the operation mechanism of teacher-student power in primary school classroom participation has the effect of both empowerment and negative power,with empow-erment being reflected in the promotion of students'subjectivity and negative power in the suppres-sion of students'subjectivity.In order to realize the empowering function of discipline,in the pro-cess of students'visible physical participation and uncontrollable mental participation,teachers use visual intervention and technological discipline to guide students to participate in the classroom in a standardized way from the body to the mind.Based on this,the following eight patterns of power in-teractions between teachers and students in the process of classroom participation are summarized un-der the combined effect of visual intervention and technological discipline:exhortative;restrictive;caring;detached;submissive;coping;performing;and permissive.
