Representation,Conflict and Reshaping of Multiple Institutional Logics in Inclusive Preschool Education
The development of integrated preschool education is an inherent requirement for the development of quality and inclusive preschool education in China,and it echoes the internal re-quirement and external representation of Chinese-style modernization.Under the framework of the in-clusive preschool education system,the behavioral choices made by the central government,local governments,kindergartens and parents based on their responsibilities and interests form the correla-tion order of multiple institutional logics.The central government carries out the will of the state ac-cording to the logic of the state,the local government carries out the tasks of its superiors and maxi-mizes its own interests according to the logic of the achievement,the kindergartens provide educa-tional services for all children according to the logic of education,and the parents protect their own interests according to the logic of the individual.In practice,differences in values and competition for limited resources among subjects inevitably lead to tensions and conflicts between multiple insti-tutional logics,which are manifested as follows:distortion of policies caused by the collusion strategy under the discretion of local governments,the responsibility avoidance of kindergartens under multi-ple pressures,and psychological doubts caused by the discrete interests of parents.To address this issues,it is imperative to strategically modulate the multifaceted institutional logics with the objec-tive of propelling high-caliber development in inclusive preschool education.This can be achieved through a triadic approach,primarily by bolstering governmental accountability to foster a cohesive policy formulation and implementation cycle,secondarily by fortifying the support framework to en-hance the qualitative benchmarks of inclusive preschool education,and tertiarily by allaying skepti-cism to acquire parental affective and active endorsement.
