摘要

摘要: 贫困文化理论在今天的教育研究中常被用以解释贫困家庭的文化和教育水平如何导致了其经济条件的代际传递。此理论作为一种“贫困知识”产生于二十世纪中叶的美国反贫困计划。以批判性贫困研究的理论视角回顾这一计划对贫困儿童的大规模教育干预，厘清有关“贫困文化”和“文化贫乏儿童”的知识如何被美国社会心理学实验和人类学田野研究所发明，继而被美国联邦政府用作反贫困战争的理论基础，进而被教育研究者和管理者转译为干预辍学儿童的课程和教师教育项目——这些项目成为美国二十世纪六十年代课程教学改革中影响深远却不被关注的潜流。基于“贫困文化”的教育干预最终与标准化考试相结合，以机会公平之名对学生进行事实上的分流，加重而非消除了贫困学生的被剥夺感和社会共同体内部的割裂。

Abstract: The culture of poverty theory is often used in today's educational research to explain how the culture and education of poor families lead to the intergenerational transmission of their economic conditions. This theoretical discourse emerged as a kind of "poverty knowledge" in the United States War on Poverty project during the mid-twentieth century. By tracing the large-scale educational interventions for poor children as the main part of this project from the theoretical perspective of critical poverty studies, this article examines how the knowledge about the "culture of poverty" was invented by American social psychological experiments and anthropological field research, and then adopted by the US federal government as the theoretical basis for the War on Poverty, and also translated by education researchers and administrators into three kinds of assumptions about the "culturally deprived children". The curriculum and teacher education programs that took up these assumptions to intervene in the dropout students became a far-reaching but unnoticed undercurrent in the curriculum reform of the 1960s. Such dropout interventions were eventually combined with standardized tests to create a de facto triage of students in the name of equal opportunity, which exacerbated rather than eliminated the sense of deprivation of poor students and the fragmentation within society.
