Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of social and cultural reproduction, this article utilizes the conceptual tools of habitus and cultural capital to examine intergenerational inequalities in attitudes towards mathematics and mathematics learning in three secondary schools in England. Data from 1079 students aged 14–16 included mathematics achievement, survey measures of attitudes towards mathematics, perceived parental attitudes towards mathematics, newly developed scales for cultural capital and habitus, and social class. There was a very strong relationship between student’s attitudes towards mathematics and students’ perceptions of their parents’ attitudes towards mathematics. Middle-class students reported more positive attitudes towards mathematics, more positive perceived parental attitudes towards mathematics, and had higher mathematics achievement than working-class students. Cultural capital had a significant positive effect on students’ attitudes towards mathematics but a minor effect on their achievement in mathematics. However, cultural capital’s effect on students’ attitudes and achievement in mathematics faded when habitus was included in the model. We suggest that habitus may play a more central role than cultural capital in the reproduction of mathematics inequalities. School quality had a modest but significant impact on mathematics outcomes in this study, so we argue that challenges to mathematics inequalities will require changes both within and outside of mathematics classrooms.

社会阶层对数学的态度和数学成就的不平等跨代:定量布迪厄分析

本文借鉴布迪厄的社会和文化再生产理论,利用习性和文化资本的概念工具,考察了英格兰三所中学在数学和数学学习态度上的代际不平等。来自 1079 名 14-16 岁学生的数据包括数学成绩、对数学态度的调查测量、父母对数学的感知态度、新开发的文化资本和习惯量表以及社会阶层。学生对数学的态度与学生对父母对数学态度的看法之间存在非常密切的关系。中产阶级学生对数学的态度更积极,父母对数学的态度更积极,并且数学成绩比工薪阶层学生高。文化资本对学生的数学态度有显着的正向影响,但对他们的数学成绩影响较小。然而,当将惯习纳入模型时,文化资本对学生数学态度和成绩的影响减弱了。我们认为,在数学不平等的再生产中,惯习可能比文化资本发挥更重要的作用。在这项研究中,学校质量对数学成绩的影响不大,但影响很大,因此我们认为,对数学不平等的挑战将需要数学课堂内外的变化。文化资本对学生的数学态度有显着的正向影响,但对他们的数学成绩影响较小。然而,当将惯习纳入模型时,文化资本对学生数学态度和成绩的影响减弱了。我们认为,在数学不平等的再生产中,惯习可能比文化资本发挥更重要的作用。在这项研究中,学校质量对数学成绩的影响不大,但影响很大,因此我们认为,对数学不平等的挑战将需要数学课堂内外的变化。文化资本对学生的数学态度有显着的正向影响,但对他们的数学成绩影响较小。然而,当将惯习纳入模型时,文化资本对学生数学态度和成绩的影响减弱了。我们认为,在数学不平等的再生产中,惯习可能比文化资本发挥更重要的作用。在这项研究中,学校质量对数学成绩的影响不大,但影响很大,因此我们认为,对数学不平等的挑战将需要数学课堂内外的变化。我们认为,在数学不平等的再生产中,惯习可能比文化资本发挥更重要的作用。在这项研究中,学校质量对数学成绩的影响不大,但影响很大,因此我们认为,对数学不平等的挑战将需要数学课堂内外的变化。我们认为,在数学不平等的再生产中,惯习可能比文化资本发挥更重要的作用。在这项研究中,学校质量对数学成绩的影响不大,但影响很大,因此我们认为,对数学不平等的挑战将需要数学课堂内外的变化。
