职业学校是随迁子女初中毕业后的重要流向。基于M职业学校的实地调查,本文描述了随迁子女选择职业学校的原因、心目中的职业教育图景、初始工作状态,并尝试回答职业教育对于随迁子女向上流动的意义。研究发现:随迁子女的家庭资本、高考的政策限制以及职业学校的大规模扩招构成了随迁子女进入职业学校的作用力。同时,随迁子女父母对职业教育的价值认同并不高。而随迁子女自身一方面"合理化"职业教育,另一方面的确存在着职业梦想,但实习境遇又使得这种梦想事与愿违,最后不得不在很大程度上复制着父辈和兄辈的生活足迹。
Vocational schools are an important choice for children of rural migrant workers after graduating from junior high school. Based on the field survey in M vocational school,the author describes why the rural migrant workers' children choose vocational schools,their ideal vocational education,their work condition right after graduation,and concludes the significance of vocational education to the rural migrant workers' children. The study finds that the rural migrant family capital,the policy restrictions and the positioning of the vocational schools constitute the pulling force and thrust for migrant children's admission into vocational schools; however,parents' approval of vocational education is not high; the rural migrant workers' children themselves both take some comfort and have a dream,but vocational practice tend to break their dream,who finally have to copy their older generation's life to a large extent.
